Toccata, Adagio and Fugue in C Major (BWV 564) is an organ composition by Johann Sebastian Bach. As with most of Bach's other organ works, the autograph score has not survived. The earliest manuscript copies were probably made between 1719 and 1727. In these copies, the title of the piece is given simply as Toccata in C major (or, more precisely, Toccata ped: ex C in one source and Toccata ex C♮ pedaliter, referring to the obbligato pedal part), as one would expect in organ literature of the time. The piece is an early work, probably composed in the mid to late Weimar years, i.e. 1710-1717. It has some similarities with other toccatas composed around the same time, such as BWV 538, BWV 540 and others: all show the influence of concerto style and form.
