I need your help !
Hi. I'm writting some invention in d minor. I want to write fugue to this invention, but i haven't idea to theme to fugue.
For help here you have d minor key with varieties dorian, eolian or chromatic.
If you want to help me, write in MuseScore thmem for fugue, add here and I finish it.
For more topics, I will choose one and some others I will add as contrapunct.
I'm waiting for your themes.

"...a subject should be long enough to give the feeling of being an actual line instead of a figure, but not so long that the listener will have difficulty in retaining it. The average length of the subjects in the WTC is about two measures." : (1999) Kent Kennan, -Counterpoint, Fourth Edition-, Prentice-Hall: New Jersey. page 203.
If you don't have this book already I suggest you purchase it. It will tell you everything you need to know about writing Inversions, Canons, Fugues, etc.
Look at examples of fugue subjects and their answers. There is lots of sheet music that you can download off the net where much of them are for free if you know where to look.
In reply to "...a subject should be long by Sphyther
ok, thanks for advice.
But I do exercise to write fugues, and I give to my teacher to check it.
