- Canon 1, Op. 56
[2:4]
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.
