Musical composition with a theme or themes repeated and developed (5)

I believe the answer is:

fugue

(Other definitions for fugue that I've seen before include "A contrapuntal musical composition" , "Contrapuntal piece" , "One musical form ..." , "Yearly records" , "Complex musical form (eg, by Bach)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
