@parquar regardless of how terrible our own fugues might sound the process itself, of trying to write a fugue, is always thrilling!
-
My favorite fugue of Handel is "He saw the lovely youth" from the Oratorio "Theodora" from 1752.

I feel like I'm playing an old NES rpg game. Sweet.

@adamworth1979 It was an age with so many incredible talents, like Henry Purcell, one of my favourites. What a talent he was, and he died so tragically young, at the age of 36, just like Mozart. But I I also love later composers, like Mozart , Beethoven and Wagner. But in our silly age, there is no understanding of the beauty and excellence of this type of music. It makes me so sad and frustrated. The pinnacle of western civisization is negleted and forgotten. How crazy is that?

@adamworth1979 I don't know about books, but in IMSLP there are LOTS of free sheet music, so you can start there, find nice music and then you can find and buy some book that has the music you like to have a nice version of the sheet =D. For harpsichord you should search mainly for baroque composers.

Bach is the fugue master indeed, but there is a freshness in Handel's fugues that really sets them apart from other composers, especially if you've been listening to a lot of Bach. I find that besides Bach, most composers' fugues either sound academic or simply mediocre. Not so with Handel. These are works of an unbridled imagination, yet masterful in form.

Mozart's fugues, however, I find legit although sometimes light on the counterpoint. (I of course prefer Bach's). Zoltan something completed Bach's last fugue Contrapunctus XIV and did an absolutely amazing job. Most non-Bach fugues do seem like crap though. Including my attempts lol
