Fugue in C minor, BWV 847

J. S. Bach (1685-1750) - The Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1, No. 2 (1722)

The fugue that answers the Prelude in C minor (Book 7A): three voices, with a subject of bouncing sixteenths that every voice takes up in turn. Learn each voice alone, then in pairs, and keep the subject audible wherever it enters; the short episodes between entries are made from pieces of it.
