Bach's Prelude and Fugue No. 22 in B flat minor (BWV 867) comes near the
end of the Well-Tempered Clavier.
Throughout the collection, Bach explores all 24 major and minor keys,
each of which comes with its distinct atmosphere. B flat minor, with its five flats, exudes a
darkly-veiled warmth and melancholy.
The prelude is filled with a sense of deep longing. From the opening bars, you can hear the
wrenching, dissonant tension in the harmony.
This is followed by a rare five-voice fugue. The voices seem to pile on top of each
other, bringing this sublime, contrapuntal drama to a close.
