Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 Hi @Fermata, Thx for your comment!

I mean, I've done myself several counterpoint exercises for more than four voices, but always with simple stile antico themes... How did you go about working out this complicated subject? To be honest, I don’t know what technique I use. The reason I write with that subject is because it’s from the fugato in the first movement and I wanna explore it. I cut the theme short to become the first subject in the fugue here so it makes it easier to write, but when the long third subject appears in 4:58 I actually felt it easier to write since I don’t have to write with heavy stretti. The only technique I consciously used is the splitting of the third subject in b.171. I just write what I want in every moment of the fugue and doing calculation🤑 I don’t know how I work out this complicated subject (three subjects!) too… Henry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
