Course Content (Syllabus)
Through a process of combining lecturing with weekly exercises, the course's progress covers the following subjects: theory and basic principles of tonal counterpoint, counterpoint species, embellishment techniques, imitation, subject / answer / countersubject (theory), structure and developement of fugal sections (exposition, episodes, codettas, stretto sections). Representative works, especially by J. S. Bach, are analysed throughout all lectures. The final aim of the course is that the student should be able to compose a full three-part fugal exposition followed by a modulatory episode.
