BWV1087
This late contrapuntal work is composed by fourteen canons built on the first eight bass notes from the Aria of the Goldberg Variations. It was found in 1974, in Strasbourg (Alsace, France), forming an appendix to the Bach's personal printed edition of the Goldberg Variations. Among those canons, the eleventh and the thirteenth are a sort of first version of BWV1077 and BWV1076, which is included in the famous portrait of Bach painted by Elias Gottlob Haussmann in 1746. See the canons of BWV 1087 (external link).
