Prelude and fugue

In classical music, the combination of prelude and fugue is one with a long history. Many composers have written works of this kind. The use of this format is generally inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's two books of preludes and fugues — The Well-Tempered Clavier — completed in 1722 and 1742 respectively. Bach, however, was not the first to compose such a set: Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer wrote a 20-key cycle in his 1702 work Ariadne musica.

A number of composers wrote sets of pieces covering all 24 major and/or minor keys. Many of these have been sets of 24 preludes and fugues, or 24 preludes.

gollark: But this is "practically impossible", I'd say, especially interfacing it with your precompiled JS.
gollark: Without an actual sequential-logic-y CPU.
gollark: You could maybe get away with, somehow, a hardware-based JS parser and interpreter in addition to your premade static compiler thing.
gollark: `eval`?
gollark: Okay, *how* is JS to be compiled to hardware without dropping features?
