      Bach Composition Written for No Particicular Instrument:

            The Art of Fugue (or The Art of the Fugue; German: Die Kunst der Fuge), BWV 1080,
            is an incomplete musical work of unspecified instrumentation.  Written in the last
            decade of his life, The Art of Fugue is the culmination of Bach's experimentation
            with monothematic instrumental works.

            This work consists of 14 fugues and 4 canons in D minor, each using some variation
            of a single principal subject, and generally ordered to increase in complexity.  Bach
            specialist Christoph Wolff wrote that the governing idea of the work "was an 
            exploration in depth of the contrapuntal possibilities inherent in a single musical
            subject."  The word "contrapunctus" is often used for each fugue.
