#03: 2 part simple fugue in F. Based on theme nr.5 from Albrechtsberger's list. No.3 from Nottebohm's Chapter IV, p.76. Corrected by Albrechtsberger. Here scored for violin doubled by flute and cello doubled by english horn. Dates from about 1794-95.

#07: 2 part simple fugue in F. Based on theme Nr.12 from Albrechtsberger's list. No.7 from Nottebohm's Chapter IV, p.82. Corrected by Albrechtsberger. To indicate the pettiness of some of Albrechtsberger's rules here an example: in bars 23-25 Beethoven has the "boldness" to use the rhythm of a half note tied to an eighth, followed by three eighths. This is forbidden in "Strengen Satz", and they are replaced by 4 quarter notes by Albrechtsberger. Here scored for viola doubled by marimba and cello doubled by vibraphone. Dates from about 1794-95

#08: 2 part simple fugue in B flat. Based on theme Nr.15 from Albrechtsberger's list. No.8 from Nottebohm's Chapter IV, p.84. Corrected by Albrechtsberger. Here scored for crystal and bassoon doubled by harp. Dates from about 1794-95.

#09: 2 part simple fugue in C. Based on theme Nr.16 from Albrechtsberger's list. No.9 from Nottebohm's Chapter IV, p.85. Corrected by Albrechtsberger. According to Albrechtsberger's rules, the second cadenza, which ends the second section of the fugue, has to be on III. Beethoven writes a correct cadenza in e minor, like he had done in all other fugues in the major mode. Albrechtsberger gives an interesting alternative by demonstrating that a cadenza in e phrygian would also have been possible. Here scored for kettledrum doubled by metal pad and viola doubled by ice rain. Dates from about 1794-95.
