It's a little bit too short really, ad doesn't have the grandeur of the first string quartet fugue, which works much better in its symphonic setting than the quartet version. I agree though it is an utterly brilliant litle fugue - ravishingly beautiful - though there may have been a few wrong notes here!
What a beautiful arrangement and performance. Amazing sound, considering. Thank you.

One wonders why Ives didn't use this fugue instead of the one from the first string quartet for the 4th Symphony. This is great!
