 The Art of the Fugue

The main subject is inverted in a new way, beginning on the dominant note A (fifth note in the scale of D minor) rather than the tonic, or main note, D. The piece is highly virtuosic, combining both the rhythmic and harmonic elements of the previous two movements into one work.
Bach also weaves in his name in the third subject - B flat-A-C-B natural - that is, in German notation,"BACH." This turbulent movement is the most dramatic of the entire work and one of Bach's boldest expositions of his harmonic powers.
