A fugue features a single theme, the "subject," that is introduced and then imitated in different voices, creating a complex polyphonic texture. In contrast, a canon involves the repetition of a melody in different voices, with each voice entering at a set time interval and playing the same melody, creating a layered effect. Ultimately, a fugue is more rhythmically and harmonically complex than a canon.
