About 'Contrapunctus 1 from Art of Fugue'

Artist:

J.S.Bach (

biography)

Born:

21 March 1685 , Eisenach

Died:

28 July 1750 , Leipzig

The Artist:

One of the greatest composers of all time. Bach wrote hundreds of pieces for organ, choir, as well as many other instruments. He spent most of his life as a church organist and a choir director. His music combines profound expression with clever musico-mathematical feats, like fugues and canons in which the same melody is played against itself in various ways.

Composed:

1748-9

Info:

The Art of Fugue (Die Kunst Der Fuge) BWV 1080 contains fourteen fugues and four canons demonstrating Bach's complete mastery of the most complex musical counterpoint.
