Musikalisches Opfer, BWV 1079

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

Musikalisches Opfer, BWV 1079 is a collection of contrapuntal works composed by Johann Sebastian Bach in 1747. Centred on intricate canons and a trio sonata derived from a single theme, the work exemplifies late-Baroque counterpoint and represents a late-career exploration of fugal and canonic techniques within Bach's oeuvre.
