August 3, 201411 yr Hi. I've been messing around with this particular fugue theme (see attachment below) for a while; I have some troubles with constructing a canonic stretto between subject and answer (or vice versa). Since the theme itself was composed for examination purposes, it was allegedly designed to offer possibilities for close stretto, yet I haven't been able to find any solutions no matter how hard I try. Maybe some forum members who like contrapuntal problems could give some ideas for which I'd be grateful. subject.bmp

Please tell me you're actually a professor somewhere.
