The Art of Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Angela Hewitt

The Art of Fugue is a collection of contrapuntal pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. It is written in strict counterpoint and explores a single fugal subject through increasingly complex contrapuntal treatments, and it is among Bach's late works that show his focus on baroque counterpoint and compositional technique.
