The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, is a piece of organ music composed by Johann Sebastian Bach sometime between 1703 and 1707. It is one of the most famous works in the organ repertoire, and has been used in a variety of popular media ranging from film, to video games, to rock music, and ringtones. The attribution of the piece to Bach has been challenged since the early 1980s by a number of scholars, and remains a controversial topic. Toccata and Fugue exhibits a typical simplified north German structure with a free opening (Toccata), a fugal section (Fugue) and a short free closing section. This is a specatular arrangement for horn octet that is a great audience pleaser. It is challenging and a show-piece.
