Musical composition popular in the Baroque period (5)

I believe the answer is:

fugue

(Other definitions for fugue that I've seen before include "Contrapuntal music" , "Strict musical form" , "Form of musical composition" , "Contrapuntal work" , "A musical form; a memory loss" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
