Keywords: Art; Bach; Fugue; Heidegger; Phenomenology;
Summary/Abstract: Listening and polyphony lead us directly to reflection on the musical form of the fugue. Starting with M. Heidegger’s considerations about the juncture of beyng, we will phenomenologically ask about the essence of the fugue, and the musical work put under analysis will be The Art of Fugue by J.S. Bach. The article aims to show the convergence between Heidegger’s philosophy and the essence of the musical form of fugue as an artistic mode of the essential occurrence of beyng as an event.
