The answer of Robert Tucker   was rated best

quaver fugue

My comment:

Achtel – quaver or eighth note

Führer – the subject of a fugue
http://www.dolmetsch.com/defsf3.htm

Führer – fugue theme (a melody in the form it appears in first in a fugue)
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrer

... but this says more than it appears to say, since on-flowing quavers have characterized the fugue since the end of the exposition ...
The Organ Music of J.S. Bach by Peter F. Williams

The andante convinces with the skilful, unrushed quaver fugue/theme ?????

The asker's comment:

Thanks a lkot, I'm sue that will fit in my review of a youth orchestra's playing, it is in fact a Mendelssohn piece.
