As I am new to this forum I guess I should introduce myself: I am a Norwegian hobby musician and have played classical piano for about 25 years. I play synthesizer in a band and I now and then write some music. Last year I challenged myself to write one song/melody every day. I have very little education in music theory, but I have a fairly good ear.
Recently I found a new challenge: I want to write a fugue. I have read up on writing fugues (especially the Crash Course from this forum), and after some trial and error I have finished the exposition. The subject is the opening from a well known Norwegian lullaby. I am sure there are many counterpoint and style errors, so I would really like some feedback. I've read everywhere that after the first answer one should modulate back to the tonic, but I feel that it worked going directly back with only one eighth note in Bb. I also added an extra measure before the last answer as it gave a nice finish to the melody in the soprano.
So there it is, please let me know what you think.
