Musicology:

Fugue in Ab-, WoO8
Key: Ab-
Year: 1856
Genre: Prelude / Fugue
Pr. Instrument: Organ

This work was an exercise written for Brahms' counterpoint studies with Joseph Joachim and, although published by Brahms in 1864, is hardly representative of his best work. Nevertheless, it is expertly constructed and original in its complex and highly chromatic harmonies.
