Topic: J S Bach Fugue (Pianoteq 8)

This, for me very difficult piece, (maybe I shouldn't have uploaded it) is from a notebook from 1911, published by Karl Ekman - ”31 little preludes and fugues”. Andante con moto.

He, Ekman,  has based his work on three previous editions of the same work, including the Italian "Edizione Ricordi" published by Mugellini. Regarding phrasing and execution of embellishments, he has followed the excellent edition published by Mugellini. For some reason, he, Mugellini, has excluded this piece, no. 31, so Ekman included 31 in his sheet music.

The pianist, conductor, arranger, teacher and critic, Karl Ludvig Ekman, was born to the Kantor Berndt Ludvig Ekman and Charlotta Nyström. Ekman graduated from high school in 1889 and studied German language and aesthetics at the University of Helsinki from 1889 to 1892.
He continued his studies from 1892 to 1895 in Berlin, piano playing and composition with Hans Barth and Albert becker, as well as in Vienna with Alfred Grünfeldin. Later, he studied also in Paris and Rome.
For a long time, Karl Ekman was considered Finland's most respected concert pianist and an accomplished orchestral soloist….

This one was easier ......with harpsichord:
