Score

Fugue in D majorBWV 850

Johann Sebastian Bach

  • Difficulty 5
  • D major
  • 2 min
  • 27 measures

The D major fugue from Book I of The Well-Tempered Clavier. Four voices take up a stately subject in the manner of a French overture: a rushing run of thirty-second notes, then sharply dotted rhythms. It closes on a held D major chord. This edition follows Franz Kroll's Bach-Gesellschaft edition of 1866.
