Gugliemo, without a score it's difficult to tell exactly how you handled this, but I think you did a pretty good job of handling difficult material to treat contrapuntally. Theoretically, almost anything can become a fugue subject (I used "Ah, Vous Dirais-je, Maman" in a fugue lesson I posted here), but some subjects are better suited for the task than others. Your own assessment of the subject is a fair one, yet despite some unusual and awkward moments, I have to hand it to you for doing a yeoman's job of putting this fugue together. It sounded like you did your exposition correctly, and some of the ideas you came up with were wonderfully inventive. I loved the ending especially. I really admire your creativity and resourcefulness.
