The authenticity of the work has been doubted, as has that of the Allabreve in D major, BWV 589. These are, nevertheless, compositions of interest, the Allabreve a model of contrapuntal construction, with its opening subject, in the top voice, accompanied by the alto with the second part of that subject. In the duple meter implied in its title, the Allabreve comes to an end over a prolonged tonic pedal-point, after varied use of stretto, as entries of the subject are made to overlap.
