Wel, other than the fact that Pablo here has no idea what he's talking about....

I rather LIKED your fugue.

The only critique I would bring is that I felt the inclusion of the mirror version was a tiny bit too prominant and too soon into the fugue. It would have felt more balanced had the actual subject been a bit more explored up front before launching into the mirror version.

And one other little detail: be careful of that dotted quarter note in the subject. There were moments where the counterpoint came to a complete stop ON that long note. It broke the rhythm of the piece completely. The idea would be to make sure that whenever your dotted quarter note shows up in the subject, that the countersubject be active through-out.

Anyways, I really liked the fugue.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
