Preludes & Fugues Opus 2: Fugue in B minor
The final fugue and the final piece of 48 Preludes & Fugues. This is the music that is truest to my consciousness, worthy of being an ending piece of this year-long effort.
Fugue in B minor is a four-part double fugue with four episodes. Each subject comprises two episodes. At 5:21 minutes, it is the longest piece in the set, containing the highest note and the lowest note. It also features all fugue-specific techniques (that I know of): stretto, false entry, diminution, and double exposition.
