@@tschibasch Thank you so much! :D

@@natureboy1961 Wow, thank you so much! This means a lot to me. Writing a pop-song is an interesting idea. I would have to familiarise myself with the genre, but it has been a temptation for a while (cf. my Final Countdown Fugue).

Muito obrigada! :D

@@tschibasch Thanks a lot! :D

@@tavitenorclef I don’t understand, what does this mean? xD

@@BANERJEEWB Interesting question! My process is usually a bit chaotic: while writing the fugue, I revise the part I have already written over and over again. So, I do most of the corrections not afterwards, but during the process. Once I have finished a piece, I polish it, add dynamics, and finally show it to my private music teacher. Sometimes, he suggests a thing or two that I might want to consider changing. In the fugue at hand, I took his advice to make the ending more extensive and satisfying. Does that answer your question? (:

@@averynhiell yes it answers my question mostly. The thing is, you write a beginning part of the work. Then write the next part. But then you think I must change the beginning. so you change the beginning. then you see that the following part must be modified. Does it happen? I'm planning to upload an organ work and thought that I will just improvise the different parts and join them together. No hassle.

@@BANERJEEWB Yeah, it’s sometimes like that. I usually just play the part I have already written over and over again-to familiarise myself with the piece, to get a feeling for how I want to continue, and to look out for things to smooth out. Then, I write a few more measures and repeat the process. Sometimes, I’m not sure if I’m happy with how a certain part turned out, so I listen to the piece or a section of it again and again in order to figure out what to do. Changing one part seldom affects the next part, unless it’s a really radical change. But that’s just how I go about it. Other approaches are totally valid as well. <3

@@averynhiell Once again Thank you for your detailed Helpful response. What I understand it's a very difficult matter when you can't just put what comes in your head exactly. It's massive massive effort. Nothing but respect to those who do it.

@@BANERJEEWB Improvisations are a valid form of music, and there are even people who are able to improvise decent fugues. But I prefer to construct them meticulously. Mozart is said to have written masterpieces without revisions, but he was a genius after all.

@@BANERJEEWB Thanks a lot! :D I can perfectly see what you mean by “urgency”, nice observation.

Merci beaucoup! :D

Merci bien! (=

@@sunstrumsharam5388 Thanks a lot! :D

@@PierreRevol Merci beaucoup ! :D

@@BANERJEEWB Great! I will try to listen to some of it in the next couple of days. I already peeked into the first one and it sounds quite promising. ^^

Thanks a lot for taking the time to go through my upload. I'm indebted. 😊

@@BANERJEEWB Don’t mention it! I often check out the channel of someone who comments. Sometimes, I find a real treasure trove. ^^

@@BANERJEEWB Which movement of Kreislariana are you thinking of? (:

Actually it's the last movement of Kreislariana I'm referring to.

@@BANERJEEWB Ah, I see! ^^

@avyaktapurush Thanks a lot! ^^

@@thyrellsmith Thank you so much! I love inspiring others. :D

@@Rayenn_19 Wow, thank you so much! (=

@@BANERJEEWB Wow, this means a lot to me! <3

@@BANERJEEWB Thank you so much! (= Please, do post your compositions, the world is the richer for any style and form of music.

@@averynhiell I know. But my style is chiefly Western with elements I like. I also plan to give them an Indian influence later on. Because I also love the culture I grew up in. Indian popular music takes a lot from Western music. I love all forms of Western music from Palestrina to Stravinsky to Heavy metal. Many of my compositions are improvised. Haven't yet mastered the art of doing that on paper/software. I respect anyone who can compose counterpoint. Just yesterday I learnt about Digital Audio Workstation. It looks very complex.

@@BANERJEEWB Mixing Western with Indian music sounds very interesting! (= As for digitalising your compositions: I use Musescore Studio, which is a very versatile and intuitive music notation software, and free too, even though it heavily competes with paid programs like Sibelius. But of course, improvising and uploading improvised music is totally valid, too!

