No Innocent Victim - Ready to Fight

CODETTA (ital. Codetta, diminutive of coda, see Code). 1) In the exposition of the fugue, a modulating one-voice connection between the topic and the opposition to the entry of the answer in the next voice. K. turns out to be necessary in cases where the last sound of the topic cannot be directly combined with the first sound of the answer in view of the harmonics that arise between them. contradictions. K. also meets before the entry of the 3rd voice (two-voice), before the entry of the 4th voice (three-voice). Specially developed K. (usually before the 3rd and before completing the topic) are often called interludes. All connecting constructions outside the exposition have the same name. Some authors (E. Praout) call the connecting constructions inside the parts of K.'s fugue, and between the parts - interludes. 2) The code is small. V.P. Bobrovsky.
