Each of the 14 separate fugues in the "Art of the Fugue" is based on the same short melody. It appears as if Bach is obsessed with how many ways he can create a fugue using the same tune.
It is also interesting that no particular instrumentation is specified. This music can be played by any combination of instruments. It seems that Bach has written The Art of the Fugue as an intellectual exercise, yet one that sets the very highest musical standards for what a fugue can be.
Music: Art of the Fugue – 9
Composer: J.S. Bach
Performers: The Emerson String Quartet
