The C-sharp major fugue from Book I of The Well-Tempered Clavier, written in a key of seven sharps. Three voices take up a bright subject in common time and pass it between the hands, and after 55 bars the piece closes under fermatas on a C-sharp major chord. This edition follows Franz Kroll's Bach-Gesellschaft edition of 1866.
