    Stella and a fugue

    ...and I'll keep the flash on my camera OFF next time. :)

    I'll explain a little more. When I was in university, I took a fugue class and it was AMAAAAZING. Probably one of the best classes I've ever taken. I learned multitudes by just writing a fugue exposition and having it critiqued every week. I was hoping to duplicate the process here albeit with the internet hivemind. I'd hope this thread would NOT be a place where you feel like you have to stand for your fugue and defend it from criticism but just accept it and move on to the next one. Perhaps I should have started us off? Here's a wonky one I penned a few seconds ago: Regarding .fseventsd's fugue..... ...are you sure that in measure two you want a d flat in the alto voice and not a d natural? Same comment for the bass entry later on. Jncramer: Could the reason you're hearing all the entries in A flat be because he hasn't naturalized his d flat?

    Fugue-nerds, What I propose is akin to a show-me-yours show-you-mine game wherein one person writes a fugue exposition, is critiqued by the other who then retaliates with their own exposition. This can go back and forth forever or just until we get bored. I'm not looking to get into an intellectual arm-wrestling match. I just enjoy the puzzley element of fugue writing and like to learn. Any takers?

    Storytelling. Antagonist, protagonist, exposition, rising action, climax, denouement, and other literary terms work well for me when I try and think of the characteristics of a composition.
