The 4th Fugue in The Art of Fugue: Where is the golden section? Exchanging the Dux and the Comes
The WTF Bach Podcast - A podcast by WTF Bach
The final piece in the first 'quartet' of fugues from "The Art of Fugue" by J.S. Bach: Contrapunctus 4. With this episode we have covered all of the 'simple fugues' in this sprawling work. Topics covered: A blind organist from Leipzig... Helmut who? The official Latin terms for the first two entering voices. A fugue made entirely of a subject and a two-note motif? What on earth is a golden section and how does one go about finding one?
