The Imperial March Fugue

Hi, 

here is my fugue on the theme of The Imperial March:

Waiting for your opinions. :)

This is a decent fugue!  Great idea to write a fugue on this subject.  I like the episodes and the various entries in the different keys (and also - nice stretto entries near the end).  For my personal taste however I was hoping you would write some counterpoint or countersubjects that didn't overuse the dotted 8th followed by 16th note rhythms.  There's a technique called "hocket" that would have been useful in coming up with smoother counterpoint.  Basically "hocket" is where a voice moves while another is stationary or absent.  So your dotted rhythms, I feel like, could have been more filled out with counterpoint that moved while the subject's dotted 8th notes were stationary (for a duration of three 16ths).  Some 16th note motion runs would have really rounded this piece out imo.  Thanks for sharing and here is a fugue with accompaniment from "TIE Fighter":

This is quite nice I think, a very auspicious beginning to what could be an even greater work. You seem to have the talent to flesh this one out, extended it in a number of ways of which I am sure you are familiar.  Why is it cut off so soon? I am working on a fugue now and sometime feel, when being confronted with a white sheet of virtual sheet music at the point where I left off writing the last time - (I tend to write one measure, almost, at a time letting whatever ideas as might develop have their way with my hopefully musical brain) - that the task is so daunting that I just want to finish the thing off and be done with it. But I believe I am becoming more patient in this regard as time goes by.
