Describe the use of rhythm and metre in J.S Bach's Fugue no.21 in Bb Major BWV 866.

Starts with a simple rhythm composed of quavers and semiquavers. Polyrhythms then emerge as multiple different rhythmic lines emerge. It is in 3/4. Some of the rhythms are syncopated as notes become held over the bar.
