2 Part Fugue in E phrygian, Hess 236 nr.2 (Corrected by Albrechtsberger)(mp3)

2 part simple fugue in E phrygian, Hess 236 nr.2

No.2 from Nottebohm's Chapter IV, p.75. Corrected by Albrechtsberger. Based on theme Nr.4 from Albrechtsberger's list. If you think the entry of the 2nd voice sounds odd, then congratulations! You have good ears. What you've spotted is the oddity of the phrygian mode. Here scored for harpsichord and Nylon-string Guitar. Dates from about 1794-95.

Hess: 236
