Fugue in G minor, BWV 578

It is one of Bach's best known fugues and has been arranged for other voices, including an orchestral version by Leopold Stokowski.

The fugue's four-and-a-half measure subject in G minor is one of Bach's most recognizable tunes.

During the episodes, Bach uses one of Arcangelo Corelli's most famous techniques: imitation between two voices on an eighth note upbeat figure that first leaps up a fourth and then falls back down one step at a time.

[2] Swedish heavy metal band Sabaton uses the beginning of the piece in the song "The Red Baron" from their album The Great War.

The Carolina Crown Drum and Bugle Corps also included sections of the piece in the opener of their 2017 program "It Is".
