The Art of Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Fretwork

The Art of Fugue is a late collection of contrapuntal works by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled around 1750 and left unfinished at his death. The composition systematically explores strict counterpoint and fugal technique built on a single principal theme, representing a late-career summation of Bach's contrapuntal practice and a key work in the study of Baroque counterpoint.
