Prelude and Fugue in C minor, BWV 546 is a piece of organ music written by Johann Sebastian Bach, with the prelude dating around his time in Leipzig (1723–1750), and the fugue dating around his time in Weimar (1708–1717).

The little Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 559 lies in the shadows of Bach's celebrated Prelude and Fugue in A minor, BWV 543. The demisemiquaver passagework of the little prelude is typical of toccata organ writing in Southern Germany, although they can also be found in Dieterich Buxtehude 's works; the use of pedal points in BWV 559 ...

This 4-voice fugue BWV 543 has been compared to Bach's harpsichord Fugue in A minor, BWV 944, a 3-voice fugue that was probably written in 1708, and this organ fugue has even been called "the final incarnation" of BWV 944. [7] (A similarity had been mentioned by Wolfgang Schmieder, editor of the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis.)
The chorale prelude Christ unser Herr zum Jordan kam BWV 684 has a trio sonata like ritornello in C minor in the three parts of the manuals with the cantus firmus in the tenor register of the pedal in the Dorian mode of C. Bach specifically stipulates two keyboards to give different sonorities to the imitative upper parts and the bass part.
Most are three- and four-voiced fugues, but two are five-voiced (the fugues in C ♯ minor and B ♭ minor from Book 1) and one is two-voiced (the fugue in E minor from Book 1). The fugues employ a full range of contrapuntal devices (fugal exposition, thematic inversion, stretto , etc.), but are generally more compact than Bach's fugues for organ .
Unlike most of his other organ preludes and fugues, the Prelude and Fugue in C major was written when Bach was in Arnstadt. [2] Once he arrived there in 1703, he immediately fell in love with the Neue Kirche (now renamed in commemoration to Bach the Bachkirche.)
