No problem. It's very noticeable right from the start of the BWV 565
Fugue, particularly so with Julia Brown's performance. Other good
examples are Bach's Fugue in G minor BWV 578(first section), and the
Prelude and Fugue BWV 544. Of course, its prevalence all depends on
the interpretation, and Brown is one who maximizes the effect in a very
muscular fashion.
Again, I do recommend Brown's disc very much. After reading Bitta's
posting, I played the recording once more and continue to be impressed.
