The Art of Fugue

Album by Johann Sebastian Bach & Rachel Podger & Brecon Baroque & Johannes Pramsohler & Jane Rogers & Alison McGillivray & Marcin Świątkiewicz

The Art of Fugue is a collection of fugues and canons by Johann Sebastian Bach, composed in the late 1740s and published posthumously in 1751. The work systematically explores contrapuntal techniques built on a single principal subject, exemplifying Bach's late-career engagement with advanced counterpoint and occupying a significant place in the history of Baroque compositional practice.
