As the old thread for Fugue Challenge will soon be deleted, fugues previously written for fugue challenge should be reposted here. Below you will also find the attachments including the notated subjects (PDF file) and the MIDI files for the original twelve individual subjects.
---------------------------------------
This is a counterpoint exercise, NOT a competition.
Here are twelve original fugue subjects for which no fugue has been written. If your fugue-writing skills need improvement, compose a fugue for one or more or all of the following subjects and let the other composers, myself enthusiastically included, help you revise it. This will improve your counterpoint in your fugal writing, but also in your non-fugal writing quicker than any other method. Some of these subjects are very easy and versatile, and others were designed to be a hindrance. I will also contribute a fugue set; writing a fugue for each of the twelve subjects. There's no rush. Take your time and consider the material throroughly. The instrumentation, tempos, and number of voicings is your own prerogative. You will find this helpful should you accept the challenge. Feel free to challenge my fugue-writing as well with one of your own [plausible] subjects in return.
