Fugue 2, Op. 60 Click to Listen [6:4]
The second of six fugues written on the name of Bach (B-A-C-H, in modern notation Bb-A-C-B) which Bach himself used "The Art of the Fugue." An homage to Bach's famous Fugue in D minor (BWV 565) may have been intended in the second part of the fugue subject here. The tempo marking is "Lebhaft" ("Lively"). Instrument: F. X. Engelfried Organ, Gönningen/Baden-Württemberg/Germany (1844) - Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier
