About watching video like that. Yes I do, usually watch them at night time hoping I absorb some knowledge while I sleep. So far it hasn't happened.

You use a lot of 5ths in fugue technique. You do transpose all the time so the starting key is most likely messed up at the second time the theme is played by transporting the key to the 5th of the original key. And then back or to the 5th of that new key too. I really love this stuff but I guess I am not smart enough to make it myself in levels close to these guys.
