The Art of Fugue: Emblematic Structure and Content : A session with Ruth Tatlow and Kevin Korsyn

• The focus of this session is the unfinished movement of The Art of Fugue. Tatlow will look at the problem through the lens of proportional parallelism and propose a parallel conceit that may have been part of Bach’s original plan. Korsyn will engage more actively with issues of musical craft and contrapuntal technique, reconstructing a plausible ending for the final fugue. The process will take us into the heart of Bach’s fugal aesthetic, raising many new questions and offering new insights into the nature of Bach’s late style and his fugal writing.
