The main musical idea is introduced in one voice. This musical idea is called the subject. A voice can be a voice part in the choir, an instrumental section in the orchestra, or one area of the keyboard. After the first voice performs the subject, it continues on with its own melody and a second voice begins the subject, then the third voice, and finally a fourth voice. When all four voices are playing there is a lot going on musically. Each voice begins with the same melody so it is easy to identify when they start playing the subject, but then each voice quickly begins to play a melody that is independent from the other voices. It is almost like a lot of people talking at once and you must listen very closely to hear what each voice is saying.
