Canon No. 2 for harpsichord


Recommended Posts

It's always nice to see counterpoint.

I like it, indeed. These are only observations:

1. When the "delay" between the main voice and the second on e is large (4 measures) the sense of canon is weaker. It's not bad, at all, only it's what happens.

2. The voices run in parallel more than in contrary motion or similar: it's evidente in m 12, 15.... Perhaps a version trying the canon in inversion ¿?

3. I think (it's my opinion) that repeated short notes it's a bit "distracting". My opinion, I said.

Nice it's in dorian mode (or at least uses D dorian scale).

Agreed.

Also, in general, a canon using repeated notes will stifle the harmonic rhythm and character without the proper support from, which is why an event whenever possible is important. Using the same note in different voices is a good idea, but that can't be done with the same pattern underneath.
