Utilises Schenkerian techniques to explore the relationship between imitative counterpoint and voice-leading in fugue. Renwick shows that the art of fugal composition as practiced by masters such as Bach and Handel involves a remarkable degree of systematic structural patterning that is not evident on the surface of the music.
