Great Fantasia and Fugue (BWV 542)

Welcome to season 5 of A Moment of Bach!

We kick off the season with a suggestion from Charles Raasch -- the Great Fantasia and Fugue.  Does Bach know where he's going with this one?  Of course he does, but, it's still fun to get lost in the music.  Come with us as we wander into the complex harmonies, built mostly on fully-diminished dissonances, until Bach finally leads us home to a supremely sonorous G major ending.
