been really into the idea of fugues lately. i decided to write a realistic one. that is, no notes that are out of range, no crazy double stopping, in fact, no double stopping at all. this is completely playable.

also made it sort of a passacaglia although that form is still slightly new to me so there are breaks. but it does have a bass ostinato of leaping and then descending a fourth while being in a slow triple meter so there is that.

i misunderstood j.s. bach's fugue and passacaglia in c minor bmv 582. i liked how it sounded, did not pay attention to form. did not realize it was a passacaglia then a fugue instead of both simultaneously as i tried to do in this piece.

i tried to follow as many baroque conventions as i could but between my subject and passacaglia ostinato, it forced me into using second inversion chords quite a bit. doubling rule also ignored. some voice leading sometimes. i am proud of using almost only chord progressions with little retrogressions. also voice crossing avoided when possible.

it's rough but i'm new to this style. everyone has had a rocky start at some point. some are just rockier than others.

Fugue and Passacaglia in f minor for String Quartet

Take a Little Journey. Explore what you don't know. Let go and fall into it like a daydream.

Short composition based around two catchy violin riffs. I feel that I have explored the themes fully and that there is no reason to prolong the ending just to make this composition a standard length. I realize I could have flushed out the ending a little more but sometimes surprises are good.

So let this be a small fugue. Perhaps a fuguetta.
