About

Notated on four staves, as though intended for some unspecified set of instruments (or even voices or keyboard?), these thirteen erudite contrapuncti, four canons, and an unfinished triple fugue - incorporating the letters of Bach’s name - are often considered to be his musical testament.

Shrouded in myths traceable to its very origins, The Art of Fugue is a puzzle for the performers and for the listeners alike, but when a brilliant string quartet takes up the challenge, a solution becomes obvious, and the music takes flight.
