J.S.Bach - The Art of Fugue - for Orchestra

[gprengel]

The greatest fugues ever written for me are the Et Vitam Venturi Fugue from the Missa Solemnis and the final unfinished Fugue from Bach's "Kunst der Fuge".

I love the "Kunst der Fuge" for piano and for string quartett, but the majestic final Fugue, I think, should be played by a classic orchestra. At YouTube I found an orchestra version but I didn't like it at all. So I tried to do it myself and here is the result:

I always enjoy your orchestrations, gprengel.

I have the Art of Fugue for string quartet which naturally works well. You have a great natural talent for orchestration!
