A stretto is a musical term that refers to a section in a composition where the themes or motifs are presented in close succession, often overlapping each other. This technique is commonly used in fugues to create a sense of urgency and intensity. In a stretto, the entries of the subject or theme occur more rapidly than in earlier sections, heightening the dramatic effect of the piece. It is a key feature in Baroque music, particularly in the works of composers like J.S. Bach.
