      Man that'd be great. It's difficult cause so much of the baroque music practice is in the instruments and the instrumentation, so at that point are you using historical instruments but making new music? Or using modern instruments in a baroque style with baroque rules to the music

      I'm a composer of forty years, and this is the first time that I encounter the collocation "compositional feature" in any language I'm remotely familiar with.

      @@alex_evstyugov By 'compositional features' (quite a common expression here in the UK) I am referring to devices such as imitation, sequence, false relation etc. which are very frequently used in Baroque/Baroque-pastiche writing. I'm only a composer of 25 years compared to your forty. Having said that, not sure how my pointing out that I approve of the composer's use of several devices (i.e. I like this piece & think it's a good piece) means I am "piggybacking off someone's excellent achievements". Anyway, Happy New Year!

    I love it so much I’m not even going to deduct points for the third entry of the subject in the exposition being in the dominant when it of course should have been back in the tonic, so you basically get two answers in a row. Although Bach did do that in his fugue in Cmajor from the WTC that was a four voice fugue and it returns to the tonic for the 4th entry. To my knowledge, there is never two answers in a row in a 3-voice fugue in the baroque period. But I’m being overly pedantic, truthfully this is a masterful use of Bach contrapuntal language. Very impressive!

      Actually, his mistake leaves a lot of room in what he was trying to say. He literally left out the most important part of what he's saying.
      And even if I could know with certainty that I understand what he's TRYING to say, then my point still stands. The entire point of what I'M saying is OBJECTIVELY true: he didn't finish his sentence and therefore both didn't say what he meant to say and failed to communicate. The lack of communication skill is what I'm commenting on. Even if I can still understand someone who makes a mistake, then that doesn't in any way invalidate my correction.
      It's my view that it's more important to communicate properly as the one trying to express one's ideas; you shouldn't rely on other people being able to decipher your ineptitude properly.
