A somewhat dry pedantic work I know. But I least wanted to provide a corrected version.
corrected for ornamentation and aesthetics
You wouldn't mind if I used this as final boss music in my video game as long as I note you in the credits?
Thanks
In reply to You wouldn't mind if I used by Fugles
Please enjoy and use the music as you see fit...no need to credit, but I appreciate the thought.
Best regards.
Cool, thank you very much

@Fugles.
This is the final, corrected verison in that now at measure 28 the right hand picks up material that had been previously explored by the left hand at ~ measure 17. Nothing else to "correct" at this point. I hope you find the piece useful.

Very well done
How nice!! Very well done!
Just to be pedantic as well, one very little observation: the correct Italian spelling should be "voci" (plural) not "voce" (singular).
If you want to look archaic, you may even use the Baroque spelling "Fuga à 2 voci", with an accent on the 'a': it is an archaic orthography no longer used today (today it would actually be wrong), but common in the XVI - XVIII centuries.
Hoping to hear more 'Baroque' works of yours,
M.
(P.S.: To my ear, in the penultimate measure, the trill on the B sounds a bit odd; shouldn't it be on the G#? For instance, by continuing the descending D C B A semi-quavers and trilling a G# quaver)

I appreciate the kind words. I did confuse voce with voci --- thanks for clarifying that. This version also corrected some of (what I thought) were tiny oversights with respect to contrapunctal grammer.. Actually, I think the piece turned out well and is (hopefully) not all all pedantic and shows a variety of techniques for a "simple" 2 voice fugue.
@ Miwarre ---> As for the final cadence, I see what you mean and I thought about this when writing it. The ornament at the penultimate measure I thought was reflective of the ornamented statement of the subject in the left hand a few measures earlier. To my ear at least I thought it was a satisfactory cadence, but I can certainly see why to someone else I may have committed an aesthetic error --- I hope to do better next time.

Hope to learn it. And, no, I wasn't bored.
