Fugue

"Fugue" by Ebenezer Prout is a comprehensive theoretical and practical guide to the musical form known as the fugue. Aimed primarily at music students and composers, the book explores the structural, harmonic, and contrapuntal principles of fugue writing. Prout provides historical context, detailed analyses of famous fugues (especially by J.S. Bach), and step-by-step instructions on composing in this complex and disciplined form. The book is both instructional and analytical, blending music theory with practical application.
"Fugue" is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1891.
