The Art of Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Gustav Leonhardt

The Art of Fugue is a musical composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. It is a set of contrapuntal fugues and canons in a late Baroque style, and it is one of Bach's final works that focuses on the systematic use of a single theme to explore counterpoint.
