Die Kunst der Fuge

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Liszt Ferenc Kamarazenekar & János Rolla

Die Kunst der Fuge is a collection of contrapuntal pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. The work systematically explores fugal and canonic techniques around a single principal subject, written in open score for unspecified instrumentation, and constitutes one of Bach's late, rigorous studies in counterpoint that has been widely studied in theory and composition.
First released: 1985
