Fugue in G minor

By: J.S. Bach
form: Fugue
period: Baroque

This piece features a instrumental timbre with and embellished melody with a wide pitch range.  The harmony is exquisite in that it its full and interacts beautifully within itself and the other voices.  It has simple dynamics in that it allows us to experience crescendos in a simple form growing from piano to forte.  The texture is polyphonic and it has a simple fast tempo.  This is a clear baroque piece because A.) its a FUGUE and B.)it has extensive use of imitation when it comes to the "subject".  Great piece.
