Prelude and Fugue in F-sharp major, BWV 882

The Prelude and Fugue in F-sharp major, BWV 882, is a keyboard composition written by Johann Sebastian Bach.

Addition voices were added in the concluding measures for the sake of enriching the harmony.

[1] This prelude has a punctuated rhythm, similar to the style of a French overture.

[2] The fugue is 84 measures long and in the form of a gavotte.

The prelude has a distinct Gallic flair; with its ornamentations and dotted rhythms, it reminisces of the sixteenth variation of the 30 Goldberg Variations, which also divides the work in half, and is also in French style.
