Artist(s):
Pieter Dirksen

Background: This recording is an attempt to revive the earliest and perhaps most unified version of Bach's last major harpsichord work, the Art of Fugue. It is based upon a reconstruction of a twelve-part version from 1742 by Pieter Dirksen. This version is much more a concert cycle than the printed version, which has more the character of a rationally ordered fugue compendium with little regard towards cyclic performance.

The performance time needed for the 'dynamic' early version is moreover much shorter than the 'static' printed version. The version presented here is hypothetical in character, offering nonetheless new and fascinating perspectives.
