Fuga I

(A recommended performance of Fuga I can be found at this YouTube Link, 6:53-9:02. Video permissions prevent if from being embedded on the database)

Fugue / Motif: The fugal subject begins with four repeated notes. After several entrances of the subject, these four notes turn into a motif, detached from the fugal subject. 

Listen to Fuga I, and count how many times you hear the four note motif!
