counter- +‎ exposition

counterexposition (plural counterexpositions)

  1. An exposition that responds to, or counters, another exposition.
    • 2009, Peter Hitchcock, The Long Space: Transnationalism and Postcolonial Form, page 222:
      The process, repeated, forms an exposition answered with a finale or counterexposition. The root of fugue is flight or fleeing and in musicology is eventually connected to a flight of fancy that brings us back to fantasia.
