- A close-up view of a sidewalk featuring two distinct paving styles. The left side displays pink bricks arranged in a herringbone pattern, while the right side consists of gray concrete slabs with a rough texture. A strip of white concrete borders the sidewalk on the far right, framing the edge. This distinctive sidewalk is located in Alderwood Manor, Washington, adjacent to Logan Park.
- Fugue (Wikipedia)
In classical music, a fugue (/fjuːɡ/) is a contrapuntal, polyphonic compositional technique in two or more voices, built on a subject (a musical theme) that is introduced at the beginning in imitation (repetition at different pitches), which recurs frequently throughout the course of the composition. It is not to be confused with a fuguing tune, which is a style of song popularized by and mostly limited to early American (i.e. shape note or “Sacred Harp”) music and West Gallery music. A fugue usually has three main sections: an exposition, a development, and a final entry that contains the return of the subject in the fugue’s tonic key. Fugues can also have episodes—parts of the fugue where new material is heard, based on the subject—a stretto, when the fugue’s subject “overlaps” itself in different voices, or a recapitulation. A popular compositional technique in the Baroque era, the fugue was fundamental in showing mastery of harmony and tonality as it presented counterpoint.
