As we listen to the Prelude and Fugue in D minor from book II of Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, it’s worth reflecting on the fact that Beethoven chose D minor as the home key for two of his best-loved compositions:
Sonata #17 , Opus 31 No. 2 – “The Tempest”
Symphony #9 , Opus 125 – the “Choral Symphony”
Bach Prelude and Fugue in D minor BWV 875 (Book II)
