These 65 old melodies work with just one musician, two musicians, or three musicians. Canons are a great introduction to the pleasures of chamber music, with rich harmonies, quirky rhythms, and occasional lyrics.
Volumes with these same tunes in the same keys are available for Violin (treble clef), Viola (alto clef), and Cello (bass clef) to make it easy to play with string playing colleagues.
This collection is not part of the Trios for Stings series of tune books.
Also available is Canons for Four with part books available for violin, viola, and cello.
