Die Kunst der Fuge

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Juilliard String Quartet

Die Kunst der Fuge is a musical work by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. The work consists of a series of fugues and canons built on a common subject, exemplifying complex contrapuntal technique and late-Baroque polyphonic practice, and represents a culminating statement in Bach's contrapuntal output and an important work in the history of Western counterpoint.
