good article on The Art of the Fugue

[Hero1000]

How did one of the most esoteric musical works ever written become a hit on the classical charts?

Good article... nice to see something like that at the top of the charts instead of Josh Groban's dreck.

Every so often, the two of you come up with something I agree with. The rest of the time, you're both fucking spaztic. But I agree: Bach's Art of Fugue (BWV 1058, IIRC) is a wonderful set of pieces that should have more recognition by the mainstream world.
At some point in the future, I'd like to set its entirety to Clarinet and/or Saxophone Choir (I note there's already a Sax Quartet version out-- I want the full spectrum of saxes, not the Standard Four).
