Fuge für Klavier in G dur op. 176

Hi all, here we go with a small fugue in G major, for 3 voices

It is my latest work actually and i dont feel it is a great one, but maybe this because the theme is not this great, or that anyway i must practice more with the genre... who knows

hope you like it

no comments?

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.

klingt irgendwie etwas zusammenhangslos

thanks J.Lee, yeahm the theme is not great and i dint like ituch, but i found myself writing it and i kept going, so that's that... now i posted the score too, so u can take a look.

warum klingt es zusammenhangslos??

I like it a lot and it sounds great but one thing I'm not a huge fan of is the added decoration. My philosophy for modern fugues is that the purer (ie., less extraneous, non-thematic material) the better. I like how you've used inversion of the subject.

what was the added decoration?? the 2 trills i used there? or the passages in 16ths??

honestly i dont like that much those 16th passages, maybe i will rework them... but i dont think that the trills are this bad :p

...but if you were referring to something else... then... id like to know so i can see it, but i'm glad you liked it
