About this work
Often called the ‘Little Fugue’, this Fugue in G minor is distinguished above all by the clarity of its subject and the economy of its construction. The opening shape remains recognisable as it changes register, while the answers gradually complete the texture without depriving any voice of independence.
Episodes take fragments of the subject, circulate them through sequences and lead towards new entries. Hearing those transitions prevents the piece from becoming a mere series of thematic returns. Cadences articulate the form while the pedal part anchors the bass and participates fully in the counterpoint.
Mark every entry in the score and first practise the manual voices in pairs. Add the pedals with the same articulation, without systematically accenting their beginnings. Keep a flexible pulse through episodes and use a transparent registration: the subject should emerge through phrasing rather than a sudden increase in volume.
