The Prelude in B Minor is an arrangement for piano by Alexander Siloti of the Prelude in E Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach from his Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. Bach reused the piece as the tenth prelude in the first volume of The Well-Tempered Clavier. Siloti transposes Bach’s original down from the original E minor to B minor, and the steady sixteenth note figuration that was originally given by Bach to the left hand is changed to the right hand, making for a remarkably ethereal and somber take on the original version.
