Art of Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Vladimir Feltsman

The Art of Fugue is a collection of contrapuntal works by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. The work systematically explores fugal counterpoint using a single principal subject across increasingly complex fugues and canons, and it represents a late-career summation of Bach's contrapuntal technique with significant bearing on keyboard repertoire and theoretical study.
