Although I'm no expert on Bach, I've played a lot of Bach and I've analysed his fugues, written one or two of…"

Paul Cecchetti replied to Paul Cecchetti's discussion Fugue in B Minor"Yes Johan, I would very much appreciate some of your artistic advice, thats why I post stuff to this forum!

Johan Halmén replied to Paul Cecchetti's discussion Fugue in B Minor"Well, there are lots of faults, if you really would like to make this Bach-like. But I guess you don't. I guess you want to allow some rule breaking here and there to make it sound a bit modern. The "faults" I'm talking about is…"

Hi guys.. A short workout in three-part counterpoint.. have gotten big into Bach and his WTC recently,, wrote a toccata to go with this piece but it's not too good :( In posting this here I'm hoping to discover through you guys how to make this more JS Bach fugue-like ... Hope you enjoy! ;)
"I really like this. Kind of Brubeck meets Bach meets Shostakovitch.. all in the best way possible. Do you have any way to get a live performance? I think it would be very impressive."

Paul Cecchetti replied to Ario's discussion I'd like to share...."Hey man,,,
Couldn't help noticing... You use the same orchestral samples I do- Roland Edirol,, I liked it! I think, as was said before, the dissonances are probably too pronounced, some subtlety would go a long way here. Having said that, it…"
Paul Cecchetti replied to Simon Godden's discussion My "Symphony No 1 - mov 2" (remastered)"no score? ok..
this is good... those slowly transforming chords at the start are pretty haunting- gave me a shiver anyway.. I liked the way you built up tension and restated the beginning with a grander orchestration, nice contrast between solo…"
