This is, to date, my all time favorite piece by J.S. Bach. His Little Fugue in g minor was named 'little' not because of it's importance (commonly misconceived) but to differentiate it from his Great Fantasia and Fugue in g minor. The fugue is in four voices, nicely illustrated here in this simple, MIDI file animation. It's a beautiful, complex and very powerful piece (in this humble crumb's opinion) and interesting to see each voice visually represented. Check out the links below for more J.S.B.
