LG Fugue Analysis

Today, I am going to be analyzing Lady Gaga's Fugue and comparing it to the Bach's "Little Fugue" in G minor. I will be looking for each subject, and finding out what key it's in. After that, I will answer some questions.

Subjects:

Measure 1: i

Measure 6: iii

Measure 15: i

Measure 24: VII

Measure 26: V

Measure 32: VIIb2

Measure 36: VI

Measure 54: ii

Measure 57: i

2. While examining both Bach's "Little" Fugue and LG Fugue, I found some similarities. One of the major things that I noticed is the form in regards to the key structure. Similar to the LG Fugue, Little modulates to major keys near the middle of the piece and modulates back to the minor keys at the end of the piece. For the most part , the LG fugue does not modulate into different into close keys like Little. Most of the modulations in Little are mostly closely-related keys. 

3. I think that most of the Barque composers would kind of like this piece. While being similar in starting key and form, I think that most of the Barque composers would disagree with some of the modulations (i.e VIIb2).
