C.P.E. came across as his father’s son, especially in the intricate double fugue that concludes the piece.

Featuring soprano Sarah Coburn, mezzo-soprano Olivia Vote, tenor Jack Swanson and bass-baritone Matthew Scollin, a last-minute soloist replacement, the group gave a polished performance with the right amount of drama, from the vulnerable a cappella moments all the way through the triumphant double fugue, which showcased the chorus’s impressive technique.

In 1825, Beethoven finished a frantic double fugue for string quartet.

In this case it is balanced by a hefty double fugue, while the textures have a clarity and, in David Goode's performance on the organ of Symphony Hall, Birmingham, a greater crispness, that really do suggest more transparency in Reger's later style.

Thus it was not till the afternoon of the day when the first performance was to take place, that the orchestra, collected at random from all quarters, received the extremely difficult Overture in C major, with the double fugue, and that, moreover, with a thousand metrical errors.
