Continuing our study of the many concerti transcriptions Bach made around 1713, this is a transcription of another piece by Johann Ernst, Prince of Saxe-Weimar. The original music is lost, however Bach was fond enough of the piece to make another transcription (of the opening movement) for organ, BWV 595.

![The Fourth Canon in The Art of Fugue: Upside Down, Slowed Down... How Much More Down?
Rather than moving on to the final fugue, we have a brief visit to the final canon of the four canons in The Art of Fugue.
Canon per Augmentationem in Contrario Motu (Canon in augmentation and contrary motion [inversion]).
This form of this canon is very similar in construction to the previous ones, though rather than increasing the interval of imitation, the following voice appears in inversion and moving twice as slowly! A very complicated procedure.
