A journey into the philosophy
of counterpoint: through the
centuries and works of some
of the greatest composers,
the fugue unveils the sense of
a conversation in which the
instruments renounce their
own individuality in order to
blend together in spirtual
transcendence. Standing upon
the shoulders of these giants of
the past, we moderns can see
far into the distance and forever
regain our innocence…
