J.S. Bach - Contrapunctus XIV - Completion by Yngve Jan Trede (1995)

At 384 bars, German-born Danish composer Yngve Jan Trede’s 1995 realization of Contrapunctus XIV is one of the longest completions to date of the final unfinished fugue of Bach’s compositional cycle “Die Kunst der Fuge“ (The Art of Fugue). “Tredes’ completion may be regarded as the most successful of all hitherto published, especially in stylistic terms [...]“ - Thomas Daniel (Bachs unvollendete Quadrupelfuge aus “Die Kunst der Fuge“) This is also one of the few completions that includes the simultaneous inversion of all four subjects (at bar 364), alongside Donald Tovey and Michael Ferguson’s.
