The Ligeti Requiem's Kyrie doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet.
I mentioned it. I think it was the first thing I mentioned, actually. ;D
Beethoven's Op. 133 -- A fugue so bad that even Beethoven himself called it "Grosse".

If we're to be pedantic, it's an arrangement of a movement from the First Quartet, which was written in the 19th century.

Pedantry or no, I find this sort of footnote of interest.

Ah, so I see. Oh well, it deserves to be mentioned twice.  0:)

"Cool" from West Side Story is supposed to be a fugue (in any case it's one of my favorites from WSS)
aside:  Guys and Dolls: Fugue for Tinhorns

more relevant:  RAVEL Le Tombeau de Couperin, piano version  first 2 movements are a prelude and fugue
