Heres what to listen for in the four-part fugue Contrapunctus I, from the Art of Fugue, by J. S. Bach.
There are also sections of a fugue called episodes in which neither the subject nor the answer is
played. Here are examples of episodes: [0:38 0:51]; and this: [1:211:29]; and here: [1:401:51];
and, finally, this episode: [2:192:25].

polyphony. You will also hear episodessections with contrasting music in which neither the
subject nor the answer is played.
