Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
The Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (BWV 565) is considered Johann Sebastian Bach's most well-known composition for the organ, and is generally regarded as one of his best works. It is also one of his earlier works, thought to have been written between 1703 and 1707.It is described as having "ecstatic technical virtuosity and [also] mastery of form" by one commentator (Uwe Kraemer), and "elemental and unbounded power ... that only with difficulty abates sufficiently to give place to the logic and balance of the Fugue" by another (Hans-Joachim Schulze).
