The fugue is pure Bach, there is no Mozart's touch or arrangement on it. Tidak ada sedikitpun aransemen Mozart di dalamnya . Why did Mozart copy the Bach's work and put it as his work?

[bartje11]

@ilorts Because it was an exercise. By copying Bach's work Mozart learned and internalized Bach's technique. Mozart himself didn't necessarily put his name on it. We don't even know if it ever was performed in public during his lifetime..It must have been found lying around, like so many other pieces after his death.

Wow Mozart lives forever!!!!

Most people don't realize that Mozart was one of the most progressive composers of his day. People only hear clarity and grace, without noticing the hidden sophistication, richness and complexity of his music. Some of his more dissonant bars, still sound fresh and modern to this day.
