A lively Baroque fugue by J.S. Bach, likely intended for organ but often adapted for piano.
Characterized by its dance-like rhythm and intricate counterpoint, typical of Bach's keyboard works.
This fugue, known for its lively rhythm resembling a gigue, showcases Bach’s mastery of counterpoint. It is often associated with organ repertoire and reflects the Baroque era’s intricate compositional style.
While some scholars have questioned its authenticity due to stylistic differences from Bach's other fugues, the Fugue in G Major (BWV 577) is widely accepted as part of his repertoire. Its lively gigue rhythm and technical demands reflect both Baroque conventions and Bach's innovative keyboard writing.
Composed during the Baroque period, this lively fugue in G major showcases Bach's mastery of counterpoint. Its delayed 1881 publication suggests it may have been preserved through manuscript copies before gaining wider recognition in the Romantic era.
