This is so great, Nico! I’m listening back again and again. I can recognise many strategies you show in the lessons applied here… and the way you dealt with this apparent awful subject is really impressive: as soon as the countersubject enters it doesn’t sound weird anymore… also the later entries with the flowing countersubject sound amazing… chapeau!
Great fugue! The subject given to you is admittedly awkward / tonally ambiguous (augmented triad? I wished to hear C-F instead of C-E). But somehow you made it feel natural...

Liking it more and more with each listen
Oh my well thanks for listening to it multiple times!!
F*cking awesome subject. Great writing (as always), Maestro.
Hah, thanks Derek. Thanks for listening. Don't you still owe me an email with your recent performance of the violin piece?
Another beautiful fugue! Really like the paintings as well, big fan of Vermeer.
Thanks for always listening! Thanks for the compliment! I also love Vermeer...! I just searched for "sad baroque paintings" lol...
the top voice at 3:19 is really good
Lol, yes, thanks for that ;). Same with the 7 chord on D-flat a few bars later.
Wow this is great
I really appreciate that!! Thank you!
❤ charming!
this is unreal!!!!
