Table of ContentsReviewsFuga as described in this book is not a specific form or genre but rather the free type of imitative counterpoint that became central to serious composition in the later Renaissance. The author, who has previously given us a comprehensive study of the theory of fugue, here traces its origins and initial development clearly and concisely, first in vocal works, then in instrumental ones. He illustrates his discussion with a wealth of examples - which alone are worth the price of the book - expertly explicating details while placing each item in its broader music-historical context. -- David Schulenberg, Professor of Music, Wagner College Author InformationPaul Walker, Professor of the Practice Emeritus, University of Notre Dame Paul Walker is Professor of the Practice Emeritus, University of Notre Dame.
