Very nice fugal writing. Could you post the PDF of this piece just the way way you have on this video? This would make a nice piece to play on the pipe organ. If you have the time, try to make the full 24-fugue cycle of compositions (something that I am attempting to do) ;-D

@gngeannakakes I have posted a link to the score in the video description.

great fugue! there's just one thing I noticed; from the moment the bassoon enters til 1:06, he doesn't stop playing at all: he needs to breath! you have top always remember to let woodwind players breath, unlike strings who can play without ever stopping. Otherwise great job!

[Contrapunctus1750]

@afffred Thanks for noticing that! It would take a superhuman bassoonist to play it.

Vivaldi would be proud.

@NihilNominis: Best of luck. There's no such thing as too much good Baroque music, in my opinion.

@Contrapunctus1750 Excellent. That gives me hope! I've been observing, reading scores, just listening, and learning organ performance for quite some time now, always with an eye towards composition, but I never had the guts to start. Style had always stood in the way - I didn't know what style of music one ought to write. To-day, I'm writing my first important composition - the organ music for the first mass (Tridentine!) of a local priest. Baroque. Wish me luck!
