This volume features the complete score of J. S. Bach's Die Kunst
der Fuge (The Art of Fugue) in the edition prepared by Donald
Francis Tovey. Originally published by Oxford University Press in
1931, Tovey's edition presents the fourteen fugues plus the four
canons in open score, allowing readers to follow each individual
voice. Furthermore, Tovey completed the unfinished final fugue,
reintroducing the principal theme of the work's opening fugue to
create a quadruple fugue.
In addition to the complete score, this edition features Tovey's
extended commentary on each of the fugues. Entitled ACompanion to
The Art of Fugue, Tovey's commentary was originally published
separately from the score; this edition includes the commentary
within the same volume as the music. The commentary outlines the
contrapuntal devices employed in each of the fugues as well as keen
observations on Bach's technical craftsmanship. In addition, Tovey
offers insights into the performance of these fugues and
suggestions for their programming. Pianists, organists, and all
lovers of chamber and Baroque music will appreciate this
inexpensive single-volume edition of one of Bach's finest works and
a classic commentary.
