Through double counterpoint, the subject & countersubject exchange registers, ensuring constant variation. Like a fractal, the fugue reveals new layers of complexity at every turn.

Bach’s inspiration may trace back to Johann Fischer (1702), linking his work to a broader musical lineage. His fugue, like a fractal, connects moments in time.

A fractal is a pattern that repeats itself at different scales—zoom in, and you'll see the same structure again and again. Like snowflakes, galaxies, or Bach’s fugues, simple rules create infinite complexity. Order in chaos, symmetry in variation.
