What is a "fugue"?
A fugue is a type of musical composition characterized by the systematic repetition and development of a main theme, called the "subject". In a fugue, the subject is introduced by one voice or instrument and then imitated and elaborated upon by others in a series of overlapping entries. This intricate process creates a complex and interwoven texture. Fugues often have multiple voices or parts, each contributing to the development of the theme in a structured and counterpoint-rich manner.
