Subtitle edit

It's my understanding, and there may be a consensus (for example, most of the scholarly editions such as Bärenreiter or Breitkopf & Härtel) that Bach didn't provide subtitles to any of his Praeludia or Fugues, including this one; the designation "Little" was probably added later. 71.243.80.99 13:24, 13 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

The subtitle is certainly not by Bach. --81.173.169.121 06:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply
I agree, so I am removing the word Little from the title and other references to it, and adding it as "Little" after the title.RGB2 (talk) 05:12, 2 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Mathematical? edit

What does this sentence mean: This piece is mathematical and precise. --81.173.169.121 06:39, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Fake? edit

Hebrew wikipedia's page about bach's works http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A8%D7%A9%D7%99%D7%9E%D7%AA_%D7%99%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%AA_%D7%91%D7%90%D7%9A_(%D7%A8%D7%99%22%D7%91) claims that this piece is fake. anyone knows about that by chance? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.176.112.247 (talk) 01:21, 24 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Appearances in media edit

Yes the section on media is not necessary, as in many other Wikipedia articles. But many people hear pieces like this one in media and wonder what they are, and probably never hear them in the way they were meant to be heard. Better would be to include analysis and historical context for this piece, but few people can write about such matters, and few can understand them. Countersubjects? Stretto? Exposition? Imitation? Episodes? Counterpoint? Polyphony? What should be added to this article, and many other musical ones like it?RGB2 (talk) 06:40, 30 January 2012 (UTC)Reply
