"Fugue for J.S. Bach was a natural language; he wrote fugues in organ toccatas and voluntaries, in masses and motets, in orchestral and chamber music, and even in his sonatas for violin solo. The more intimate fugues he wrote for keyboard are among the greatest, most infl uential, and best-loved works in all of Western music. They have long been the foundation of the keyboard repertory, played by beginning students and world-famous virtuosi alike. In a series of elegantly written essays, eminent musicologist Joseph Kerman discusses his favorite Bach keyboard fugues?some of them among the best-known fugues and others much less familiar. Kerman skillfully, at times playfully, reveals the inner workings of these pieces, linking the form of the fugues with their many different characters and expressive qualities, and illuminating what makes them particularly beautiful, powerful, and moving."--Provided by publisher.

"It is sweet and fitting that Joseph Kerman, who has given us such insight into William Byrd, one of music's inspiring octogenarians, should have celebrated his own eightieth birthday by completing this rich and constantly surprising study of Bach's fugues. As ever, Kerman's hearing is sharp, his thinking precise and original, and his prose elegant and sapid. Who would have thought that one could write about fugues with such warmth and love, and with such an exhilarating sense of joy?"--Michael Steinberg, author of The Symphony: A Listener's Guide "Joseph Kerman's writings on Bach are astonishing, stimulating. . . they help the musician and listener to encounter the sometimes impenetrable music of Bach in a way which is marvelous and accessible."--Stephen Kovacevich

Excerpt from The Examination Fugue This is a purely utilitarian book designed entirely to help the candidate over some of the pitfalls he will encounter In dealing with the examination Fugue, and to give him some idea of appropriate style and construction. My only apology for adding to the existing number of books on Fugue is the fact that I have felt the need for some such compilation in my own teaching. The historical and traditional aspects of Fugue may be (and should be) studied in many other books I am not herein concerned with anything but the kind of Fugue which has to be produced, under conditions which generally involve a certain amount of nervous strain, in a maximum time of three hours a Fugue which is likely to present problems which were rarely, if ever, envisaged by Bach who, despite the speed at which he obviously had to work, was not labouring under the handicap of a rigid time-limit. I make no apology for my strictures on the kind of trap subject sometimes set - strictures which might be construed as being uncomplimentary to the devisers of such subjects. While I am in no way opposed to the setting of problems of legitimate difficulty, I feel that it should be a sine qua non that such problems be capable of a really musical solution. This, unfortunately, is not always the case, and one could quote numerous examples of subjects which seem to be designed to find out what sort of a second-rate best the harassed candidate can make of what is in any case bound to be a musically bad job. My thanks are due to Dr. B. Burrows for much invaluable criticism and advice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

From the Preface. This Primer on Fugue is addressed to all who hear or play fugues, as well as to students who desire to write them. To all alike the power of analysing and resolving such compositions into their elementary parts will be found of paramount importance; and this power, it is confidently hoped, will be secured by the careful study of the following pages. It has been assumed that the student already possesses knowledge of, and skill in the practice of, double counterpoint, and that he is familiar with the various forms of imitation; but should any need information on these important branches of musical knowledge, they are referred to the Primer on Double Counterpoint and Canon now in course of preparation. After a preliminary chapter which gives a general idea and explanation of the construction of an ordinary four-voice vocal fugue, and includes definitions of most of the technical terms employed, a separate chapter is devoted to each of the most important divisions, as Subject, Answer, Counter-subject, &c, The several chapters are illustrated by a large collection of examples from the great fugue-writers. The student is very earnestly advised to collect for himself as many other similar examples as possible, being careful, however, to select them only from the best sources, and to classify and arrange them in the manner shown in the Primer. The rules enunciated are in many cases liable to exceptions. This is especially so in the important matter of Answer; still it is believed that the examples selected are of sufficient general application to justify the rules which are given. The collection of fugues in open score at the end of the book will, it is hoped, be found valuable both as contributing to the clear apprehension of the construction of fugue and for the practice of score-reading. The charts which accompany, and are intended to illustrate and explain, the foregoing fugues offer, it is thought, quite a new system of fugal analysis. They have already proved very useful in bringing the plan of fugal structure clearly before the minds of pupils. Students are strongly recommended to transcribe into open score all the fugues they study, and to make charts after the method shown. In the actual practice of fugue-writing it is suggested that the early attempts should, for simplicity, be made without words, although it will be desirable that the parts should be confined within vocal compass and be made after the manner of vocal counterpoint. The limits of a Primer necessarily exclude mention of many of the higher applications of fugal writing. Double fugue has received only a few passing remarks, and space has not been found for any notice of the fugal treatment of the chorale. I cannot close these introductory observations without recording my thanks and sense of indebtedness to Dr. Bridge for many valuable hints and much kind advice of which I have gladly availed myself.

Excerpt from Fugue A fugue subject should be of distinct character, moderate in length and definite as to key and mode, presenting a complete musical idea. A fugue subject generally remains in the original key, but it may modulate to the dominant, or, beginning in the dominant, it may modulate to the tonic; but no other ultimate modulation than that between tonic and dominant or vice verse is permissible. The subject Should not be too wide in compass. A subject of vocal fugue rarely exceeds an octave in compass. Subjects of exceptionally wide compass or great length are not well suited for treatment in a great number of parts. Subjects most often begin on the key-note or the fifth of the scale, but they may begin on any other note. Subjects may begin on any part of the bar, but generally end on an accent. Vocal subjects usually cover, if not an entire sentence of the text, at least a complete member of a sentence. Subjects should be designed for stretto and suitable for episode. A codetta of a few notes often occurs between the end of the subject and the commencement of the counter-subject.

This collection of work by the late Neville Dawes (1926-1984) makes available the fine poems that Dawes wrote, mostly between 1950-1970, some of which appeared in a long-vanished, slim volume, Sepia, published in Ghana in the late 1950s. In the poems, the Marxist, modernist, ideologically committed Neville Dawes returns again and again to Sturge Town, the village of his youth, a world of "ancestral rooting". The collection includes the short stories broadcast on the Caribbean Voices radio programme, justly hailed as special events by such stern editors as Edgar Mittelholzer. There are several pieces of autobiographical writing, which in their insight and humour make one wish that Dawes had written much more in this vein. Lastly there is a section devoted to Neville Dawes's criticism, which reveals him to have been an important and visionary critic on the development of Caribbean writing, the place of Africa in Caribbean culture and the importance of seeing the region whole, across language barriers. Essays on the work of individual writers such as Mittelholzer, Mais, V.S. Reid, Lamming, early Naipaul and Derek Walcott show Dawes as a critic with well-developed ideas about literature in the context of race and class, but also with an acute and generous sensitivity to the literary accomplishments of others. There is also a long introductory essay by Kwame Dawes that brings both a scholar's carefully objective placement of this work in the context of Jamaican and Caribbean writing, and a son's moving and insightful response to his father's work in relation to the triumphs and frustrations of his life.
