Summary of This Method
Complete Fugue Lessons by Marcel Dupré is a two-volume theory method designed to guide the student step by step through the demanding world of the fugue. This first book focuses on the essentials: understanding the internal logic of the fugue and learning how to conceive one, from the initial idea to the organization of entries, answers, and contrapuntal development. The goal is to acquire writing reflexes as well as a more conscious reading of major repertoire works.
Volume 1 emphasizes construction: how to create a subject, how to make it usable, how to articulate the voices and balance polyphonic density. The method also offers practical exercises to anchor the concepts and transform theory into genuine musical skill. For effective independent work, all answers are gathered in the second volume of the series, allowing verification of understanding and methodical progress.
Highly appreciated by organists, this method is more broadly aimed at anyone attracted to composition, analysis, and the tradition of counterpoint. Marcel Dupré (1886-1971), organist and composer, is notably recognized for his in-depth work on the oeuvre of J.S. Bach. This lineage is felt in the rigor and precision of the approach, ideal for developing a solid fugue culture, useful both in composition and performance.
