Description:
Much has been speculated on the instrumentation of this contrapuntal masterpiece since Bach's death. For a long time, the fragmentary work was regarded as a piano work but since the early 20th century musicians have experimented with various instrumentations. This arrangement by Hans-Eberhard Dentler, who has done scientific research on the Art of Fugue for decades, does without any kind of transposition due to the choice of instruments and ensures the best possible transparency and faithfulness to the score due to the soloistic rendering of the individual parts: The combination of bassoon and double-bass as well as the assignment of the violoncello to the tenor part are the key to the faithful reproduction of all tones without any intervention of the arranger.
