... is particularly qualified to develop the fingers in conjunction with musical expression and thematic characterisation.
I believe many people will play Bach's Prelude & Fugue in the coming exam, the following is a definition of them (extracted from Piano Playing - Josef Hofmann):
Prelude - as something which intentionally precedes and fitting introduces a main action (as an introduction), fits the musical Prelude perfectly.
Fugue - is the most legitimate representation of true polyphony (combination of several melodic patterns to form a single piece of music). A Fugue is the flight of one musical thought through many voices or parts, subject to strict rules.
For me, it can inspires myself to play better if I can understand their particular meaning.
My favourite Bach's music are the Brandenburg Concertos No. 2 in B minor, especially the "Polonaise" and Air in D major (this is a very pop one which appeared in the movie "seven sins")
