This bright and rapid fugue was composed by J.S. Bach as part of the "Clavier-Büchlein" (Little Keyboard Book) he began in 1720 for the musical instruction of his eldest son, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. Despite its brevity (typically lasting just over a minute), it is a masterful contrapuntal work built on a persistent four-note motif, showcasing the technical skill expected of the young Friedemann.
