Sheet music: ko-fi.com/s/8e9ef84214 A fugue from July 2023 (mostly) that was fun to write. The goal was to improve my counterpoint skills and try some new things. I was pretty happy with how it turned out.
If you wanna get started and already know some music theory I'd look up Species Counterpoint exercises and start there. And just start writing, mess up and get feedback, you'll learn tons.
I have always wanted to write fugues but my attempts never bore any fruit(they were all below my expectations). This is a really good fugue. Bravo to you. Really nice. 😊👍
I had the same experience ages 13-30! Fugues are so fascinating because to be able to consistently write good fugues you need knowledge in harmony, counterpoint, form, melody writing, you name it, and you can always get better. This is the fugue I'm the most pleased with at the moment but it took 17 years of attempts as a hobbyist haha. And I need a lot more study. If you want some unsolicited advice I'd say just keep writing and working on the skillset and get feedback from people who are more skilled than you. It's expected that they're below your expectations, most of my fugues certainly are. Thank you for your kind words!
@@Pianoplayer93Same I played a lot I mostly love Les cyclopes, Tambourin, and les sauvages But I barely like La poule and la villageoise And Les trioles sounds weird for me 😅
That's really nice composition. It sounds like a clavichord but I guess it was a clavichord setting on an electric keyboard. Very nice result. Hope you compose more
Thank you for your kind encouragement :) It's the Muse Sounds harpsichord sound in MuseScore 4 which I quite like. I hope to upload more compositions eventually.
@@greenwoods798 no it's just the default Musescore playback with the Muse Sounds sound library with one caveat. There is an issue or bug in musescore where if you have multiple voices and one voice repeats the same note as another voice just played (such as in bar 14-15) that note becomes inaudible for some reason. So I created a file where I could export the audio one voice at a time, and mixed these tracks together in Audacity to get around that issue.
@@Pianoplayer93 you like the harpsichord sound? It's god-awful. It'a doubled by the octave, awfully inconsistent, doesn't sound like a harpischord at all, some notes aren't doubled for not reason, it's generally just terrible.
@@haydnschlinger6740 It's part of the Muse Sounds sound library which you can download for free with MuseScore 4 so yes the audio comes from MuseScore. Sadly it doesn't include the highest and lowest pitches that are available on many harpsichords. Not sure why they did it like that but hey, it sounds nice!
Wow, never expected this to pass 5000 views! I guess I have officially peaked in life. Thank you very much to everyone for watching!
Great piece! Bach would have been proud of you!
Thank you for your kind words!
Very very nice. I'm so envious of people like you that can write fugues

this is fire
Absolutely delightful! Thank you for sharing.

Great fugue! It's a rather tricky business writing one of these and you have nailed it...
This was great! The free counterpoint in the episode was very well written!
Fun for you to write. A delight for me to hear. 😃
great :)
Sounds great, I probably would have changed the subject’s downbeat eighth notes to B, D#, E or B, G, E and written accordingly, but I love this!
You are amazing!
Fantastic!
1:07 That neopolitan chord man
I appreciate people who appreciate neopolitan chords
@@Pianoplayer93 Always! They're a great tool! Not used nowadays sadly.
very nice fugue!
When u said i if VII III VI iio V I really felt that😔
Nice fugue mate.
Omg girl slayy💅💅 this sounds like bach and rameau girl, i hope you become famous, my compositions are just related to rameau lol
Thanks! I have played many of Rameau's keyboard pieces, he is one of my favorite baroque composers!

Bravo, très belle fugue !
Is the theme referencing something, or original?
The subject and its tail remind me of the Fugue in G Major from Bach's WTC II
I did look at the G major and A major fugues from WTC II to get inspiration for the tonal plan etc :)
Bach no murió, reencarnó en vos ❤
harmonic rhythm in this is strange whaaaa
That's really nice composition. It sounds like a clavichord but I guess it was a clavichord setting on an electric keyboard.

@@Pianoplayer93thanks for your answer! I'm curious if you use some additional software to change sound or it's only original sound from Musescore?

@@Whatismusic123 yup I'm a madlad like that
Cool fugue in Bach style for me the relativo of the fugue in G major BWV 860
Bach aurait été fier ! Bon travail !
Merci beaucoup!
🎉❤
Great! I would have thought it was Bach! What notation software did you use?
Thanks! It's MuseScore 4 :)
@@Pianoplayer93 Is the audio from musescore as well or is it an actual recording because it sounds pretty good

Is it in equal temperament ?
A quand une nouvelle fugue ou autre composition ? ;)
Does that piece available on Spotify?
No, maybe one day...
@@Pianoplayer93 then what are you waiting for?
Pretty bogus passing Bach off as your composition...❤
?
@@Pianoplayer93 I was paying you a compliment through a joke. 😀
@@rravvia ooooh haha thanks :D
It has clearly a baroque taste.
