Admiral of Fugues
Of course BWV 565 is so well known that scarely a person in the west wouldn't be able to say he/she'd not heard it.
But, is it really Bach?
I heard an interesting discussion about the work and there are two schools of thought, both poles apart, obvious one in favour of good ol' Johann Sebastian and one in favour of another (suggests including, but not limited to, Krebs).
The more I listen to Bach's organ music the more this work, for me, stands out apart from the rest in a very indescribable way. There's something stagnant about his harmonic richness that's almost never apparent in his other great organ works ... it's my humble opinion of course and I don't give a tincker's cuss if you disagree. Simply a point of dicussion.
