"Thanks for the compliment, Gx; I'm glad at least one person caught on to the humor. 😂 This is the first time in my fugues where I have subject entries that are an 8th note off-beat. The result was unexpectedly humorous, which I capitalized on…"
"Thanks for posting this, Mike. Sorry for not replying earlier; I was on the road with limited internet access until now.

"Yes Ollie, some good points imo. There is no correct way, only the way that works for you. The thrust of my argument is that one finds and hones a more profound musical self as one learns and integrates technique as the foundation for expressive…"
