Musikalisches Opfer, BWV 1079

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Ton Koopman

Musikalisches Opfer (Musical Offering), BWV 1079, is a collection of instrumental pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in 1747. Rooted in Baroque counterpoint, the collection comprises canons, fugues and a three-part sonata built around a single theme presented at the Prussian court, reflecting Bach's late-career engagement with intricate contrapuntal technique and compositional method.
