| The coda is that portion of the ''Subject'', by which it is continued after its second compartment; and which serves, at the same time, to prepare the entrance of the response, and to bring the ''Counter-Subject''. | The coda is that portion of the ''Subject'', by which it is continued after its second compartment; and which serves, at the same time, to prepare the entrance of the response, and to bring the ''Counter-Subject''. |

| There are cases where the ''Coda'' itself becomes the commencement of the ''Counter-Subject'', and so intimately joins with this latter, as that the ''Coda'' and the ''Counter-Subject'' form an undistinguished whole. | There are cases where the ''Coda'' itself becomes the commencement of the ''Counter-Subject'', and so intimately joins with this latter, as that the ''Coda'' and the ''Counter-Subject'' form an undistinguished whole. |

| In modern fugues, it is the habit to prolong the ''Coda'' of the ''Response'', before the ''Subject'' re-enters; this plan is wise, and should be maintained. It has the double advantage of causing the re-entrance of the subject to be desired, and of the imparting variety to the composition, by breaking the monotony of subjects and responses too closely brought in; it contributes to the elegance and good conducting of a fugue, and it may also furnish an additional theme to the imitations and digressions. This applies to every kind of fugue, whatever its number of parts. | In modern fugues, it is the habit to prolong the ''Coda'' of the ''Response'', before the ''Subject'' re-enters; this plan is wise, and should be maintained.

| It will be seen here, that the latter example has the advantage; and that the intervention of the coda, between the response and the ''Re-Entrance'' of the subject, has a very good effect. | It will be seen here, that the latter example has the advantage; and that the intervention of the coda, between the response and the ''Re-Entrance'' of the subject, has a very good effect. |
