Nocturne in Fugue - (inB minor) for piano. orig.
on: May 19, 2017, 03:10:35 PM
Hello fellow travelers,
This is my latest composition - in a series of fugue fantasies for piano.
It starts in a baroque feel, then modulates - affected by various styles - .
For those who are curious about the structure:  After the first thematic statement, it is then stated in the 4th, then 5th, then on the 2nd in the bass,  while it's inversion plays concomitantly- also  on the 2nd, then is played on the 3rd which then leads to the statement in the relative major- 6th, where it culminates with a dash of impressionism, then a transition leading to the returning to the opening theme in minor, where it is a bit like a Chopin etude, with some  'salsa' before its final statement..
There is a lot of mirroring, some strettos, even a faux canon :)

Comments and criticism are welcome and appreciated.
Thanks for listening.
