I too shall try to help resurrect this thread.
I've written a handful of fairly compliant bach-style fugues over the last few months, but my music teacher complained that they were *too* Bachian in form and style; he tried to ban from me listening to Bach, loading me with Hindemith and Walton instead (naturally, I had broken his command within about twenty minutes). The following files are of the exposition and middle entries of a neo-classical fugue in an unspecified key. This is a work that's wholly in progress; there are several sections that I just sketched out so I could keep composing!
I tried to upload a spreadsheet 'map' of the fugue, but YC refused to cooperate. In essence the current material comprises an exposition, counterexposition of the inversus, canon of the rectus at the third, middle entries of the rectus and inversus in unrelated keys and middle entries of the rectus at the unison and octave followed by a brief fantasia section (based on material from the prelude) after which I intend to bring back the subject in augmentation (I've added some rubbish to 'simulate' what it might sound like).
I'm welcome to receive feedback, provided the reviewers bear in mind the supposed genre of the composition - neoclassicism (i.e. I'm not interested in hearing how many hundreds of parallel fifths I've used!)
Many thanks, and I hope you enjoy the piece.
