Instead of introducing a completely new topic, in this video we will take a close look at a particular fugue in order to see how the techniques from previous videos are put into practice by a master composer. As the very first fugue in the first book of the Well-Tempered Clavier, J.S. Bach's Fugue in C major, BWV 846 is something of a poster child for the rest of the set. It is a "simple fugue," in that the subject is not accompanied by a recurring countersubject. There simply wouldn't be room for one anyway; Bach uses a staggering number of strettos in this fugue, which gives the piece its unique character.
