Notes on The Art of Fugue for concert band.

By 1750, fugue writing had gone out of style and The Art of Fugue did not receive the commercial success that his family had hoped. Nevertheless, the Art of Fugue took the idea of contrapuntal design to a new level and represents the work of a seasoned composer at the height of his artistic and intellectual genius. Never before nor hence has there been such a fusion of beauty and logic in the exploration of the principles of counterpoint.

You may purchase the entire Art of Fugue collection at once, the individual fugues (called Contrapunctus) separately or the canons as a separate set.
