Fugue a complex musical composition written for either

instruments or voices

a type of contrapuntal music(music that is able say more than one thing at a time)

a piece where each voice or part enters in successi

with a theme (usually called the subject).


18/44

The finale of Falstaff contains a good example of a fugin action.

This presentation will look specifically at the beginning

of the fugue. Not only is this where erdi introduces tmain musical ideas! but it is also where the fuguemechanics are most visible.

The first section of a fugue is called the exposition.This is simply where the composer exposes the listene

to the main musical ideas.

The first idea is called the subjector fugue subject"it is simply the main theme.


19/44

SubjectThe sub#ect is first sung by the character Falstaff. $e sings th

Everything in the world is a joke. Man is born a jester.

%ince erdi was &talian! his opera is of course sung in &talian.
