Is it inverting it?
-
Yeah,it's just inverting it.
-
It is taking the intervals and flipping them
-
and that's what composers love to do with fugues,
-
and I'll be talking about interchangeable parts,
-
reciprocal relationships with the mathematical quality of fugues.
-
And so that's what's happening here.
-
We have a moment of melodic inversion.
-
And sometimes in fugues--
-
and Bach's did this in the musical offering--
-
he can take his fugue subject and run it backwards
-
from beginning to end
