Die Kunst der Fuge

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Kenneth Gilbert

Die Kunst der Fuge is a late contrapuntal composition by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. The work consists of a series of interrelated fugues and canons on a single theme that exemplify Bach's late Baroque contrapuntal technique with dense polyphony and an abstract, scholarly presentation, and it appears among his final compositions as a concentrated study of fugal form in music history.
