Fugue in C minor No. 7.

After another seemingly unending period of stagnation and lack of inspiration, one of the fugues I had been recently working on has finally come to fruition.

To be quite frankly honest, I am still not entirely sure on how I feel about this one. Admittedly, some passages might require better connectivity between them, as some of the free counterpoint sections and pedal points might sound a tad too sudden and are perhaps in need of some reworking. But for now, this is all I can provide.

Enjoy!

Hi @Fugax Contrapunctus

I like the catchy subject in this fugue!  I don't personally think the modulation to A major is that surprising or unprepared.  Since you first arrived in A minor which is the relative minor of C and hence closely related I didn't find it that sudden to then go to A major and even F# minor.  Besides, in Bartok's Axis System, C, Eb, F#, and A are all tonic functions as applied to this piece.  I like how you include a full re-exposition in this fugue.  The ending however, I felt like could have been better prepared by starting the ritardando a little earlier.  Thanks for sharing!
