Johann Sebastian Bach often composed pieces as part of larger, summarial works. Thus the Orgelbüchlein was to contain a Chorale Prelude for each feast of the church year, the prelude-and-fugue pairs in the Well-Tempered Clavier represent all possible keys, etc. Similarly, Die Kunst der Fuge ("The Art of Fugue") was designed to offer a compendium of all types of fugal technique. The fugue of the mature Baroque was the final flowering of Renaissance and Baroque polyphony. While most composers of Bach's generation had turned to other musical forms, Bach himself continued to write in "older" styles, and was to become the unchallenged master of the fugue. Die Kunst der Fuge was written during the last years of his life, and was being prepared for publication at the time of his death.
