Fugue+g+minor




This is a 4-part fugue for organ. The piece is about 3 minutes long.
It's probably my largest fugue project till now. It took about 6 hours to compose (if not longer).
What do you think of it?



It's very awesome continnuity, did you study the art of counterpoint?
Thanks!

Well, I know the traditional rules of fuge-writing and counterpoint quite well.
But I also listened a lot to counterpointal music. And that's maybe the most important.
(Altough a theoretical understanding is also important of course!)
Ha! This was genuinely funny, the way you take the baroque figurations and distorted them into a chromatic fugue. I loved it! I heard some very well placed suspensions that seemed out of context in the chromatic setting but yet that were so right. Very well done!

I am currently studing Gradus ad Parnassum, it's very complicated!
Okay, interesting!
By which composer? Clementi?

Thank you!

I believe Joseph Fux's version of it. I love the style of dialect in it, like a book of Socrates where pupil & master converse back-n-forth constantly proving their wit. Gratsi, what famous books on contrapoint have you studied?
Bravo! Very impressive for 6 hours! Nice textures/ spacing throughout. Suspensions and chromaticism sound great, strong bassline.

Very nice. I like the usage of chromatics. 

Do you play the organ? Just glancing at the score I think there might be few parts that are unplayable.

I have had some organ lessons in the past, but I don't play it very well.

I agree with you that some parts are probably virtually unplayable. ;-)

I think most of it is playable if not all of it. I'll give it a go on the organ. This has been added to my favourite Fugues of all time.

Thanks. That's really flattering to hear.

Could you record yourself while playing this fugue? I think it would be really great when I have a real recording of this piece!

Sure, I will definitely record it. But I've only just started the organ so you might have to wait a few months or so.
