Fugax Contrapunctus Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Today I just finished another Heterodox Fugue; this time in F minor. What I mean by "Heterodox Fugue" (or invention, I don't know) is an imitative counterpoint which has some glides leading it right out of the conventional Baroque style. Hope you enjoy it!

SergeOfArniVillage Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think it sounds pretty cool, and it’s fun to listen to. I think the only potentially unreasonable measure is ms. 8, on the 11th beat — that’s a really wide interval, and having to jump to whatever note would sound kind of awkward in this context. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis Hernández Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I think it's funny. Many of us try to justify our fugue or counterpoint pieces (I am the first) saying we don't follow strictly baroque rules, etc... And it's fine. Hating parallel fifths and octaves is a matter of that time. Of course, if we fill our score with those parallels, the effect is very different. Your work here seems controlled. I like spots as measure 11 where the frist E natural forms a tritone with the Bb... Spicy. The only thing I miss is some point of rest in the piece.
