Contrapunctus XII from "The Art of Fugue" for Brass Quintet

SKU: CY.CC2680

J. S. Bach's massive work, The Art of Fugue, is a summation of his powers as a composer of contrapuntal music. Each fugue is a masterpiece in its own right.

Number Twelve is a four-voice, mirror fugue in 3/2 meter�the only fugue in this meter. It uses the original Art of Fugue theme in the Rectus and then all the voices are turned upside down in the Inversus. About 5 minutes in length.
