Like No 2 in D minor the prelude is cast in ternary form. The similarity of the opening motif to that in the last movement of the Pastorale, BWV590, has often been noted. The fugue subject has the characteristics of a north German fugue, particularly the rocking semiquavers of the second bar. As with the C major fugue the part-writing is not particularly developed.
