‘would produce an additional Fibonacci division in Fig. 4a); finaly, there are 88 bars,
‘ot 89, in the movement. Lendvai’s footnoted explanation that the movement ‘must
be completed by a whole-bar rest, in accordance with the Bilow analyses of Beet-
hoven’ (1971: 28) is unconvincing, since in this movement the final bar, marked '} ,
contains only ten quaver beats to balance the anacrustic quaver at the start of
‘movement, forming a closed system. Thus four adjustments must be made to Fig. 4a
‘to make it exact as shown in Fig. 4b. Since anacruses in this movement (including that
to b.1) belong musically with their following bars, numbers of completed bars in the
diagram exclude any anacruses phrased over to the next bar; this also accords
proportionally with the presence of an anacrusis to b. 1 and the missing last quaver in
bar 88:

(1973) and Kramer (1973) also identify these discrepancies, and Fennelly
notes the opening four-bar sequences of the Fugue. Kramer concludes that the
Fugue’s proportional tendencies are therefore ‘a less significant structural force than
in other works . . .” (1973:120). Yet, as with the scheme seen in Fig. 3 above, the
larity and force of this overall shape suggest the opposite, despite the inaccuracies.
‘Why the inaccuracies, then?
‘Two alternative methods of counting can be considered. First, because bar lengths
vary constantly, the movement can be counted by quaver beats. These total 705,
yielding a golden section of 436, which falls after the second quaver of b. 54. This is
almost two bars away from the climax, whereas, counting by bars, golden section of
£8 gives 54.4 — less than two-thirds of bar from the climax. Nor do the intermediate
divisions produce more accurate proportions when counted by quavers. The second
‘method is applied by Solomon (1973:140-53). He observes Lendvai’s discrepancies
