Favourite prelude and fugue

[Mystery]

If you had to choose one of Bach's preludes and fugues, which would it be?
a) to listen to
b) to play
Are they the same?

What are your reasons?

d minor

Which book?  I'd go for book 2 any day!

Book one's B Minor is amazing.

Book two's Bb minor fugue is also pretty spectacular.

and so is........

It is difficult to chose only one Prelude and Fugue. Perhaps the Prelude and Fugue for organ, in C minor, BWV 546. Or the Prelude and Fugue in E minor BWV 548.

I'd choose Prelude and Fugue in E Major, BWV 552 "St Anne".

Very exultant music!
