Who's behind the notes? Discover Johann Sebastian Bach: Master of Baroque Music
Fugue in G major, BWV 576, is a spirited organ work once attributed to J.S. Bach but whose authorship remains disputed among musicologists. Despite doubts, it exhibits fine Baroque counterpoint with a lively main theme that undergoes extensive development. The fugue features a substantial structure lasting 5-6 minutes and concludes with a dramatic cadenza-like passage leading to a triumphant final statement of the theme.
