In music, imitation is the repetition of a melody in a polyphonic texture shortly after its first appearance in a different voice, usually at a different pitch. The melody may vary through transposition, inversion or otherwise, but retain its original character.

this is called a sequence.probie :)----Or, imitation, if it is the same intervallically.Sequence generally is used for segments of a melody that transposes itself either up or down in an even harmonic progression.Imitation can lead to several things in renaissance/baroque/early classical music..1. it's a round [row, row, row your boat]2.
