Bach Fugue Subject: Body vs Bones (BWV 848)

Here are the structural notes that I'm listening for, in the subject from J.S. Bach's Fugue No. 3 in C-sharp major (BWV 848) from Book 1 of The Well-Tempered Clavier (1722). As usual, it's longterm motion by step, on the beat and establishing the tonic.

Notice also, Bach's use of neighbour tones in the 16th notes, as well as the lovely consecutive sixths. What a clever way to "decorate" a simple descending progression from G#, down to C#. I love Mr. B's music!????
