You're giving a whole opus to a single prelude?
I know how you love 200 year old practices, so follow the 200 year old (and still current) practice of giving an opus number to a substantial work - a set of all 8 preludes might get an opus number. Look at Mozart - some of his opera (plural of opus) consist of six string quartets! Or three full concertos!

Anyway I have some musical coments about the various preludes (the same stuff as usual), but I doubt you even want to hear criticism.
Here's the brief: You have a fairly good ear for making a piece and being vaguely stylistic. Your harmony and voice leading needs a lot of work. You still haven't learnt to avoid parallel octaves, and it seems you don't think what harmony will result from what the two voices are doing.
Anyway, get a book on harmony and a teacher! (And counterpoint).
You do have some good ideas, and the pieces are improving.

I'm not a composer, but as a casual listener it sounds fine to me.

I thought the bass cleff moved a bit along with the treble cleff a bit too much at times..made it sound almost distorted at times. But that's the only thing I have to complain about, it sounds very baroque..and very enjoyable as well.
