Preludes & Fugues Opus 2: Fugue in G-sharp minor
The last fugue of Episode 3. A non-traditional fugue because the subject and its musical idea are based not on a melody but a rhythmic pattern – the same device Beethoven famously used in Symphony No.5. This fugue does not please its listeners. It has a feeling of being unsetling and unfinished. It literally asks for a resolution in Episode 4 which will be the last episode of Preludes & Fugues.
