Improvising Fugue: A Method for Keyboard Artists is a guide for
those who aspire to the highest levels of fluency as inventors of
spontaneous music at the piano, fortepiano, harpsichord, organ, or
digital keyboard. Written for professional performers, conservatory
students, and devoted amateurs, this book leads the reader along
the arduous journey from score dependency to improvisational
freedom. Improvising Fugue begins with a comprehensive course in
18th century Italian partimento, the system of musicianship
training that simultaneously strengthens improvisation,
counterpoint, harmony, keyboard skills, and audiation. The reader
then encounters fugue improvisation in a gradual, methodical, and
rigorous manner. Every concept is accompanied by extensive and
clear explanation, examples from music literature, and practical
exercises. The book covers every aspect of fugue improvisation in
depth, including subjects, countersubjects, tonal and real answers,
episodes, presentations, pedal points, and stretti. Author John J.
Mortensen draws on experience as a concert improviser on the
international stage; the book's pragmatic, real-world instruction
comes from a seasoned performer who knows firsthand exactly what is
required to improvise fugues in the presence of a live audience.
