Fugue 53? Do check out my others - some of them are almost decent..!

It works OK as a fugue subject, but the chord pattern i v VI V/V (III) isn't theoretically ideal, but does allow for modulations to occur with little fiddling. Saying that, I wanted to avoid constant tertiary modulation. One day I may go back and analyse all my fugues and write a detailed analysis on my thought process for each, but until people actually start asking, it's a waste of time typing what people are not going to read - especially with an average view count of c.50, and not all viewers watch until the end...

What is a fugue:
In short: a fugue is a compositional style that follows certain rules. It was particularly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. J. S. Bach is regarded as one of the best fugue-writers of all time. It is a style I've had a fascination with ever since hearing fugues being played on the organ - and since I first learnt to play them aged ~12/13.
