Johann Sebastian Bach
Die Kunst der Fuge ( The Art of Fugue ) BWV 1080
Complete on Organ - Herbert Tachezi

Die Kunst der Fuge ( The Art of Fugue ), BWV 1080, is an incomplete masterpiece by Johann Sebastian Bach ( 1685 -1750 ). The work was most likely started at the beginning of the 1740s, if not earlier.

The first known surviving version, which contained 12 fugues and 2 canons, was copied by the composer in 1745. This manuscript has a slightly different title, added afterwards by his son-in-law Johann Christoph Altnickol : Die Kunst der Fuga.

Bach's second version was published in 1751 after his death. It contains 14 fugues and 4 canons.

"The governing idea of the work", as the Bach specialist Christoph Wolff put it, is "an exploration in depth of the contrapuntal possibilities inherent in a single musical subject."
