Toccata and Fugue may refer to several classical compositions attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach: Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 – the best known "Toccata and Fugue", for organ; Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 538 a.k.a. Dorian, for organ; Toccata and Fugue in F major, BWV 540 – for organ
The Toccata (as a prelude) is proportionally the largest of all Bach's works in the format of prelude-fugue. It is often treated as a show piece, with the ensuing fugue omitted. The Toccata's rhythmic signature suggests a passepied or a musette, although the large scale of the movement does not support these characterizations.
The second movement is again in two sections, one marked Adagio and another marked Grave. The insertion of a middle slow movement in an organ work was unusual for Bach, although traces of this idea can be found in other works from the same period: for example, a surviving early version of Prelude and Fugue in C Major, BWV 545, contains a slow Trio, which was removed from the final version, but ...

The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 538, is an organ piece by Johann Sebastian Bach.Like the better-known BWV 565, BWV 538 also bears the title Toccata and Fugue in D minor, although it is often referred to by the nickname Dorian – a reference to the fact that the piece is written without a key signature – a notation that leads one to assume the Dorian mode [citation needed].
Also a virtuoso organist and harpsichordist, he recorded major works by Bach for solo keyboard instruments, including the Goldberg Variations; the Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in G minor, BWV 903; the Passacaglia and Fugue in C minor, BWV 582; the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565; the "Dorian" Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 538; the ...
