Parts of a Fugue
A. Main Idea of the Fugue and How It Is Stated
Subject: Melody that comprises the primary melodic/rhythmic material of the fugue. Subjects typically have two parts: the "head" is calculated to attract attention either by unusual rhythmic or intervallic emphasis, while the "tail" is typically more conjunct, rhythmically uniform, and sometimes modulatory. The head and/or tail itself may employ variation of one or two smaller motives or figures...each comprised of a characteristic rhythm and/or interval.
Answer: Subject imitation which immediately follows the first statement of the subject: in a different voice and usually fifth higher. Answers are a subclass of subjects which bear certain interval characteristics in relationship to the subject as it was originally stated.
Tonal Answer: An answer that typically (though not always) stays in the same key as the subject. To do this it is necessary for the intervals of the subject to change somewhat. In a tonal answer "do" and "sol" switch places: The position occupied by "do," in the subject, becomes "sol" in the answer and vice versa. Analytical technique: Subjects having many skips (disjunct) that focus upon the tonic and dominant scale degrees lend themselves to a tonal answer.
Real Answer: An answer that is a transposition of the subject to another key, usually the dominant. Analytical technique: Subjects having mostly steps (conjunct) that don't focus upon "do" and "sol" lend themselves to a real answer.
Countersubject: Substantive figure that sometimes recurs immediately following the subject or answer (in the same voice). Countersubjects serve as counterpoint to subjects (or answers) sounding simultaneously in a different voice. Not every fugue will have a countersubject. Some fugues may have more than one countersubject.
False Subject: Some people use the term "false subject" to describe an entry of the subject (or answer) that begins but never finishes. This term should be reserved for instances where the subject appears to enter, breaks off, then follows immediately with a complete statement. Most other instances of incomplete subjects are developmental and should be termed "imitation."
B. Main Sections of the Fugue
Exposition: Portion(s) of the fugue consisting of subject(s) with at least one answer, and possibly countersubject(s). To qualify as an exposition, the subject (or answer) must appear in all voices and answers must be in the proper relationship (tonal or real) to subjects. The exposition normally concludes immediately after the subject (or answer) appears in the last voice. Expositions may defer the cadence until after a codetta. Differentiation between exposition subtypes is based upon the order in which voices enter (as compared to the first exposition) and whether or not the subject has changed.
Re-Exposition: An exposition, following the initial exposition, in which the voices enter in the same order as the first exposition.
Counterexposition: An exposition following the initial exposition in which the voices enter in a different order than they did in the first exposition, or the subject of the new exposition is a contrapuntal variation of the original.
Double Exposition: Exposition utilizing a brand new subject (i.e. not contrapuntally derived from the first). If the new subject is unique, then the fugue is a double fugue (or, in the case of three subjects, triple fugue).
Developmental Episode: Section in which motives from the exposition are treated in sequence, modulation, contrary motion, double counterpoint, stretto, augmentation/diminution, pedal, etc. Episodes are generally terminated by a cadence and may follow one after the other. Developmental episodes characteristically begin by departing from the subject, to fragment or vary it in some way, but gradually building up to a restatement of the subject in at least one voice. These statements of the subject are typically not in the tonic/dominant relationship of the exposition and are called "middle entries" (or in German Durchführung). Episodes typically do not enunciate the subject in all voices.
Coda or Codetta: Concluding segment of a section (codetta) or of the entire fugue (coda). Codas and codettas often sound as if they are something added after the structural end of the section or work. The function of codettas is often modulatory (to return the tonality to the key of the subject after an answer at the dominant). Not all fugues have these. -

You forgot polyphonic texture.
Did u copy that from sumwhere?
Sounds familiar

well, my teacher says: No keywords, no marksOriginally posted by Mr Fugue:Note: I was discussing polyphony in DETAIL. see the contrapuncal devices. -
contrapunctal devices:
contrary motion (retrograde), double counterpoint, stretto, augmentation/diminution, pedal[point]...etc. -
polyphonic is merely an adverb to describe the texture.Originally posted by finoq:well, my teacher says: No keywords, no marks
adverb = no marks. -

Oh I see. Thanks for the clarification. But why the notoriety? From my re-collection, I don't remember reading brutal posts, perhaps some "street fighter" posts but all for the name of fun, right? I am not a "street fighter" poster but do admire people who can do it with class. I guess the main thing is know the boundaries.Originally posted by Mr Fugue:1st registered nick = fugue (banned)
