- Canon 1, Op. 56
[2:11]
The first of six canons written for Organ or Pedal Piano in 1845, this sunny work belies its very strict construction - a canon at the octave
with a 2 beat interval between first and second voice, over a pedal part that shores up the harmony. Since the organ can sustain indefinitely, a few
long notes in the pedal were joined rather than restruck every measure or two. Registration: Right Hand on Hauptwerk (Gamba 8' + Octav 4'); Left Hand
on Hinterwerk (Grossgedeckt 8' + Salicional 8' + Flute D'Amour 4' + Flageolet 2'); Pedal Violonbass 16' + Octavbass 8'.
