For example, in the USSR you had service jobs but reading was commonplace. There was great knowledge of literature and philosophy among the people due to mass libraries, guided reading programs and Palaces of Culture. They built libraries in workplaces.
Decades of not exercising the organ of thought leads to a reduction in its faculties. The same as any other organ.
No occupation causes this like office jobs. But, I think the state is more to blame, and its preference for the people to be uneducated and servile.
My belief is that when Bach changed a leap of a 2nd into a 3rd in the answer it was due to him subdividing the octave. so you have a 5th, 4th, and then 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, 3rd, 2nd. This is rare and usually follows as a result of a 5th into 4th leap.
In Fux's untranslated parts on Musica Practica, he explains that what distinguishes Fugue from Imitation is adherence to the Mode - the bounds of an octave and its division into a 5th and a 4th. So, if the first part leaps a fifth, the following part must leap a fourth.
Therefore the Tonal answer explanation invented by post-bach music theorists completely misses the point of what actually separates a fugue from imitation, and the logic behind changing intervals in the following parts. Bach adheres to this in practically all of his fugues.
@LIBERTYMAXXING mob rule isn't communism, its democracy in the 19th century context. Its critics were ultimately correct in predicting the tyranny it would lead to.
I am mourning my broken Huawei which had an additional camera for zoom. The old iphone I’m using now just crops the image when you zoom which reduces the definition, so it is difficult to capture details.
