Whose Music Is Toccata and Fugue in D Minor?

Toccata and Fugue in D minor, catalogued as BWV 565, is one of the best-known organ pieces ever written. It is traditionally credited to Johann Sebastian Bach and may have been composed early in his career. No manuscript in Bach's hand survives; the earliest known copy was made by Johannes Ringk after Bach's death. Some musicologists argue that its style differs from Bach's other works and that it may be by another composer. Leopold Stokowski's orchestral arrangement opened Disney's 1940 film Fantasia.
