I didn't really like this piece a great deal, but I don't think that matters. It had some lovely moments, and I thought you moved between dissonance, harmony, counetrpoint and unison very effectively. More importantly however, although you've called the work a 'fugue', it isn't really one at all, since the voices enter at the wrong intervals, and after the exposition you don't appear to exploit any 'fugal' techniques. Also, how classical were you trying to be? It sounded awfully modern to my ears (which isn't necessarily a bad thing - I struggle to write modern music!)
