July 31, 20241 yr This is a fugue for part of my sonata in d major and I need feedback immediately. Thank you!I don’t have the audio though.
August 1, 20241 yr It might be a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basics in counterpoint before attempting a fugue. I strongly recommend that you do species counterpoint exercises.
August 1, 20241 yr Hi @Sonata_5, That’s a nice try for fugal writing. Beware of the parallel 5th as in b.6, 17, 28, and parallel octave in b.39. The voice leading is sometimes not smooth enough, for example b.33-35 bass, or parallel 2nd in b.43. Also this is a three part fugue rather than a four part fugue? Thx for sharing. Btw, remember to join @chopin’s short fugue challenge! Henry
August 1, 20241 yr Yes @Sonata_5, you can easily notate this in Music Jotter if you want to join my challenge. I will record it with good organ sounds, and put it up on YouTube. I'm going to make a short video on how to use Music Jotter, it's easy to use, and a powerful tool. @mossy84, why not join as well? Either way, it's hard for me to give advice on a non recording.

August 1, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, chopin said: @mossy84, why not join as well? I'm most worried about the 1min time limit. I mean, my latest prelude somehow managed to go on for over eight minutes (please go check that out, I spent a ton of time making it), so I'm a bit worried I might get carried away.

August 1, 20241 yr Up to you, but if you were to roughly follow my guidelines, it's easier for me to make the video, and audition your work. Think about it. I'll make a short tutorial video and that may help you make your decision.
