A silly, pretentious instructional video I made for Prof. James Gardner's Sight & Sound: TV course, where I write a fugue based on the theme from Britney Spear's "Oops I Did It Again".

By popular request, you may now find the sheet music here: http://www.danielpi.com/oops-i-did-it...

    Have you ever considered 'defugalizing' the audio parts to explain the structure of the piece? I would be very interested in listening to that.

    If only Britney Spears was smart enough to do that. Then, her music might actually be "good".

    I'm actually trying to learn how to write a fugue, and while I appreciate why you explained it the way you did, being able to hear the 3 narrations separately would be nice.

    You're thinking of the psychological condition "fugue state", not the "fugue" musical composition; easy mistake to make, tho...

    I think he didn't really wanna go into all the counterpoint... I'm doing counterpoint now and you there's A LOT of rules my professor is avoiding for our theory class because fugues and counterpoint take a while to learn and ages to master

    ... this is fantastic. you're amazing (although the fugue-discussion does become hard on the ears after a little).
