>>>One thing for further discussion: the song is not a fugue of course. Not in a formal sense. Does "Fugue" has another meaning in English? Maybe Bone was thinking about the texture in running eights?<<<
I think Bone was referring to a real fugue later in the Meistersinger. But I have never seen the score. Hopefully I will soon. Rob To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
