"The governing idea of the work is an exploration in depth of the contrapuntal possibilities inherent in a single musical subject."
- Christoph Wolff, eminent Bach specialist.
"The Art of Fugue is the last of Bach's great monothematic cycles. Often characterized as the "greatest," such a designation demeans aspects of monothematicism unique to the other three: the Musical Offering, Goldberg Variations, and canonic variations on Vom Himmel hoch. Whereas the Art of Fugue manifests its greatness in thematic transformation and fugue, the Musical Offering and Vom Himmel hoch demonstrate the rigors of canon, while the Goldberg develops a variety of keyboard styles unified by two-part form and bass line."
- Sojurn
