Description

A three-voice fugue whose counterpoint strongly reflects Bach's influence. Within the calm sonority of E-flat major, the voices interweave carefully, and Mozart's characteristic melodic grace peeks through the strictness. At about two and a half minutes, it requires clear differentiation between the voices.

Contrapuntal works influenced by Bach, where each composer's individuality shines through a strict formal structure.
