Dum-diddly-dum

Well, I did a lot with music today. I recently got a new performance-quality keyboard, and while I"m still trying to figure everything out, I have managed to record bits and pieces of things.

What I've been working on most recently is a sort-of-a-kind-of-a-fugue, after listening to a bit of Bach. I figured out the left hand of the first part first, and now I'm polishing of the right hand for the same part. I just love fugues, really. They're the most thought-pleasing type of music for me. The way each bit fits together, how the base melody sews itself in....It just makes me happy. So that's how I'm going about composing this. I'm experimenting until I find something that makes me happy. Not the "proper" way, I suppose.

I really need a music theory class.
