Hi there,

I was playing around with FTS today and it suddenly came
up with this fugue in nineteen equal

Not one in a formal sense of course, but with a feeling of one somehow,
with ideas being thrown about from one part to another,
if one imagine one joined it in the middle of a very free section.

N.B. they put it up within about an hour of uploading it today!

Thanks for the encouragment!

I really do feel FTS did it somehow - I just typed in some numbers and
changed a few parameters, and suddenly it produced this. At a guess, I
prob. spent about ten minutes on it in total! (But FTS did zillions of
calculations of course)

Probably if I'd gone on tweaking things for hours I could only
have made it worse!
