[Putz József · Rating 4 out of 5]

Gives very deep knowledge of the fugue. The explanations sometimes are very old-fashion. Reader can easily lost in details. Despite this weakness the material is well-structured. Contains deep fugue analysis and "school fugues" written directly for pedagogical purposes, based on student can easipy write his/her own fugues.
