Fugue on a Bach's Minuet theme
0
This is the result of a challenge. A friend of mine (from the university) challenged me to compose a fugue on a bach'ss minuet theme. Well, I did it, and here it is! Three voice harpsichord fugue on the BWV Anh. 114 Minuet theme.
Just one important observation: this is not Bach's composition. The actual composer is called Christian Petzold! Due to a historical comfusion, it's been attribued to Bach for a long time, and still treated as Bach's, even though people do know it's not his.

Very nice! If you really want to get nit picky, there are a few parallel fifths (measures 23 and 66 for example) though my pointing that out is like the kettle calling the pot black since I often have the same problem. I also would suggest trying more contrary motion int eh counterpoint as the voices generally go in the same direction (this would also help to avoid parallel 5th as well). However, I would say to met your friend's challenge quite nicely!
