Bach's masterpiece The Art of Fugue is an enormously complicated and genius musical composition, which arguably represents the very pinnacle of Baroque fugue works. It gives us Bach exploring and pushing the limits of harmonic contrapuntal relationships. Counterpoints in this piece are in double, triple, mirrored (contrapunctus XII and XIII), and quadruple in his last unfinished fugue of the piece, Countrpunctus XIV. There are also 4 cannons in this piece.
