A fugue begins with the exposition of its subject in one of the voices alone in the tonic key. [15] After the statement of the subject, a second voice enters and states the subject with the subject transposed to another key (almost always the dominant or subdominant , with the latter being less common), which is known as the answer .
The structure of the fugue is similar to that of sonata form: it has an exposition (bars 1–13), a development (bars 13–41) and a recapitulation (bars 41–48). In the exposition, the subject is stated in the tonic, B-flat major. The second voice enters in the dominant, F major, in bar 5, then the third voice enters in the tonic once again ...

It seems similar to a stile antico, though the structure is modern, with expositions and episodes alternating throughout the fugue. Moreover, the structure uses many modulations, including the modulation to A major in bar 20 and F-sharp minor in bar 27. After the latter modulation, the fugue returns to the tonic key of D major.
Each Prelude is followed by a Fugue in the same key. In each book the first Prelude and Fugue is in C major, followed by a Prelude and Fugue in its parallel minor key . Then all keys, each major key followed by its parallel minor key, are followed through, each time moving up a half tone: C → C ♯ → D → E ♭ → E → F → F ♯ → ...
Fugue No. 8 from Anton Reicha's Trente six Fugues pour le Piano-Forté composées d'après un nouveau systême (subtitled Cercle harmonique) modulates through all keys. The rondo theme of Darius Milhaud's Le bœuf sur le toit is played fifteen times in all 12 major keys (twice in A major and three times in the tonic, C major). It also passes ...
