Second piece(or is that third)

Featured Replies

I wanted to write a fugue but got distracted and it kinda turned into a completely different beast. Anyways, its not finished as I think I might fix a few issues or add some more to it when I get the time. Thought I'd get some opinions for I start.

mp3 is here.

No comments huh? I guess that means it sucks?

Thanks for th reply. It started out as a fugue but as always I tend to get side tracked and end up doing other things. Started out just exploring an idea but I think there are some "sweet" spots in it. Some spots are so great but in general it seems ok.

oh, here is an updated link where I added an ending that I think is kinda cool. I really like the cascading effects that the melody produces when imitated at the octave and in stretto. (happens at 3 places, one with 2 voices, one with 3 and then at the end with 4(although here I had to change a lot of the melody and I would guess its not considered the original melody though)

I like it a lot man, good job for a third song! If I could see a score I could probably point out some weak spots so if you want to upload it...that'd be great.

.mus or .pdf file please. :blink:

Very interesting form and counterpoint. You demonstrated very well balanced harmonies while each voice remained completely true to the original phrase. It takes alot of skill to do that.

A very entertaining and brilliantly structured peice. I should learn it... :toothygrin:

Keep up the good work! You're a genius with fugues!
