Bach's 'Musical Offering', the stuff of legend..
One of the most celebrated works in classical music, was composed near the end of Bach's life in 1747. His son CPE Bach, gave the old Bach a complex theme to see if he could develop it into a 6-part fugue. The subsequent set of pieces he composed, known as the ‘Musical Offering’, has become the stuff of legend.
