J. S. Bach Art Of The Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Государственный академический камерный оркестр России & Rudolf Barshai

The Art of Fugue is a collection of contrapuntal compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed during the 1740s and left unfinished at his death in 1750. Written in rigorous counterpoint, the work systematically explores a single principal theme through a series of fugues and canons and serves as a late-career summation of Bach's contrapuntal practice with lasting significance in the study of counterpoint and Western art music.
