Bach’s Most Ingenious Fugue (WTC II) | Music That Thinks for Itself

Johann Sebastian Bach – Fugue in A♭ major, BWV 886
from The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book II (1742)
Performed on the organ of Trinity College Cambridge by Robert Costin

✨ Why it’s Bach’s Most Ingenious
This fugue is one of Bach’s most astonishing creations — music that seems to think and breathe on its own.
Each of the three voices moves with perfect independence, yet together they form a living tapestry of harmony and design.
Bach turns pure logic into beauty, as if thought itself were transformed into sound.
It’s music that feels at once human and divine — endlessly inventive, endlessly alive.