​Well according to my experience of music, Indian and Western (Greek) music was similar a long back, then we took on different ways. Both have different ways of expressing emotion and can be heavily academic. Pretty sophisticated rhythm too, and usage of Microtones. Anyway, Thank you for your advice, I'm learning musescore ! Have to admit, this requires hardwork.

Thanks for your comments. Let's see what I can master. I learnt the staff notation, and can do it slowly. I'm also learning musescore and a free Digital Audio Workstation and often inputing the notes from keyboard. So far I've followed the approach of improvisation followed by a bit of correction. Seems it will take quite a long time. Learning counterpoint will also take long time. The result of my upbringing in India is I can follow melodies, rhythm, motivic development, but lesser strength for harmony.

@@BANERJEEWB Thank you so much! :D

@@BANERJEEWB Thanks a lot! (= I wouldn’t go as far as to say I have mastered them, but I appreciate it.

@@Mymusicaldream Thanks a lot! ^^

@@NevaMaind Oh hey, didn’t expect to see you here. :D Thank you so much, I appreciate it! It’s definitely cheeky and silly. ^^

Wonderful, thank you so much! I really like this image. The "tree" aspect in the title was mostly inspired by the branching nature of this piece (with more and more thematic material coming in), but I love to hear all the different associations that people have! :D

I see what you mean. xD

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thank you so much! :D

@@tim_kovalev Thanks a lot! (=

@@solidsnake8008 Thank you so much, this means a lot to me! :D

@@averynhiell You're welcome, Averyn!

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thank you for your comment! Yes, it’s somewhat jazzy. I don’t know a lot about Jazz, though, so I don’t feel confident enough to call it that. What do you mean by “4/3”?

@@eliasadam_ Thank you! ^^

Thanks! ^^

Thanks a lot! :D

Thank you! ^^ This is Musescore 4, which allows you to install soundfonds, VSTs, and similar.

Thanks a lot, I appreciate it! (= I have been obsessed with fugues for several years now and can’t really imagine doing anything else in the foreseeable future. But there might come a point where I want to expand, who knows. ^^

Wow, thank you so much! I feel honoured. (=

Thank you so much! (= I agree, a G1 would have sounded nice there, and it would have been no problem to add it.

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thanks a lot! ^^

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thanks a lot! It’s wonderful to hear that my music elicits such impressions. ^^

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thank you! There was bound to be a piece that you don’t like as much as the others. I’m glad you say that because it makes your other comments all the more powerful, if you know what I mean.

@@leeruoho6343 Thank you so much! I will definitely have a look at Barber. ^^

@@ladywilhelminabass Thank you so much for your words! (= I’m actually working on a tutorial series where I describe my fugue writing process and provide advice. But I don’t plan to explain the counterpoint rules as there is already enough material on that on the internet (and I’m not sure if I would be able to explain them well enough lol). I want to focus on things that are less commonly talked about: tricks I learned along the way, from direct experience. Is there anything that you would like me to include in this tutorial series? (: If you want to familiarise yourself with counterpoint, I can recommend this free online textbook: viva.pressbooks.pub/openmusictheory/

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thank you for the hint! (: Can you describe what exactly makes the melody feel like that to you?

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thanks a lot! ^^

Thanks! ^^

@@Sherlock_Violin xD

@@eytonshalomsandiego Thank you a lot! (=

@@eytonshalomsandiego I think autumn is my favourite season. It feels so deep and calm to me, yet not as harsh as winter. <3

@@eytonshalomsandiego Interesting, thanks for the feedback! ^^

Wow, thank you so much for your words, this means a lot to me! <3 I really enjoy exploring different styles while maintaining the fugal form. Yes, I actually considered adding a guitar solo. The section after the exposition (starting at 0:49) is supposed to be reminiscent of one, although I think guitar solos usually occur later in rock songs and are also longer (I don’t know much about rock music). Thank you for the hint, I will consider it in case I ever write a rock n roll fugue again. ^^

Thank you so much, I appreciate it! (=

Thanks a lot! ^^
