Sentence structure
"What is missing from Kinderman's account is the clearly audible relationship between the open fifths heard six bars before the close of the finale and the C#-maj chord arrived at near the end of the fugue, which is saturated with the sound of the open fifth C#-G# played in three different registers."
In this sentence, does "which" refer to "the C#-maj chord" or "fugue"? Is there a general rule about this? "Fugue" is more proximate to "which".

- Anonymous "Fugue" is more proximate to "which".
- Yes, and proximity wins in this case - simply because I can't see how a major chord can logically be saturated with the sound of an open fifth.
