Specifics
Form AAAA BBAA BBAA, a ternary form at the large level, in which the first AAAA and the last BBAA will cadence strongly, but not the first BBAA. Chord Pattern M6-4 - In the first five chapters, we had only TONIC and DOMINANT chords in our Expositions, with the S1 and S2 centered around the COMMON TONE, degree 5 of the scale. We now have the COUNTER/TONIC progression answered by DOMINANT/TONIC, with the S1 and S2 centered around the the complete TONIC chord, degree 3 of the scale. Subject, the beginning of Frère Jacques, with principal Orbit Line 3-2 and auxilary Orbit Line 0-0. Counter-subject with principal Orbit Line 2-1 and auxilary Orbit Line 1(3)-2. NOTE that both the Subject and the Counter-subject have Orbit 2 on the Beat, but the Subject has it on the first and the Counter-subject on the second .
A 12-bar fugue (in 4/4 meter), with a half-bar at the beginning and a half-bar at the end.
Choral Disposition of the Fugue Lines

Divertimenti
Since the S1 starts on a COUNTER chord, the Divertimenti must end on the TONIC, thus a half-circle starting on a Dominantized ANTE-2 (D7), using the S2, see the complete Fugue (below). The habitual inversion (T-S, A-B) will produce the second Divertimento.
The Complete Fugue

NOTE the words - The Subject uses the words of the first line of the song, while the Counter-subject uses the words of the third line, and the "X"s use the fourth line. NOTE the Pick-up into each Divertimento in the Alto and Bass voices with the notes A-G-F#. NOTE in the Soprano voice the notes C-C-C at the end of the AAAA, but the notes C-C-F at the end of the second AA at the end, to make a difference between the two strong cadences.
