The Art of Fugue (BWV 1080): Contrapunctus I

After writing the Goldberg Variations, what was left to write?  Welcome back to A Moment of Bach! We embark on our third season by celebrating the recent release of the Netherlands Bach Society's "Die Kunst der Fuge" -- a brilliant new arrangement of the towering masterwork. The expressive and unusual instrumentation makes this recording unlike any other.   Die Kunst der Fuge BWV 1080 by the Netherlands Bach Society, arr. Shunske Sato PATREON -- a new opportunity to donate to A Moment of Bach -- always optional, always appreciated!  Stefano Greco lecture including a new theory on the order of the parts of the Art of Fugue

Join hosts Alex Guebert and Christian Guebert for weekly moments! Check your podcast app and subscribe for upcoming episodes. Our recording samples are provided by the Netherlands Bach Society. Their monumental All of Bach project (to perform and record all of the works of J. S. Bach) will serve as source material for our episodes. https://www.bachvereniging.nl/en https://www.bachvereniging.nl/en/allofbach Artwork by Sydney LaCom
