Art of the Fugue by Johann Sebastian Bach String Quartet - Sheet Music

By Johann Sebastian Bach

Bach's Art of the Fugue, his final work, is a summation of his contrapuntal technique that has dazzled musicians and been the subject of endless debate over its purpose and the medium for which it was intended. Though most scholars today believe it was intended as a work for keyboard performance, not merely a theoretical work, many composers and musicians have adapted the astonishing collection of fugues (contrapuncti) and canons to miscellaneous collections of instruments. This fine edition has expertly arranged the music for string quartet, providing string players who wish to become familiar with the music firsthand, a wonderful way in which to do so.

A well made, clear set of parts

A brilliant arrangement/edition of Art of the Fugue, parts are presented clearly and are easy to read. Marked above certain sections of the music are markings that indicate who is playing the subject, which is incredibly helpful, especially when learning it for the first time.
