A fugue is a piece of music built around one small tunefugue是一種建立在一段小小旋律上的樂曲。The tune starts in one voice or one instrument, alone這段旋律先由一個聲部或一種樂器獨自開始。
Then another voice plays that same tune, often a little higher or a little lower, while the first voice keeps going with new notes. More voices can join. They seem to run after one another, in and out, in different keys.
Then another voice plays that same tune接著另一個聲部會彈奏同樣的旋律，often a little higher or a little lower通常音高會高一點或低一點，while the first voice keeps going with new notes同時第一個聲部繼續往下發展出新的音符。More voices can join可以有更多聲部加入。They seem to run after one another, in and out, in different keys它們聽起來就像互相追逐，忽進忽出，在不同的調性之間穿梭。
The name carries that picture: it was borrowed from French fugue, from Italian fuga, “flight,” from Latin fuga, “the act of fleeing,” from fugiō, “to flee.” The first part sets off on its course; the later parts chase it.
The name carries that picture這個名字本身就帶著那個畫面：it was borrowed from French fugue, from Italian fuga, "flight," from Latin fuga, "the act of fleeing," from fugiō, "to flee."它是從法文fugue借來的，法文又來自義大利文fuga（「飛」），再往上追溯到拉丁文fuga（「逃跑這件事」），源頭是fugiō（「逃跑」）。The first part sets off on its course第一部分率先出發；the later parts chase it後面的部分則在追趕它。
Bach wrote many famous fugues. This is a serious, classical-music word. A pop song is almost never a fugue, even if a bit of the song copies the same idea for a few seconds.
Bach wrote many famous fuguesBach（巴赫）寫過許多知名的fugue。This is a serious, classical-music word這是一個嚴肅的古典音樂用詞。A pop song is almost never a fugue一首流行歌幾乎不可能被稱作fugue，even if a bit of the song copies the same idea for a few seconds就算歌裡有一小段模仿了同樣的概念也一樣。
Though actually, doctors also use fugue for a rare state where a person leaves their ordinary life for a while and cannot remember — same spelling, very different meaning. This page is the music one.
Though actually, doctors also use fugue for a rare state不過，醫生也會用fugue來指一種罕見的狀態：where a person leaves their ordinary life for a while and cannot remember一個人暫時離開自己原本的生活，而且完全不記得——same spelling, very different meaning拼法一樣，意思卻完全不同。This page is the music one這個詞條講的是音樂的那個意思。
組成Borrowed from French fugue, from Italian fuga (“flight, ardor”), from Latin fuga (“act of fleeing”), from fugiō (“to flee”); compare Ancient Greek φυγή. The first part starts alone and is pursued by later parts. Doublet of fuga.
