The leading Bach scholar Dr Richard Jones has re-examined the principal sources of this key work from Bach's final decade. Die Kunst der Fuge was left unfinished at the composer's death and deemed by many to be 'problematic'. It has also long been considered a non-keyboard work. In this new edition, however, the two-stave keyboard layout makes the work accessible to mordern players and students. It is also enhanced by the editor's extensive analytical and performance notes. This publication includes a recording of Richard Jones's edition on CD, performed on the harpsichord by Davitt Moroney.
