Yep, I can see why that caught your eye! I think I already know what I want to with that one, too.

I'm scared to write keyboard fugues - I've never written one, and I don't have a keyboard readily available - but I may with a couple of these. The G-major looks good for that. Keyboard fugues can't be too rangy.

I can hardly believe that you, myself, Prometheus and Nick are the only ones (so far) jumping on this. It's such good exercise. A lot of people would rather experiment in other areas that don't have so many rules and confinements, I suppose, as evidenced by some of the other discussions that have been going on elsewhere. I've always been at my most creative while confined somewhat, or with at least a few boundaries. When set completely free - something I do occasionally - my mind is a wild and at times scary place - the image that comes to mind is a European wood at dusk on a stormy day...long shadows, wind, lightning and thunder, and large areas of gathering darkness. I don't know where to begin in a place like that...either nothing happens, or what comes out is rubbish. Set a boundary, and things come to order. Set a few boundaries, and art begins to happen.
