About

The Art of Fugue takes its structure from music. Four authors wrote pieces that answer and overlap each other the way voices do in a fugue, and the result is less a game than a set of studies.

Lampward serves the version without music. The scored release is twenty times larger, and its recording carries its own separate licence — the game itself, and this build, are GPL.

    The scored release

    The same game with Daniel Bautista's recording of Beethoven, under CC BY-SA 3.0. Lampward serves the silent build instead, at a twentieth of the size.

Rights to these documents are separate from rights to the game. Lampward links to archives it may not mirror, and says so rather than implying it holds a copy.
