Preludes & Fugues Opus 2: Fugue in A minor
A three-part fugue in grave, serious tone. It's simple and sparse, yet maintain fugal devices and complexity. There is a feeling of unstoppable gravitation that pulls one into something, whatever it is that would depend on a listener. This fugue is composed straight in one day. In term of structure, there is a small deviation from the strict requirement in the exposition part. In one voice I replace the Counter Subject with a free counterpoint. It is needed for aesthetic reason – to represent the progression and development of the theme more musically. This is the first time that I deviate from the strict requirement of the exposition part.
