🇩🇪Johann Sebastian Bach ： Fuge e-moll BWV 960

This fugue unfolds as multiple independent voices exchange the subject and carry the music forward. In the opening statement of the subject, listen for the outline of each voice; then, by focusing on the responses and their combinations with the countersubjects, the tightly woven contrapuntal structure becomes clear. Where the voices overlap, it is important to keep the subject distinct while ensuring that the other melodic lines do not disappear. Careful fingering, singing each voice, and restrained use of the pedal help clarify the individual lines and rhythm, resulting in a poised performance with a flowing sense of direction.
