Fugue and the art of counterpoint are oftenalmost bywords for Bach the composer.Certainly, from the viewpoint of many latergenerations, he was the first composerto make fugue the basis for a whole andcomplete piece of music, one that oftenseemed to serve no purpose beyond the‘purely musical’. In a sense, this mustsurely be right: while there are countlessfugal compositions before Bach, very fewshare the same relentless, yet expressive,cohesion, and most that were written outsidethe keyboard sphere were associatedwith a text and liturgical function. There issomething about Bach’s fugal compositionthat immediately places it at the service ofcomposers such as Mozart, Beethoven,Brahms and Schoenberg. For them, earliercounterpoint in the Renaissance traditionprovided more a model for refined techniquethan for an overriding nexus of musicallycohering ideas.
