@pbazant Yeah the Musical Offering is another astounding piece of absolute music by the late Bach. The 2 Ricercare are overwhelming. Have u ever heard the AoF played by the Italian Quartet?

@vinciano While reading your comment, I was about to suggest you to take Beethoven's Grosse Fuge into consideration, but, mentioning it as your second favourite, you are obviously well aware of it's qualities :-) For me, it is a tie between Grosse Fuge, AoF and Musical Offering.

Weel i consider the final work of Bach the greatest masterpiece in history of music. I listened to Bach Mass and Passion, Mozart's Nozze and Don, Beethoven Ninth and op. 133, Wagner Tristan and Strauss Metamorphosen (all absolute masterpieces) but i can't find a work of this scope and genius. My second favourite work is the Grosse Fugue by Beethoven, then come St MAtthew Passion and Tristan.

Doug Hofstadter introduced me to Art of the Fugue many years ago. He introduced many people to this piece.
I once had a recording of it by the Los Angeles Saxophone Quartet. Does anyone have that recording?

@ax2mix1
This piece can begin, end, accompany you or whatever you want during any time of the day! Bach is 24/7, no problem! ;)
