Round 8: Tossup 17

The second movements of each of Bach’s three violin sonatas have second movements which are these pieces in G minor, A minor, and C major, respectively. Fourteen of these pieces appear alongside four canons in an 18th century work titled for them. The Thema Regium (15[1])features (15[1])in two “ricercars,” examples of these pieces in (*) The Musical Offering. 24 of these pieces, which name a landmark (10[1])work titled for the “Art of” (10[1])them, are paired with (10[1])24 preludes in The Well-Tempered Clavier. This is the second title (10[1])piece in a haunting D minor work that opens Disney’s Fantasia. For 10 points, what contrapuntal work is paired with a toccata in a J.S. Bach organ piece? ■END■
