Sure, and since you know the
Art of Fugue, you will probably know the last Contrapunctus (#14,
Fuga a 3 Soggetti, BWV 1080), which was unfinished. The subject of this fugue, which you will hear at the beginning, is the BACH motif. It's amazing that he could just put his signature right into the music!
