Hi
Tomorrow I shall be playing BWV550 for an audition, though just the prelude, as I haven't had the time to learn the fugue (and I consider it to be out of my league as of right now...). This, my teacher said, should be no problem in an audition situation, but do you experience that in concerts, preludes and fugues are ever performed separately?
I'm asking because I've been asked to play no more than perhaps 5 min. of organ music at a concert with my church choir, and I'm currently learning the fugue of BWV 545 and would really like to play that live - with or without the prelude. But would there be an authenticity problem in just performing the fugue?
