I absolutely adore it and am currently raping the first counterpoint in order to get reacquainted with piano playing.
Beethoven himself was a big fan of Bach's fugues and said himself that he always played something from the well tempered clavier to clear his head before composing. In his fugue writing, be it the string piece above, the missa solemnis or the 9th, he surely drew extensively from what he learned from Bach.
