Thanks,
The fugue tempo is critical for a 2 in-the-bar 6/8. I
can take the tempo to quaver = 190 but will it take it
to the gigue tempo? Very 'detache' articulation
though.
The 8th bar as a 'hemiola'? I take this term as an
'up-beat' is this right? The 8th bar contains the
alternating semiquavers. Have you the right bar?
One other point: in the toccata bar 36, RH is the C
chord but the repeat of this phrase in the end (bar
80) is diferent as the c is missing. Is this a copy
error?
