| And Handel was no less rigorous and independent in his exploitation of fugal material by inferior composers. |
| In the second movement, for example, it appears pretty much as itself, while in the trio of the scherzo third, Antheil transforms it into a fugal subject. |
| Only during the fugal finale do the singing, acting, and stage conception come together to move the listener and to convince him how great this opera really is. |
| If she conceives of it as a fugue, she uses techniques of counterpoint and fugal structure to make the piece. |
| At the premiere Handel gave an organ extemporisation on the fugal subject taken up by the choir. |
| He excelled the skills even of Frescobaldi in the manipulation of fugal devices such as countersubject, stretto and sustained pedalpoint. |
