Description
Uniquely complex in both form and structure, this work by J. S. Bach is regarded as a pinnacle of Western music. No composer possessed a greater understanding of the workings of counterpoint than Bach. In The Art of the Fugue, he summarizes counterpoint's entire known potential by using a very simple theme in the most complex possible ways.This work proved to be Bach's last, and the composer left the nature of its instrumentation undocumented. Despite numerous popular interpretations — including harpsichord, organ, string quartet, and orchestra — speculation persists that Bach intended it purely as an elaborate intellectual exercise. C. P. E. Bach declared its primary value as that of a teaching aid and a guide to composition. This solo keyboard edition was edited by Carl Czerny, a student of Beethoven and teacher of Liszt, who wrote hundreds of piano études that remain staples of piano training today. Modern pianists will find Czerny's edition of this classic a source of unfailing variety and limitless imagination.

This set of sheet music for Bach's 'The Art of The Fugue', BWV 1080 is on large pages which are 9" x 12" along with very defined print; the notes are easily read, so practicing this unbelievably complicated set of counterpoint themes is at least made easy on the eyes. I chose this volume particularly because it was edited for the solo piano by Czerny, reducing the effort of sight reading the original score that can be found on IMSLP.I have about 4 different editor editions of this score in pdf format and finally caved in to have this beautifully produced score ready for my keyboard without the aid of a computer screen. It is also used as the source of a pianist playing it on YouTube. It finally comes down to wanting a hard copy of one of the most outstanding, complicated, and robust formats of Western classical music in counterpoint. No pianist's library is complete without this and I cannot resist just spending the rest of my musical practice years on this book.It is a pleasure to open the pages and see the score so finely printed, and so wonderful to see that first 4 voice fugue's starting stanzas just waiting for my interpretation on the keyboard. I hope others will also add this book to their library of great music and read it like you would a newspaper, or feel the notes pass by when reading it while listening to a keyboard playing 'The Art of The Fugue'.
