Bach's Art Of Fugue represents one of the peaks of the prolific and remarkable composer's career by formulating and defining this quintessential Baroque compositional form. Written in undefined score the music was initially regarded more as an elegant and substantial theoretical achievement that requires a high level of virtuosity to perform at the keyboard. Over the years the set of pieces has been reinterpreted by all manner of instrument groups and ensembles and remains a unique challenge to the advanced Keyboard-instrument performer.This item is the authoritative Hawkes Pocket Score edition.
