The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Les inAttendus & Vincent Lhermet & Marianne Muller & Alice Piérot

The Art of Fugue, BWV 1080 is a late contrapuntal composition by Johann Sebastian Bach, published posthumously in 1751. Musically it is a sequence of fugues and canons built on a single subject that uses dense counterpoint, inversion and stretto, and it comes from the final period of Bach's life when he focused on contrapuntal craft.
