The Art of the Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Glenn Gould

The Art of the Fugue is a collection of contrapuntal works by Johann Sebastian Bach, compiled and published posthumously in 1751. The composition systematically develops a single principal subject through a sequence of contrapuntal forms and techniques, representing a culmination of Bach's late counterpoint and occupying an important place in the history of Western polyphony.
