	Fugue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In music, a fugue is a type of piece written in counterpoint for several independent musical voices.
		A widespread view of the fugue is that it is not a musical form (in the sense that, say, sonata form is) but rather a technique of composition.
		It was in the Baroque period that the writing of fugues became central to composition, in part as a demonstration of compositional expertise.

	Theory Of Music - Music Encyclopedia
		Fugue is in a sense the culmination of all the contrapuntal art of centuries, and holds a most important place among musical forms, whether considered historically or from the standpoint only of a finished product of art.
		Music to be performed by one voice or by an instrument which is capable of giving but one tone at a time is written as a melody.
		The genius of poet, of musical composer, of instrumental performer, of impersonator, who is both actor and singer, of costumer and scene-maker, are all combined to produce an opera, and while the work of each is not equally important, each is quite necessary to a successful performance.

		As a general introduction it is great and very educational--the art of fugue is played on various instruments to drive home the fact that the music was never scored for specific instruments.
		In his last years, J.S. Bach wrote much of his music for the sheer joy of creating mathematically delightful pieces, hence the endless variations and inversions of the themes from "Art of the Fugue" and "Musical Offering." Some evidence suggests that J.S.B. didn't care too much whether or not the music was, in fact, performed.

		This full-bodied sound is at its best on the pieces played on the Silbermann and Great Silbermann organs, which have a strikingly powerful sound that one might almost expect of an orchestra's brass section.
		The one real drawback to this compilation, and why I couldn't award this album a full 5 stars despite the excellence of its other parts, was the two choral preludes.
		Although the same organ was used successfully in the first "Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor" (perhaps Bach's MOST famous organ work), during the preludes, one of the organ's stops produces a noise that is best likened to the several electric razors tuned to musical notes...a prelude in Buzz-major, if you like.
