Fugue in G minor,BWV 578, (popularly known as theLittle Fugue), is a piece oforgan music written byJohann Sebastian Bach during his years atArnstadt (1703–1707). It is one of Bach's best knownfugues and has beenarranged for other voices, including an orchestral version byLeopold Stokowski.^[1]

Early editors of Bach's work attached the title of "Little Fugue" to distinguish it from the laterGreat Fantasia and Fugue in G minor, BWV 542, which is longer in duration and more challenging to play.

Score

[edit]

The fugue's theme (or subject), presented in musical notation of its first 4 1/2 bars — Theme

The fugue's four-and-a-halfmeasure subject inG minor is one of Bach's most recognizable tunes. The fugue is in four voices. During the episodes, Bach uses one ofArcangelo Corelli's most famous techniques: imitation between two voices on aneighth note upbeat figure that first leaps up afourth and then falls back down onestep at a time.^[2]

In other music

[edit]

Swedishheavy metal bandSabaton uses the beginning of the piece in the song "The Red Baron" from their albumThe Great War. The piece is transposed to C minor, and the first voice is lowered an octave relative to the second voice. TheCarolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps also included sections of the piece in the opener of their 2017 program "It Is".
