Fugue.
[Chap. XIII.

440. In Haydn's masses we find some excellent examples of florid accompaniments for the violins, generally as variations of the voice parts. As an especially good illustration of this method of accompanying a fugue, we quote the opening of the "Et vitam" of his first mass. We give only the voice parts with the accompaniment of the violins and the basses; the other instruments double the voices, except in a few unimportant notes.
