Another Fugue

Featured Replies

hello all. im going to post a fugue i have been working on for a while. (around 4 or 5 months off and on.). it is a piece for four strings. It still needs a lot of work. Especially around the second half of the piece.

what i would most like help with is understanding chord progressions in a fugue, and perhaps some tips on non-chord tones, etc specific to this piece. (where to use them, why...)

hah, thinking about it now, i wonder why im not reading up on it right now and learning it on my own. but it is always important to talk directly to someone who knows what they are talking about.

any way, thanks. here it is.

I think the best way to understand chord progressions and NCTs is to listen to lots of Bach. In twenty minutes you can learn more by ear than you can from reading a book; books like 'The Craft of Tonal Counterpoint' are really only useful for the advanced techniques than one cannot pick up easily by ear or by self-analysis.
