Bach's G major is consistently bright, joyful, and intellectually engaging. This prelude encompasses vibrant, virtuosic, and beautiful elements. Consequently, for articulation, it is advisable to play eighth notes staccato, while quarter notes and sixteenth notes should be played legato. In measure 5, for instance, the soprano sustains a whole note, and the alto voice below plays staccato; this alone can create the impression of two distinct voices. The addition of sixteenth notes further below completes the impression of a full three-voice texture.

The overall dynamic level for this prelude does not necessitate an excessive forte, as G major is not a "strong" key like F major. For tempo, a moderato or faster setting is appropriate, ensuring that the thirty-second notes commencing from measure 29 in the latter half are neither difficult to perceive nor to execute. These thirty-second notes in the latter half should be rendered not aggressively, but rather with a sense of elegance and style.

Regarding the dynamic balance among the three note values (quarter notes, eighth notes, and sixteenth notes): it is recommended to decrease the volume as the note value becomes finer. This approach allows the sustained notes of larger values to project with clarity. Conversely, playing notes of smaller values too loudly will obscure the sustain of notes with larger values.
