Johannes Löhner’s dazzling Foxtrot Fugue, composed when he was 25 years old. A multifunction composition par excellence, this strict 3-part fugue with everything from stretto to episodes plays with the idea of what a subject should be. Beyond all sillyness, however, it is a serious technical study in double notes, a set of variations, with Scarlatti and Thalberg effects to boot, and a thrilling encore piece that will challenge any virtuoso. It proves that being original, being serious, being traditional, being technical, and having a sense of humor, are not mutually exclusive.
