Teoh, I bet the answer to your harmony is staring you in the face within your expo.... Post it and lets see if we can find a way of thinking that can illuminate an appropriate way forward. Maybe it’s time for lateral thinking. The simplest of themes for a succesful fractulation Methinks.

For the time being, I'm taking refuge trying to wrangle my Phyrgian dominant fugue, another WIP, but that one's also not going where I want it to. The exposition is IMO quite nicely non-traditional (though it doesn't deviate too far, unlike, say, your bolder harmonic language in your fugues), but having admittedly run out of steam after the exposition, I simply didn't know how to continue without lapsing back to a thinly-veiled guise of traditional harmony. Presently I'm wallowing in self-pity at my inability to make progress on both fronts, but probably the way forward would be to throw out about 1.5 pages worth of painstakingly-written counterpoint and rewrite everything after the exposition. It's not the first time I've done that -- Exuberance, the fugue that y'all were raving about (har har), went through at least 2-3 rounds of this sort of gut-and-rewrite -- but that doesn't make it any less painful this time round. I don't even know what most of this means, so you're doing better than me. What one man attempts and fails - even though you haven't - is what another man couldn't even find the car park for.
