I believe the answer is:

fugue

(Other definitions for fugue that I've seen before include "Musical composition with a theme repeated and developed" , "Form of musical composition" , "Complex musical form (eg, by Bach)" , "A musical form; a memory loss" , "Composition involving a repeated interwoven melody" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
