Edo Period (17th Century) National Treasure (Kennin-ji Temple, Kyoto, Japan)

"Again the mode was changed; Peiwoh sang of war, of clashing steel and trampling steeds. And in the harp arose the tempest of Lungmen, the dragon rode the lightning, the thundering avalanche crashed through the hills."

In the beginning was the Note.

This is the F sharp minor Fugue from so-called Book 2.
