Just as in Gothic architecture the great plan develops out of the simple motive, but enfolds itself in the richest detail instead of in rigid line, and only makes its effect when every detail is truly
vital, so the impression of a Bach work makes on the hearer...
-Albert Schweitzer, J.S. Bach

I admit that I do not understand the title that Chopin liked to give to those short pieces: Preludes. Preludes to what? Each of Bach’s preludes is followed by its fugue; it is an
integral part of it. Each of [these Preludes of Chopin] is a prelude to a meditation. Each of them creates a particular atmosphere, establishes an emotional setting, then fades out as a bird
alights. All is still.
-Andre Gide, Notes sur Chopin
