Yes, and it's interesting to note the ladder-like pattern of the melody in the

Anyway, complex fugues generally employ simple melodic patterns, then, just make
it sound in 3/4 voices at the same time, inverted, bottom-up and so forth.  One
of the most complex was written by Beethoven for the end of his Hammerklavier
piano sonata, the whole work a complete masterpiece.
