This Piece is one of the Eight Short Preludes and Fugues, which are a collection of works for keyboard and pedal by Johann Sebastian Bach. They were believed for a long time to have been composed by one of Bach's pupils, Johann Tobias Krebs, based on certain unusual characteristics of the music when played on the organ. These pieces came to be played often on the organ in the 19th and 20th centuries because other keyboard instruments with pedal are no longer as ubiquitous as they were at the time of composition.

These works continue to be performed frequently in Christian worship because of their short length (about 3 minutes each) and ease of performance compared to the undoubtedly authentic preludes and fugues of J.S. Bach.
