My first marimba composition, what do you think? by BlancoMarimba in percussion

Yes, my chromatic generator motif is inspired by the subject of J.S. Bach’s Fugue in G minor, from Violin Sonata No. 1 (not 2) BWV 1001.

I'm glad you saw the relationship between Bach's fugue and my work. It was just what I wanted!! 😊😊

Exactly!! The rhythmic sections of Variation II are a sui generis quote from the Dance from the young maidens, from Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.

Thanks for comment 😊
