Zoltan Goncz created a "permutational matrix" to analyze the last section of this work. It was first publicly performed by Karl Straube, who used a score orchestrated by Wolfgang Graeser. Gustav Nottebohm demonstrated the feasibility of one of its sections having four themes, inspiring Helmut Walcha to complete it. This work's main theme consists of a D-A perfect fifth and a C sharp-C diminished fifth, and interweaves with the theme B flat-A-C-B natural in its final section, which was left unfinished. It is separated into sections by canons, including one in augmentation and contrary motion, and includes fourteen pieces labeled "Contrapunctus." For 10 points, name this book of keyboard pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, which consists of works for multiple voices in imitative counterpoint.
