Course Description
Summary
An advanced course in counterpoint, focusing on the virtuosic practice of creating fugues. We鈥檒l focus on the watershed fugues of Bach and later touch on contemporary versions by Amy Beach, Bela Bartok, and Astor Piazzolla. Students will be expected to write fugues for two, three, and four voices. Students will work out challenges in writing for particular performers, who will be arranged for a final concert.
