hahaha hilarity, one of the great musical jokes online.
I once made a Tetris Theme Fugue, it was a great hit.

I'm trying to write it out again, for those interested.
Bach - Partita No.2
Scriabin - Etude 8/12
Debussy - L'isle Joyeuse
Liszt - Un Sospiro

Goal:
Prokofiev - Toccata

I dunno - you are entitled to your opinion - but I think the counterpoint is pretty weak...but I can't blame him ... the subject does not have a lot of potential. Like I said before, it is great for a joke and
s%$* for music.

Well, I wasn't comparing it to Bach, as we all know he was the original master.

Anyway, it was much better than I could ever do.

Perhaps you could take the same theme and do it some justice. ;)


Cheers
