Robert Schumann: Canon 1 from Opus 56 (C Major)
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. Virtually performed by James Pressler using
samples from The Bamboe organ of the Protestant
community of Roeselare Belgium (1995), available at
