Description
Bearing the "Anh." (Anhang, or appendix) designation in the BWV catalog, this is one of the keyboard fugues whose authorship or transmission history is not fully settled. Set in the calm sonority of B-flat major, it presents a single-subject fugue in compact form, making it well suited to basic contrapuntal study.
Contrapuntal works influenced by Bach, where each composer's individuality shines through a strict formal structure.
