The texture most common to fugues is polyphony or counterpoint.
A polyphonic or contrapuntal (same thing) means there are two or more melodies of the same importance being played at the same time.
Contrapuntal isn't the same as a polyphonic texture.
Contrapuntal texture describes the melody moving in an opposite direction:
Texture changes how the music sounds... Voila, a beautiful paragraph that describes it :"In music, texture is the way the melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic materials are combined in a composition (Benward & Saker 2003, 131), thus determining the overall quality of sound of a piece. Texture is often described in regards to the density, or thickness, and range, or width between lowest and highest pitches, in relative terms as well as more specifically distinguished according to the number of voices, or parts, and the relationship between these voices (see types of texture below) (Benward & Saker 2003, 131). A piece's texture may be affected by the number and character of parts playing at once, the timbre of the instruments or voices playing these parts and the harmony, tempo, and rhythms used."But if you didn't understand it in the first place, you probably aren't enlightened now. It just depends on how you play something, and it's fairly complex.
real texture
It has a monophonic texture because it consists of a single melodic line. It has no harmony.
monophony
It is polyphonic

The texture is smooth.
Visual Texture is texture that is not touchable but can be seen.
Actual texture is texture which may be physically felt. Implied texture is texture that may be seen only, as in a painting. For instance, while the smooth texture of a statue or the uneven texture of a painter's brushstrokes are actual texture, the rough-appearance of a table in a still life painting is implied texture.
The 3 kinds of textures are: * Visual texture * Artificial texture * True texture
Visual texture
real or actual texture and simulated texture
Actual texture refers to the physical feel of a surface when touched, while visual texture refers to the appearance of a surface that gives the illusion of texture but may not have a physical texture. Actual texture can be felt, while visual texture is perceived through sight.
