Fugue of All Living Things (for string quartet) | Original Composition in B(♭)-Minor
Музыка
Noteworthy features of this fugue:
→ the piece starts and ends in b-minor, but it has a large section in b♭-minor, hence the title
→ this section starts in bar 38 (1:36), which marks the end of the shorter side of the golden ratio
→ the end of the larger section of the golden ratio falls in bar 62 (2:36) and coincides with the introduction of the inverted subject, which is alluded to in the preceding episode
→ the first three episodes (starting at 0:48, 1:24, and 2:20) feature variations on the head of the subject; the last episode (3:14) contains the whole subject in augmentation, with the inverted head of the subject interspersed
→ while my previous fugues always have a dedicated stretto section towards the end, in this fugue, stretti occur throughout the middle entries

Don't know why but the exposition evoked Shostakovitch for me. Great work!

Thank you! ^^ Interesting, I did listen to his 24 preludes and fugues two years ago, perhaps I was a bit inspired by them, subconsciously.
I think this must be your most amazing fugue yet in its daring dissonance and fabulously cantilevered theme and sinewed rhythms... I am simply amazed by your technique here. This would be a great introduction to anyone who thinks they don't like high chromaticism in music or a modern sound. You achieve a singing lyricism while maintaining an astounding harmonic and melodic and rhythmic complexity.

Wow, thank you so much, this means a lot to me! (= The words you use to describe it are so specific and poetic, thank you for this unique insight into how you perceive the piece.
Very nice mix of Musikalisches Opfer, Shostakovich string quartets and Olivier Messiaen.

Very nice one! For me, it has something both playful and menacing. A bit like a lion cub or sum.

People have often said this about my old pieces, but seldom about my fugues. Thank you for sharing your impression, very interesting! ^^
Good job! Although the cadence of picarda at the end puzzled me...

Thank you! ^^ I would be interested to know why the Picardy third puzzled you.

@@averynhiell The experience of listening to your cadenza has been similar to the end of the presto of Mozart's Divertimento Kv 522. imslp.eu/files/imglnks/euimg/3/35/IMSLP509964-PMLP33490-Mozart,_Wofgang_Amadeus-NMA_07_18_09_KV_522_scan.pdf
I will never understand why muse strings puts so many glisses everywhere
