Are the elaborate fugue parts in Bach's WTT heterophonic? --Ed Poor Talk 18:21, 25 May 2009 (EDT)
- No, they're polyphonic. The difference is, heterophony is based on a single melody with several ornamented versions going on at once, whereas polyphony means several fully distinctive melodies. JDWpianist 18:33, 25 May 2009 (EDT)
