The Art of Fugue / Musical Offering

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

The Art of Fugue / Musical Offering is a compilation of contrapuntal works by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the 1740s and associated with the final phase of his compositional output. Both works exemplify late-Baroque counterpoint and explore fugue, canon and complex voice-leading, reflecting Bach's theoretical investigations and his focus on structural and contrapuntal technique in his late career.
