As your instructor Magdalena Stern-Baczewska points out, most of the core devices used in Bach's fugues are already found here. She demonstrates the subtle physical movements that will allow you to balance two voices in the same hand while preserving the independent character of each motive. In doing so, she gives you the tools to realize the work's musical message, which is a profound one. Combining a descending lament, a sighing motive, and a jarring countersubject, Bach infuses this work with religious symbolism – culminating with the transformation from darkness to light in the final cadence.
