Six fugues for organ (or pedal piano) on the musical motif B♭-A-C-B♮, composed during Schumann's intensive period of contrapuntal study in 1845. The set progresses from relatively simple two-voice textures to an imposing six-voice double fugue, representing Schumann's most ambitious engagement with Baroque polyphony.
