Very nice. And at least I found the name of the Nokia tune composer: Francisco
Tarrega. Of course, it's just a melody line from some music he wrote.

I guess they don't invent new notes any more, eh? ;-)
It just amused me that somebody would sit down to write a fugue out of 3
notes...

Yes, and it's interesting to note the ladder-like pattern of the melody in the
graphics. :)
Anyway, complex fugues generally employ simple melodic patterns, then, just make
it sound in 3/4 voices at the same time, inverted, bottom-up and so forth. One
of the most complex was written by Beethoven for the end of his Hammerklavier
piano sonata, the whole work a complete masterpiece.

I tent to wonder at what point this all becomes a theoretical exercise
rather than a sound that's actually enjoyable to listen to.
Bach's Toccata and Fugue is very nice, but it's frustratingly difficult
to play it in a way that it sounds impressive to the casual ear. If
you're a musician learning to play it, it sounds fantastic. If you're
just listening to it being played... the genius of it doesn't really
come across all that much.

I rather think it's the other way around. It starts out as a theoretical
exercise and the geniuses manage to make something enjoyable to listen to.

The _geniuses_ do, yes. It takes true genius to do it though.
I don't know. Some of the purportedly "genius" compositions I've heard
orchestras play actually sounded pretty lame...
