  1. Here is a short, one-minute exercise I wrote to prepare for the upcoming fugue competition. In general, I tried to keep it simple, sticking to the basics of the form (exposition, a couple of episodes, a short coda). As for counterpoint, it's really not my strong suit, so I tried to incorporate as much contrary motion as possible, especially between the cello and the upper instruments. I also tried to keep to the idea of dissonance on strong beats and consonance on weak beats as much as possible. I've never written a fugue before, and I'm sure there's plenty I did wrong, so any pointers or corrections would be very welcome!
  2. So, I'm reposting old stuff because they're somehow gone. This is one of them. Enjoy^^
  3. This is an edit I did to a piece I wrote for school. I wanted something a little more professional sounding and not so humorous. I added a prelude to the fugue to give it some length and more opportunity to show my writing. I plan to use this as part of my portfolio for college, so any suggestions are welcome. Doesn't have to be about the piece, could be about what else to include in the portfolio. Sheet music is also available to see any engraving issues. There's probably a lot.
  4. First and foremost; I do not know anything about string playing. As a result of such inadequacy, there are maybe some double stops (don't think triple stops) that are a bit hard to play. I've had a friend look at it, and I've had the string teacher at my school look at it. My friend the string teacher is convinced that it is almost definitively a college piece. I just wanted to write a fugue. P.s. The ending might be a little. inappropriate. it was meant to be funny but now that i look at it after the fact, I think I might implore a different last few bars.
  5. I'd ike to share this little fugue in 5 voices. FUGA 5.mp3 FUGA 5.pdf
  6. My fugues. Youtube chanell - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq67eZ59XLApUiUS1mKwBhA I'm waiting for your opinion.
  7. This is my first attempt at writing a fugue. The subject itself in C klezmer, but the general tonality is geared more towards a typical C minor. I admit that I didn't try very hard to follow the traditional rules of fugue writing, but the next time I write one I think I will be much more strict with myself. I have attempted to use techniques like inversion, augmentation, and stretto, although I am not sure that I have implemented them correctly. The most baroque thing about this fugue is probably the Picardy third at the end, which I just included because I think it's a cute little baroque cliche. Enjoy.
  8. As I am new to this forum I guess I should introduce myself: I am a Norwegian hobby musician and have played classical piano for about 25 years. I play synthesizer in a band and I now and then write some music. Last year I challenged myself to write one song/melody every day. I have very little education in music theory, but I have a fairly good ear. Recently I found a new challenge: I want to write a fugue. I have read up on writing fugues (especially the Crash Course from this forum), and after some trial and error I have finished the exposition. The subject is the opening from a well known Norwegian lullaby. I am sure there are many counterpoint and style errors, so I would really like some feedback. I've read everywhere that after the first answer one should modulate back to the tonic, but I feel that it worked going directly back with only one eighth note in Bb. I also added an extra measure before the last answer as it gave a nice finish to the melody in the soprano. So there it is, please let me know what you think.

  9. I have read the works of Fux and Rameau, I am interested in writing music in the style of the baroque and the classical. Before I practice their teachings I have some questions: Apparently Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms ALL studied along the lines of Fux, and disagreed with much of Rameau's teachings. Again, considering that I am ONLY interested in writing music in the style of the baroque and the classical, should I abandon Rameau and stick only to Fux? I asked this question a month ago, but did not give as much information. Thanks.
  10. Fugue-nerds, What I propose is akin to a show-me-yours show-you-mine game wherein one person writes a fugue exposition, is critiqued by the other who then retaliates with their own exposition. This can go back and forth forever or just until we get bored. I'm not looking to get into an intellectual arm-wrestling match. I just enjoy the puzzley element of fugue writing and like to learn. Any takers?
