Sometimes allowed to relax into thematic statement accompanied by chordal texture, thematic statements are less recognizably grouped, episodes less clearly defined, thematic material less economically used. In general, Handel’s treatment of fugue is freer and less rigorous than Bach’s: the part-writing (at least of the keyboard fugues) is often loosely handled, the counterpoint is Handel’s most important contributions to the genre are probably those in the choruses of his oratorios, which differ in only small ways from the keyboardįugues (two of the six keyboard fugues of 1735, for instance, ended up arranged as choruses in Israel in Egypt). Of pieces designated ‘fugue’, the most prominent being the Six Fugues or Voluntarys for the Organ or Harpsichord issued by Walsh in 1735.
