Prelude No. 3 is one of my favorite preludes in Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier. The word "arrangement" is perhaps a bit misleading, as I endeavored to create a new work based on the prelude but employing new material as well, influenced by my own harmonic and rhythmic sensibilities. I hope the listener enjoys this view of Bach's amazing, lively little piece through a contemporary lense. - Bruce Stark
