Die Kunst der Fuge BWV 1080

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Grigory Sokolov

Die Kunst der Fuge (BWV 1080) is a collection of contrapuntal compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. The work systematically develops a single principal subject across a series of fugues and canons, exemplifying late Baroque counterpoint and representing Bach's theoretical and compositional exploration at the close of his life.
