This piece is an original sonata by Bach. It is believed to have been written under the influence of the sonatas by J. Kuhnau (1660–1722), who was the first to use the name "sonata" for keyboard works, and whose sonatas were popular at the time.
This sonata features two distinctive fugues. The first fugue, in B minor, is a powerful work with a continuously developing subject, while the second fugue is cheerful and light, frequently featuring a theme that imitates the call of a cuckoo.
