THE FUGUE OF TIME Solopiece for two chessplayers in a white room.

Definition of Fugue (musical): Two voices chasing each other. A theme is repeating itself till exhaustion. There is neither a point of stillness nor a cadence in the fugue. Once it began it will continue till the end.

Fugue, lat. fuga = „Flight“
