The subject of this fugue for keyboard solo in 3 voices, occasionally in 4 voices, is taken from commercial music for instant coffee Nescafe Goldblend. The latter was composed by a prolific Japanese musician Masao Yagi (1932-91) with the title "Waking" and, since then, has been popular among many in Japan. Being never "instant," the former was completed on June 12, 2007 in Kyoto. (NB. I usually draft my work on used papers by tracing music sheets because it is "mottainai" to do so on unused ones.)
