Prelude BWV 999 by J.S. Bach is a short, expressive piece for lute, though often performed on guitar or harpsichord, composed around 1720. Written in C minor, it showcases Bach’s mastery of counterpoint and harmonic flow in a single-voice texture. The prelude features a continuous arpeggiated pattern, creating a delicate, introspective mood with subtle dynamic shifts. Its structure is free yet cohesive, emphasizing melodic fluidity and harmonic progression. Frequently used in pedagogical settings, it remains a favorite for its elegance and technical accessibility.
