corrected fugue to allow for just two voices (like WTC1#10)

Hi Brian - my old lecturer on musicology argued that WTC1:10 was not actually a fugue, but just a counterpoint. But then Bach is famous and he's not. There are some other examples - Corelli and Striggio wrote 2 part "fugues" as well. Anyway, I adjusted the article to reflect that fugues are "generally" expected to have 3 or more voices, with some exceptions. Oh and welcome to the 'pedia! I'm sure you'll meet Axel soon, if you haven't already. Regards Manning
