In the absence of any definitive theory of fugal form, fugal analysis tends to concentrate on details of contrapuntal procedure, with considerably less emphasis given to formal aspects. This study will focus on the overall form of the fugues in the first book of Das wohltemperirte Clavier. I have proceeded under the assumption that the form of fugal compositions is articulated in essentially the same manner as holds for other genres, and that these formal structures can be ascertained with minimal reference to the technicalitles of fugal and contrapuntal procedure. By this method, it will be found that most of the fugues of WTC I are relatively simple bipartite or tripartite structures, and that there are many structural similarities between them. My investigation of WTC I reveals that the bipartite fugues outnumber the tripartite fugues by more than three to one, possibly as a result of Bach's extensive experience with the composition of stylized suites and dances between 1715 and 1723. Correspondences between the bipartite fugues and binary dance forms are clearly evident. In view of the considerable number of shared formal characteristics and methods of articulation displayed by the fugues of WTC I, it seems evident that Bach composed them with a clear formal plan in mind and that he often desired an effective delineation of the various formal divisions to aid the listener's perception and understanding of this music. / 2031-01-01

This work in three movements is written for piccolo, flute, alto flute in G, oboe, English horn in F, clarinet in Bb, bass clarinet in Bb, contrabass clarinet in Bb, bassoon, soprano saxophone in Bb, alto saxophine in Bb, horn in F, trumpet in Bb, six percussion, violins, violas, and violoncellos. The approximate duration is thirteen minutes. The rhythm of the piece is notated metrically and spatially. Movements I and III employ both types of notation, while movement II is strictly metric. Most of the percussion instruments used in the first movement are capable of sustaining very lengthy notes. Upon the release of these notes they have equally long, if not longer, decay times. As the aural residue of the envelopes dissipates, the strings and winds are used to extend the decay times. At the same time, the varying timbres provide subtle shifts in color, so that the overall effect is one of a very large instrument able to undergo a kin of internal, timbral metamorphosis. In diametrical contrast, the envelopes of movements II and III are compressed to the point of short, individual attacks.

Esta pesquisa investiga a fuga brasileira para piano com o intuito de reconhecer os procedimentos composicionais presentes nesta produção e a influência em suas estruturas resultantes. Foram consideradas 59 fugas para piano compostas entre 1922 a 2009. A partir de um roteiro de análise, procedeu-se a coleta de dados; estes foram analisados no aspecto quantitativo e qualitativo. Neste último, foi verificado o reflexo dos procedimentos composicionais nas estruturas resultantes das fugas. Foi constatado o afastamento da escrita contrapontística em episódios, reexposições e coda, tanto em fugas com sujeito tonal (69%), quanto em fugas com sujeito atonal (31%). Este procedimento foi utilizado ocasionalmente para delimitar seções, intensificando a percepção da estrutura resultante das fugas. Em fugas com sujeito atonal, verificou-se a incidência de entradas do sujeito na última reexposição a partir da altura original da fuga, revelando a aproximação deste procedimento com a polarização típica de fugas exclusivamente tonais. / The purpose of this study is to investigate the compositional procedures used in Brazilian fugues for piano and their influence on the resulting structures. Fifty-nine fugues composed between 1922 and 2009 were included. The scores were collected and analyzed as to their qualitative and quantitative aspects. In the latter, compositional procedures were verified in the resulting structures of the fugues. Non-contrapuntal writing was encountered in the episodes, reexpositions and coda in the fugues containing tonal subjects (69%), as well as in those with atonal subjects (31%). This procedure was also occasionally used to delimit sections, intensifying the perception of their resulting structures. The fugues with atonal subjects proved to have subject entries in their last reexposition at the same pitch as that in the exposition, thus revealing proximity of contrapuntal writing with polarization typical of tonal fugues.
