Die Kunst der Fuge, BWV 1080

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Robert Hill

Die Kunst der Fuge, BWV 1080 is a collection of contrapuntal pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed around 1740 to 1750 and left unfinished at his death in 1750. The work is in strict counterpoint and uses fugue forms and canons built on a single thematic subject, and it was written near the end of Bach's life as a study of contrapuntal technique and form.
