Included in this book:

• Views - A set of four different views of the fugue. Subject, Counter-Subject 1, Counter Subject 2 and Episodes View. For each view, the entire fugue is presented where standard-notated notes belong to the current active element while the rest of the notes are shown as ghost-notes (or headless notes) thus, making the appearances of the current element very clear for the student.

• 25 Studies - C minor Studies (scales, harmonic progressions, circle of fifths, pattern in thirds) Closed related keys, Secondary Dominants, Sequences, Syncopations, Rhythmic displacement, Compound Melody, Multiple Voices studies, Preparation studies (preparing subject, counter-subjects, episodes), Combining subject and counter-subject and many more.

• Fugue Variation - At the end of the book, the student will find Bach's original version and a new alternative version, entirely based on the original subject, form and structure, a "What-if-Bach-whould-have...?" version.

The Focus Series... The books in this series consist of a set of studies created to develop the fundamental, technical and theoretical skills to conquer a specific piece, or group of pieces, targeting all challenges involved in said piece, using a practical approach.

In each of these books, the student will learn about the composer's approach to composition, harmonic language, and the process used by said composer when the piece under study was created/written.
