Review:
Contrasting patterns in varied voices work in almost perpetual motion over the simple "passacaglia" bass line in this early keyboard piece. Patterns combine duplet and triplet eighths, dotted eighths and sixteenths. There are minimal accidentals. Varying dynamic levels add challenges for busy ringers in this fast moving arrangement. Set in C Major, this piece is 70 measures.
