7 Canons for 3-4 Instruments

Of the numerous canons from Schoenberg's legacy, we present here for the first time a selection in a practical edition.  Various playing combinations are possible from string quartets, mixed ensembles to wind ensembles.
With his canons Schoenberg followed a quote from Brahms: "If I do not feel like composing, I write something in counterpoint."  For Schönberg, counterpoint and composition were largely interchangeable: "Without inspiration neither of them could arise."  These charming tonal canons are indeed inspired and offer exciting repertoire for inquisitive ensembles.
