Fugax Contrapunctus Posted April 29 Posted April 29 (edited) This canon is based on each of the four contrapuntal transformations of a single dodecaphonic series, initially highlighted in colours corresponding to each of the 12 notes of the tone row. As showcased in the video, said transformations are presented and organized within the melodic line as follows: Original Tone Row - Retrograde - Inverted - Inverted Retrograde. Even though as a perpetual canon it could technically go on forever and always end up in the same pitch, only two complete repetitions of the whole line are shown here: first the one with highlights and labels for each of the transformations amidst the contrapuntal scaffolding, and lastly the one without any of said indicators. A more tonal-sounding plagal-ish cadence has also been included as a small coda at the end, once the cello completely finishes playing the bass line's 2nd repetition. Enjoy!
