Prelude and Fugue with 3. subjects

Featured Replies

Prelude and Fugue with 3 subjects in C Minor, composed in J.S. Bach's style. This is the movie from my youtube channel - youtube.com/gkesik- subjects in fugue are coloured - red: first, blue: second, green: third.

I found the prelude to be somewhat of a stream of notes, missed some textural contrast I guess, but perhaps that's mostly midi.

Good fugue! it reminds me of contrapunctus 14, and that's a compliment : P.

But for some criticism, the first theme seemed more like an accompaniment to me than a theme(perhaps add some ornaments?) and as a result I had a hard time following it.

I found the second theme was good initially because it introduced a stream of eight notes where it was mostly quarters before, so I felt as if the third theme subtracted from freshness of the second theme when it was rhythmically similar, also had a hard time discerning those two, when the third theme plays the first and second theme are inaudible to me.

In short, I think the 3 themes are not unique enough from the accompaniment and each other to really get the triple fugue across.

Anyway, I don't have time to comment on the other elements of the piece, but I must say you did manage to hold my attention during the whole fugue, I wish I was at that level of fugal writing.
