A word on the Piece
The Art of Fugue or The Art of the Fugue (original German: Die Kunst der Fuge), BWV 1080, is an unfinished work by the German composer Johann Sebastian BACH. The work was probably started in 1742. Bach's first version, which contained 12 fugues and 2 canons, was copied in 1745. This manuscript has a slightly different title, added afterwards by his son-in-law Altnickol: Die Kunst der Fuga. His second version was published after his death in 1750. It contains fourteen fugues and four canons. The Art of Fugue is one of the most complex works ever penned by Bach and is considered a crowning achievement of western art.Each of the fugues except the final unfinished one use the same simple subject in D minor:
