Bach - Contrapunctus IV from “The Art of Fugue” for Brass QuintetJ. S. Bachs massive work, The Art of Fugue, is a summation of his powers as a composer of contrapuntal music. Each Fugue is a masterpiece in its own right. Contrapunctus IV is a four voice Fugue that uses an inverted form of the original theme (as in Contrapunctus III) with a falling third as a countersubject. This piece is approximately five minutes in length. Free pdf Sample
