BWV 871/2: Fugue 2 in C minor

(c) Yo Tomita, 1997

Early Version (ca.1738)

Bach's autograph is lost, but this early version is known through the copy (P 595) made by J. F. Agricola, who began his study with Bach on that year.

I have left potential errors by Agricola in this MIDI reconstruction .

Final Version (1739)

No autograph survives. The 'London autograph' is a copy made by Anna Magdalena .

Mozart's arrangement (c.1782)

This is the first of the five 4-part fugues arranged by Mozart (KV 405). Being the first, Mozart supplied articulations (mainly slurs and staccati) in meticulous details. . [added: 6 August 1998]
