The works of
the "Guide to the Canon"
and the "24 Canonical Variations " for the study
and application of the "Guide
to the Canon" were completed
by the Master after many years of research.
They allow you to easily solve problems of counterpoint on "fixed part". This had never been
revealed before in more than seven
centuries of musical history (from the fourteenth century to the present day). The Master created an
original method for the composition of canons, with examples from 2 to 8 voices, which fully permits to understand
the works passed on in the whole tradition of counterpoint. He
devised mathematical tables,
which from their conception onwards have
fed lots of students by revealing the hidden mystery
of our ancestors. The use of these guides
can quickly direct
a musician to the knowledge of
all possible technical solutions, now no longer subject
to solely personal intuition or
empirical attempts, and in each
specific situation it can make a composer able to choose from virtually unlimited possibilities. These guides have proven
to be indispensable to solving
innumerable problems and reveal the extraordinary musical possibilities
of the composition technique called canon, which
includes centuries-old traditions
and outstanding examples
of the great
geniuses of music to nowadays.
