[ Bach – “Toccata & Fugue In D Minor“, BWV 565 ] Johann Sebastian Bach – Toccata & Fugue In D Minor, BWV 565 (Seiji Ozawa: Boston Symphony Orchestra) The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, is a composition for organ by, according to the oldest sources, German composer Johann Sebastian Bach and is one of the most widely recognisable works in the organ repertoire. Although the date of its origin is unknown, scholars have suggested between 1704 and the 1750s. The piece opens with a toccata section followed by a fugue that ends in a coda, and is largely typical of the north German organ school of the Baroque era. |
