Description:
One of the most complex four-part fugues from J.S. Bach’s monumental "The Art of Fugue", "Contrapunctus VII" is a stunning demonstration of contrapuntal mastery. Bach guides the main theme through all the techniques of fugue composition—inversion, augmentation, diminution, and close interval—and layers it upon itself in ever-changing combinations of tempo and direction. The result is a dense yet thrilling tapestry of sound in which the voices seem to relentlessly pursue, overlap, and respond to one another. Transposed into the rich, warm timbres of a euphonium-tuba quartet, this magnificent fugue gains new depth and resonance, with the low brass instruments lending Bach’s architecture a very special weight and splendor. A challenging and rewarding work that is as fascinating to play as it is to hear.
