June 22, 200818 yr 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 :) SoundClick artist: Guglielmo Esposito - Contemporary classical music, 18th and 19th century music, style like Mozart and Beethoven
June 26, 200818 yr 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.
June 26, 200818 yr Author 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. :)
July 30, 200817 yr Hi all, here we go with a small fugue in G major, for 3 voicesIt 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 :) SoundClick artist: Guglielmo Esposito - Contemporary classical music, 18th and 19th century music, style like Mozart and Beethoven 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.
July 30, 200817 yr Author 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 :)
March 1, 200917 yr Well, this was certainly very pleasant to listen to, but the subject was a little unremarkable. Still, it sounds like you pulled off some nice counterpoint (very convincing, too). Each fugue gets easier from the next, I find, so be sure to keep writing them! :) It .. satisfied me to listen to this, which doesn't happen with a lot of music (including some Mendelssohn pieces), so congratulations!
