 Baroque contrasts.
    Clash of the tutti and the concertino, fast and slow parts and dynamics of terraces. Other options are possible: the playfulness vs pathos, sober vs ornate, etc.

Questionnaire (Unit 9 Day 3 - Thirty Fifth Lecture of 3ESO)

Elements and parts of the Fugue.
    The subject, the answer and countersubject form the thematic core. When the fugue does not sound as such we can find bridges, diversions, and estretos with pedal note.
    

Fugue is a polyphonic composition based on imitative counterpoint, in which a melody is systematically subjected to imitations and modifications of such luck that produces the feeling that the Subject or Main Melody seems pursued by himself.
