Rarely have I heard a contemporary fugue that well executed. I was afrai at first by the complexity of the subjet but it was incredibly well done. Thanks for the music !
Hey. Is it just me or did that opening sound like the cello part at the beginning of Shostakovich's 5th symphony. I'm not accusing you of copyright infringement, that's just an observation.
Interesting! It’s indeed the exact same figure (scale degree 1 up to 6, 5 down to raised 7; also rhythmically). I’m pretty sure I have not encountered the symphony before, so it couldn’t really be inspired by it (if anything, subconsciously). I had already wondered if this specific figure had been used anywhere else. I mean, it’s a very simple and obvious figure, rhythmically, harmonically, and melodically. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. (:
Honestly super impressive! I would love to here this performed or played with a better sound font. Some of the areas where two or more lines are playing the 16th note runs sound super thick and lack the impressive musicality of the rest of the piece, but I suspect that's probably just an artifact of the basic MIDI sound font.
Thank you so much! (= There is actually a better sounding version on my channel, although it’s still a MIDI-mockup. Do you find the 16th runs there boring as well? th-cam.com/video/C9xNSCnE_c8/w-d-xo.html Also, I’m wondering which parts you actually mean. There are only very few instances of nothing but 16th notes-and there are 16th runs all the way through the piece, in combination with more texture in other voices. Could you point me to time stamps that struck you?
Thank you a lot! (= When you write ‘stubbornness of rhythm,’ are you referring to the continuous 16th-runs and the general lack of special rhythmic figures?
@@averynhiell yes, and the drum like pattern of the theme (Tun -TUUN tun-TUUN tun-tun tun-tun tun-TUUN --- seen in the first measures --- which, with the modulation, gives a sense of joyful march, but, with the minor mode, it has also a bit of melanchony in it)
Hello! I recently found your channel, and I am impressed. You get better and better. If you are open to constructive criticism, there are moments where there are only sixteenth notes and they create a certain monotony, which interrupts the flow of the phrases. Of course this is stricly subjective. Keep it up!
It was good. But the only thing I could suggest is using alto clef, the switches between the bass and treble could be avoided should you decide to do so.

sehr starkes Stück, gut passender Titel...wobei noch zumindest eine dritte "Stimme" hinein passen würde, noch genug "Luft"....also mehr Sturm, statt nur Stürmchen..😂...das Ende klingt wie der Anfang von einem Nach-dem-Sturm Stück...kommt da noch mehr?! 🤩
@@AsdfFdsa-vn1kn Vielen Dank! (: Ich bin etwas verwirrt. Wolltest Du auf die Storm Fugue kommentieren? Das hier ist eine andere (die bereits vier Stimmen hat). Und die Storm Fugue hat schon drei Stimmen.
@@averynhiell ja, irgendwie ist das yt da weitergehupft und dar Kommentar zum Sturm war dann dort...ich verwende sicherlich dss Wort "Stimme" falsch, deshalb auch die Anführungszeichen. Ich verstehe leider gar nichts von Noten und Musiktheorie, ich kann nur hören, und ich hör-fantasiere da noch eine größere "Stimme" drüber...und wollte damit ausdrücken, dass die Grundidee des Stücks noch viel mehr Potential birgt...
Molto bella e soprattutto il tema molto coinvolgente, ben fatto♥️♥️ L'unico punto che mi sento di "criticare" è proprio l'ultima battuta, secondo me un finale troppo soppresso, troppo strozzato e soffocato, c'era altro modo per concluderlo; naturalmente ciò però è soggettivo ed è basato su un mio gusto
En el compás 9 (contando el compás de anacrusa) has pensado en crear una pequeña pausa ahí, como una corchea en lugar de una semicorchea? Eso daría más sentido a la frase para mí, pero es una opinión personal, gran pieza!!
too fast imo, hard to catch the harmonies and follow the counterpoint because the notes are mixed into mush at this speed (I listened to the “better” version, tempo is still an issue) i can’t really evaluate it because i can't hear all the important stuff for the above reason i would be glad to hear this on the harpsichord or organ, in 0.5-0.75x speed however
You can play it back up to half as fast here: musescore.com/user/28825706/scores/9169905 And if you have Musescore, you can download the score and change the instrument. I’m curious how you like it then. (:
Its really good. I enjoyed the subject, but 1/16s all the time? As a listener a loose focus and attention quickly, theres like no guidiance to your craftmenship, which is obviously not so bad!
Thank you, I appreciate it! (: When I wrote this fugue, I was still pretty much looking at Bach for guidance, and he does the continuous 16th runs all the time, although more effectively of course. I have since tried to deviate more and more from Bach and to do my own thing.
Very good!!!! Keep making more!!!! I would love to hear something from you with more emotion, not every part of a piece has to be blistering scale runs. Very Very good tho!!!!!

I agree fully.
@user-dv6vb8nt3w Thank you! ^^
Wow Beautiful ... indeed just imagine if Destiny Child sings this Fugue, it would make the fugue back in business again.
Thank you so much! ^^
Well, I can dream. xD
wow really well made!
definitely a big fan of the interplay between the theme and the counterpoint starting around 1:02

Very interesting. Well done.

I'm watching staccato notes disappear so fast, so cool
Thank you! ^^
Похоже на популярную музыку в хорошем смысле слова, подходит для музыкального просвещения людей не знакомых с полифонией
Спасибо большое! ^^
Bach would be proud.

I dare say, Bach would be jealous!

Lo tengo tra i miei canali preferiti 😂😊
Grazie, mi sento onorata. (:
It was good. But the only thing I could suggest is using alto clef, the switches between the bass and treble could be avoided should you decide to do so.
Thank you! (:
I agree, the alto clef would be an elegant solution, but afaik, it is extremely uncommon in scores written for keyboard instruments.
Great fugue! Ouch at 0.45 the software use natural D 😭
Thank you!
You mean the trill? Yeah, I haven’t figured out how to control how the program plays trills. But I think it sounds okay there. ^^

Тут написано на четырёх нотоносцев, каждый голос отдельно. А исполняется на одном инструменте?
Да, вы можете сыграть его на одном фортепиано, но вам понадобятся два пианиста.

Spesso mi dicono che i miei finali sono troppo bruschi. Ci sto lavorando.

The beginning kind of sounds like Chopin’s A minor fugue
I see what you mean, but it was definitely not intentional. ^^
@@averynhiell oh that’s not an accusation at all! A compliment if anything
@@ivankolobov9502 Oh, I see, I see. Thanks for the clarification. xD
Sorry, but i think it fails like so many fugues do. You should study how Bach made them interesting.
What do you mean when you write “fail”?
as long as it maintains all the rules of a fugue it cannot fail
It do not fail, it fly
@@DavitMinasyan-rn3fv I agree. Of course not everyone will enjoy it, but that doesn’t make the fugue fail in general.
@@jesus-raptor6534 Thank you! ^^
