J.S. Bach‘s ‘Art of Fugue‘ on viols

The Smithsonian Consort of Viols: Chelsea Bernstein, Cat Slowik, Kenneth Slowik, and Arnie Tanimoto.

​

Johann Sebastian Bach’s final composition demonstrates his complete mastery of musical counterpoint in all its variety. Bach did not specify any particular instruments for these works, so many arrangements have been created and performed. Here, we will have excerpts from Bach’s work arranged for four-part viol consort by the performers.
