Hmmmmm........there are probably quite a few of those, but here's some
that come to mind right away:

1.  Das Marienleben, Geburt Maria
2.  Art of Fugue, no. 1 from the CBC video: "Off the Record"
3.  Bb min. prelude, WTC 1
4.  A min. fugue, WTC 1
5.  E maj. fugue, WTC 2 from the Sony video: "An Art of the Fugue"

cheers,
