Fugue is example of a cv derived from another recent cv. It will be interesting to find more of these pair-inspired cvs one leading to another by different author within a year's time. Fugue of course comes out of earlier Rococo.

Immediately I realized 23/47 is not random at all, but the ratio of Queen to W. Amazon,
