Alexander Glazunov(1865-1936) - Prelude and Fugue D-major op.93
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His first organ work Op.93 was completed in 1906 in Saint Petersburg under the influence and encouragement of his colleague Jacques Handschin(1886–1995)

Attention ! This is a real tempo that should be here - any other faster variants simply ruin the epic, wide symphonic scale of this monumental work . Glazunov starts the Prelude with a majestic and broad theme in a homophonic chordal texture with an ADAGIO tempo marking. The dynamic mark ff in m.1 is suggested by the
editor, not the composer

The Fugue of Op.93 is a double fugue with four voices in D Major containing two
different subjects. Glazunov presents each subject separately, then combines them. The
tempo is Moderato ( not fussy Allegro as many performers play - sounds disgusting).
The registration and dynamic marks in are the suggestions from
the editor.
