The subject of this one first came to mind roughly 7 hours ago already in its current form, and realizing its potential I wasted no time in writing it down, lest I forgot its exact melodic contour whose progression has been able to accommodate for elaborate chromaticisms in the other voices.

Now, after yet another sleepless night put to good use with tireless contrapuntal machinations, this little fugue for string trio is at last complete in my eyes.

Minor adjustments, plus a general main key change from E to F minor due to playback errors on the viola part resulting in weirdly out of tune lower C-sharps.

A beautiful piece.
I think the subject matter is very original and distinctive. That really helps with the recognition of the entries.
The parallel descending movements are very beautiful, with those appoggiaturas, etc., as in bars 19 onwards and later with the reinforcement of the bass.
I think it loses none of the essence of counterpoint, but it has many touches that make it sound modern, such as the profusion of articulations.

Best regards.
