Description
A fugue from the period when Mozart was immersing himself in Baroque counterpoint. Within the subdued colors of G minor, the subject is passed tightly between voices. At about two minutes, it demands focus on keeping each voice independently audible, making it useful for studying counterpoint.
Contrapuntal works influenced by Bach, where each composer's individuality shines through a strict formal structure.
