Fugue 9
Specifics
Form AAAA BBAA BBAA,
a ternary form at the large level. Chord Pattern M7-4,
in Diatonic (flattening)
Major, with the central section
in the relative Chromatic (flattening)
Minor m7-4. In the preceding chapters, the S1 and the S2 were
structured on chord patterns of opposite directions;
the melodies of the S1 and S2 were also in contrary motion.
In the M7-4 pattern, we will find two
progression in the same direction,
both flattening; the S1 and S2 melodies will also be in the same
direction. The middle part of the fugue will also be in the same
direction, on the m7-4 pattern.
Subject - the well-known
Ach, du lieber Augustin. Divertimenti in 2 voices with both Subject and
Counter-subject together
Choral Disposition of The Fugue-lines

NOTE the displacement of the MEDIAN
in each bar.
For the strong cadence of the AAAA - Fugue-line 1 with the Orbit-line
1-1 in the Soprano voice, Fugue-line 2 with the
FB in the Bass voice, Fugue-line 3, in the same
direction as Fugue-line 1, in the Tenor voice, and Fugue-line 4 in the Alto voice. The static harmonic Primary
Note lines exposed in the outer voices (S and B) and the kinetic polyphonic Secondary
Note lines concealed in the inner voices (A and T). See the AAAA of the complete fugue.
Divertimenti
The first Divertimento has the Subject in the Tenor
and the Counter-subject in the Alto. The second Divertimento has the Subject in the Soprano
and the Counter-subject in the Bass, with the fifth of each chord added in the Alto. See the Complete fugue.
The Complete Fugue
 
NOTE - the addition of a passing tone at the start
of each Counter-subject to create movement, as well as the 1/8
notes in the following bar; the link between the S1 and the S2
(in the Soprano), where the harmonies change, is not the same as
between the S2 and the CS1 (in the Bass) where one remains on the
TONIC chord; the end of the Counter-subject
will also be slightly changed.
To dispose the central AA, which is in chromatic minor,
no inversion is required since both modes are in the same direction;
only the inversion of the voices S-T and A-B in the last AA.
