Can you help me identify this piece of music?
This one's a bit of a tough question, but I thought that there may be some music enthusiasts out there who may be able to identify the piece played in this video. http://vimeo.com/26873735

It's from Bach's Art of the Fugue. It sounds kinda like Contrapunctus 7, but I didn't go through and listen carefully to all 14 of the fugues to compare.

It's most definitely not from the Art of the Fugue. It's not even a strict fugue, just an seembly of theme treatments in a fugato style. Sounds like one generation before Bach, or very young Bach. I'm still looking. There's so many of such pieces out there...

Best answer: It's the fugue from Buxtehude's Prelude & Fugue in F sharp minor

Best answer: monkey closet has it, I was just about to post the same. Here's a youtube link. Fugue starts at 1:36.
