The title says it all: a few days after posting this fugue I seeked for and found some parallels, so I corrected them. I wasn't sure whether I should repost (which I'm doing right now) or simply let them slide past my mind. But I recently realised they were too obvious, which might be the reason why no one has replied since I posted the fugue. Also, I changed the instrument in the soundfont I'm currently using for the computer to play what is supposed to be a Reed Organ, despite I don't think the timbre is comparable to the real instrument, I guess it sounds nice. So it might sound like it's played by some sort of unspecified wind instrument. Hope everyone, quarantined or not, are safe and resisting the devastating effects of this epidemic so far.

Hello everyone I would like to share this new melody. If you have time, please give me your opinion and advice. Thanks ! 🙂

Wrote a short piece in B minor, this time the theme wasn't from improvising. I just wrote this completely on the computer. Hopefully I didn't subconsciously use something from an existing piece...

Its a canon-like piece in the sense that the alto voice is mimiced in the bass throughout the whole piece.

I use my phone to record, and go for a walk in the woods and hum what I've written so far. I always end up spontaneously adding something new, or varying the rhythms, or putting in a key change, without really thinking about it as I go. There's something about walking and getting away from the paper that seems to loosen up my brain, and then I have a record on my phone that I can go back through when I'm home again to remember what I came up with and write down the best parts. Driving seems to work well too. Something about being in motion. There is a need to fill the aural space with sound, and the brain obliges. (: But for me, the most important is a way to record, so that I can just hum, without trying to write it down at the same time. It seems to free up my brain to let the music out.
