Summary

Fugue for J S Bach was a natural language; he wrote fugues in organ toccatas and voluntaries, in masses and motets, in orchestral and chamber music, and even in his sonatas for violin solo. In a series of essays, the author discusses his favorite Bach keyboard fugues - some of them among the best-known fugues and others much less familiar.
