Compared to most other major composers, Johann Sebastian Bach's life and career were confined to a very limited geographical space. Born and raised in Thuringia, he never went farther north than Hamburg and Lübeck, or farther south than Carlsbad. In a similarly confined way, his east-west range stretched from Dresden (east) to Kassel (west). His complete geographical space can be found on a map derived from Christoph Wolff's great scholarly Bach study (Chr. Wolff, Bach, Essays on His Life and Music. Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Mass., 1991)

"Canon" comes from the Greek word for rule or law. Musically, it designates the strictest form of counterpoint in which one voice is bound to imitate the rhythm, and interval content of another voice.

Although originally written for an unspecified instrument, I created this Arrangement of the Canon in C Major (BWV 1086) for Viola Duet.
