Best Answer

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). He left it unfinished at his death, although it wasn't the last piece he was working on. Along with his slightly earlier A Musical Offering, it is a collection of 18 of the most staggeringly complex and sophisticated treatments of a single theme in all of Western music. One canon, for example, has the tune playing against itself upside down and half as fast.
