Die Kunst der Fuge

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Raschèr Saxophone Quartet & Carsten Klomp

Die Kunst der Fuge is a late instrumental composition by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. The work is a systematic exploration of contrapuntal technique, comprising a sequence of fugues and canons built on a single principal theme and reflecting Bach's late-career engagement with Baroque counterpoint and theoretical demonstration.
