CLXXVI. MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus: Fugue in G Minor, K. 154

CLXXVI. MOZART, Wolfgang Amadeus (1756-1791)

Fugue in G Minor, K. 154 (1782)
Martin Haselböck, organ
(2:48)



Who knows why Mozart didn't complete this fugue?

Above the second bar on page two is the notation Sechter. This would be Simon Sechter -- a composer and theorist who wrote over 5,000 fugues (he tried to write one a day).

He completed the fugue Mozart was too busy to finish, and -- voilá -- a beautiful short fugue for organ!
