1). No spam, violence, racism, or other deplorable things are allowed here.

2). Offer criticism and feedback; do not insult the creators or their creations.

3). This subreddit will not allow any modern techniques nor modern ideals to traditional fugal writing. Take this fugue by Shostakovich, for example. Something like this would not be allowed here. While it is a fugue, it does not adhere to traditional means of musical thought. 'Modern' technique refers to modulations to unrelated keys, multiple changes in time signature, and overall atonal subjects.

3a). An example of an acceptable modern-day fugal composition would be some examples: Fugue in A minor by Federico Maria Sardelli, Fugue in D by Grant Colburn, and Mark Moya. <- The subject is by Mark in the last video.

4). The goal is to learn from the great Baroque composers. Don't copy them, but be inspired by them. We are here to encourage ideas based on traditional means. That Bach Emulation Project on Youtube sounds a great deal like Bach, but a good ear can discern the differences.

5). Refer to this article if you have basic fugal questions. Inside the score has a great introductory video also.

6). r/contrapunctus, r/baroque, and r/classicalmusic are good subreddits for discussing counterpoint and Baroque means of creation.

7). New or modern works are welcome on r/composer.There may also be resources on r/musictheory as well.
