Fugue
A fugue is built from one short melody, the subject, which enters in one voice alone and is then taken up by each of the other voices in turn while the earlier voices continue with new counterpoint. That opening round of entries is the fugue's exposition. What follows alternates episodes, where the subject is absent or only hinted at, with further entries of the subject in new keys.
