Glenn Gould - So You Want to Write a Fugue

That’s Gould! Genius!
So just forget the rules and write one.
Have a try, try to write a fugue.
So just ignore the rules and try.
「規則なんか忘れて、無視して、フーガを
書こうぜ。やってみて！」って言われても、
ボク達には、フーガは書けません。
グールドさん、あなたは天才なんですから．．．

So you want to write a fugue?
You've got the urge to write a fugue,
You've got the nerve to write a fugue,
So go ahead and write a fugue that we can sing!
Pay no heed to what we've told you,
Give no mind to what we've told you,
Just forget all that we've told you,
And the theory that you've read.
For the only way to write one,
Is just to plunge right in and write one,
So just forget the rules and write one,
Have a try, yes, try to write a fugue.
So just ignore the rules and try,
And the fun of it will get you,
And the joy of it will fetch you,
It's pleasure that is bound to satisfy.
So why not have a try?
You'll decide that John Sebastian
Must have been a very personable guy.
But never be clever for the sake of being clever,
For a canon in inversion is a dangerous diversion,
And a bit of augmentation is a serious temptation,
While a stretto diminution is an obvious solution.
Never be clever for the sake of being clever,
For the sake of showing off!
It's rather awesome, isn't it?
And when you've finished writing it,
I think you'll find a great joy in it (hope so)...
Well, nothing ventured nothing gained they say...
But still it is rather hard to start.
Let us try.
Right now?
We're going to write a fugue right now!
