Great Fugues For Organ: Works By Bach, Buxtehude, Brahms, Schubert And Others (Dover Music For Organ)

A style that relies upon counterpoint, or the interplay of two or more motifs, the fugue has captivated listeners for centuries. Assembled by noted organ scholar and performer Rollin Smith, here is a sampling of the world's most magnificent fugues for organ from the genre's most gifted masters. This original collection features a vast repertoire of pieces from the fugue's heyday in the Baroque period, as well as other important eras. An essential compendium for musicians, music students and teachers.
