A very varied piece! Sounds like a fantasy or a capriccio. And it conveys the feeling of flying at times quite nicely. At 00:30, there is a strange (minor?) chord. Also, sometimes it seems that both hands are overlapping or indeed playing the same note (e.g. around 0:50). A score would be helpful, if possible.

Thanks. As far as the score is concerned,  it looks like a real virtuoso piece, at times only playable by taking some liberties, like the bass in m. 22 or in 30/31, to name just two examples. Polyrhythm like in m. 19 to 28 is of course no problem for the advanced virtuoso, but note that e.g. in the 18th century, these were often played like a long and a short note against three short ones, so that in fact both voiced played sort of triplets. This is much easier to play. Just my tuppence.

Just one quick note on the title: The word fuga means "flight" in the sense of fleeing. In a fugue, one voice seems to flee from the other. "flight" in the sense of flying would be apparently volatus, but with the genitive of volatus as well (u declination) . So "volatus virtute". However,  my Latin is a bit rusty.
