John La Montaine's Twelve Relationships for Piano Solo consists of twelve short canons: Bold and Plain, Teasing, Plaintive, Bittersweet, Wayward, Saucy, Entreating, Piquant, Brooding, Spirited and Jubilant. It was originally composed in 1965. A canon is the strictest form of composition, in which two or more parts take up in succession exactly the same musical subject. Each of the canons in Twelve Relationships is at a different interval. That is, the second entrance of the subject begins on a different note in each canon, and that note is always different from the first entrance. Twelve different intervals are utilized in the twelve canons. Each of these canons is strict in its succession of intervals from the first note to the last. The first canon is at the octave and therefore in one and the same key. All of the others at different intervals, since they are strict, are simultaneously in two different keys. There is no other known set of canons so composed. The title Twelve Relationships may be understood in two senses. One refers to the form, the intervallic relationships mentioned above. The other refers to the content, that is, to the psychological relationships that are implied by the titles of the individual canons and which form the musical substance of the pieces. Jocelyn Mackey (Pan Pipes, music critic): Twelve Relationships contains twelve two-part canons with titles like, Plaintive, Sprightly, Saucy, Brooding. The first, Bold and Plain, is composed with imitation at the fifth, while a different interval is used in each of the other eleven. Just as the Well-Tempered Clavier contains preludes in each possible key, each possible interval of imitation is used in this set of canons. Amazing contrapuntal skill..

Bartók's Mikrokosmos has been one of the milestones in pedagogical piano repertoire for 80 years - and yet it is also far more than a classical piano primer. These 153 piano pieces, organized in ascending order of difficulty, engage not only with technical aspects of piano playing but also with the fundamentals of composition - from Imitation and Inversion, Ostinato, and Free Variations, concerning compositional technique, to mood pieces and pieces with programmatic ideas such as Notturno, Boating, From the Diary of a Fly, or the famous Six Dances in Bulgarian Rhythm. Mikrokosmos first appeared in 1940 in six volumes. Based on volume 40 of the Bartók CompleteEdition published in 2020(Z. 15040), the present Urtext edition offers the series gathered in three volumes. This edition includes Bartók's preface, exercises, and notes written for the first edition. Furthermore, it also features a preface and comments by the editor, which not only discuss the genesis and the compositional sources but also provide performers, teachers and pupils alike, with authentic and detailed information about Bartók's notation and the specific performing problems of Mikrokosmos.

Symphony No. 44 is one of a number of Haydn’s middle period works often regarded as representing the so-called Sturm und Drang (‘Storm and Stress’) style of melodramatic realism taken over from contemporary German literary and dramatic models. The symphony is monotonal – each movement being in the same key, with contrast provided by excursions into the tonic major. Contrapuntal writing pervades the whole work; the second movement, unusually, is a minuet and is a strict double canon at one bar’s interval (‘Canone in Diapason’ is Haydn’s term) which itself is contrasted by the lyrical Trio section in the tonic major. The third movement, an Adagio in the tonic major, prompted the symphony’s long-adopted soubriquet, ‘Trauer’ (‘Mourning’) as it was said to have been requested by the composer himself to be played at his own funeral.2 The monothematic contrapuntal Finale reverts to the tense emotional level of the opening Allegro.

Chaque pièce, vendue à l’unité, a fait l’objet d’un travail éditorial attentif, tant sur le plan de l’établissement du texte musical que de sa gravure, afin de garantir aux musiciens les conditions indispensables aux plaisirs tirés du commerce fréquent de ces œuvres.

Jean Sebastien Bach a écrit 15 Inventions à deux voix (BWV 772-786) et 15 Inventions à trois voix (BWV 787-801) qu'il a nommées Sinfonias. Il les publie en 1723 à Cöthen. Ce sont des ouvrages didactiques. Avec ces trente inventions Bach vise surtout à instruire et à mettre en place une méthode pour les enfants. Il exprime sa pensée en préface dans un des manuscrits autographes des Inventions : « Méthode sincère destinée aux amateurs, aux apprentis pour leur apprendre à jouer correctement à deux parties, à procéder ultérieurement juste et bien avec deux ou trois parties obligées, à avoir de bonnes inventions, acquérir une manière chantante de jouer, ainsi qu'un avant goût de la composition ».
Ainsi les morceaux sont groupés suivant l'ordre des demi-tons de la gamme et non pas selon la complication croissante des tonalités. Chaque invention a un seul motif thématique. Ce motif peut être agrandi en thème et par la suite, mené en contrepoint avec d'autres petits motifs et la recherche d'un équilibre rigoureux dans chaque invention est une grande difficulté qui peut dépasser la compréhension d'un pianiste novice. Bach intègre dans ces morceaux toute une panoplie de procédés techniques comme le canon, le contrepoint, la complexité de la composition nécessitant l'utilisation de la pédale harmonique et la façon d'ornementer un motif thématique.
On peut entrevoir dans ces Inventions une manière de synthétiser sa méthode de travail et une initiation à l'écriture musicale.
Sur un rythme binaire à 3/4, Bach montre un côté joyeux et léger dans ce morceau. Un canon à l'octave est le point central de cette Invention n°8. Ce passage est entrecoupé de moments musicaux qui se présentent sous forme de courbes mélodiques à la tierce entre les deux mains ou de marches harmoniques descendantes.
Pas une note, ni phrase mélodique, ni procédé d'écriture qui ne soient indispensables dans cette miniature. Rien de superflu n'encombre les dessins mélodiques. Tout est épuré pour ainsi révéler des instants de climats agréables et fugitifs d'une grande sensibilité pour l'interprète.
