Bach – Contrapunctus 8 | The First Triple Fugue (Art of Fugue, Ep. 9)

Johann Sebastian Bach’s Art of Fugue reaches a decisive turning point in Contrapunctus 8, the first triple fugue of the cycle. Here, Bach introduces three independent subjects, each established in turn before being combined with extraordinary control and clarity. Conceived as a complementary work to Contrapunctus 11, this fugue stands at the threshold between the earlier contrapuncti and the increasingly monumental designs that follow. This performance is played on a full, assertive organ registration, allowing the weight, architectural clarity, and inevitability of Bach’s counterpoint to emerge with uncompromising force. This video forms Episode 9 in a complete exploration of The Art of Fugue, recorded as part of an ongoing series.
