Die Kunst der Fuge (L'art de la fugue)

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Cédric Pescia

Die Kunst der Fuge (L'art de la fugue) is a late contrapuntal composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. Written as an exploration of contrapuntal technique, the work systematically develops a principal subject through a sequence of fugues and canons that exemplify Baroque counterpoint and occupies a distinctive place at the end of Bach's career, being left incomplete at his death.
