Sorry, I thought the Link went directly to the example.
It's Very clever and informative!

Did you mean the "crab" canon from The Musical Offering? I watched that one, and you're right: it's very clever indeed and it shows how ingenious Bach's contrapuntal methods could be - really educational without any talking at all.
But the one you saw is probably very similar.
The Goldberg Video is from JS Bach's own notebook, and was very involved.
He showed how the Retrogrades, Inversions, and Canons all work, sometimes in multiple parts.
. . . all I get is a "Server Not Found" message.
This is what the link looks like on my browser:http://%20https://www.facebook.com/ComposerIgorTkachenko/vidTo get it to work at all, I disposed of the first ten characters.

An interesting thing about those canons is that they're really little puzzles (sometimes with clues which Bach provided in the form of additional clefs), and the editor/performers have to figure out how to make them work! It really helps our understanding to see visual representations of the solution(s) for each one via the video. Frankly, I'm not sure I could figure all of them out if they hadn't already been solved by other people! ;-)
Also, it's amazing to think that these ingenious little pieces had to wait until 1974 for their rediscovery!
BTW, I also found this same video on uTube:
OTOH, remember what Napoleon said. (Ask me for anything - except time!)
How about that muggy rain Friday?
We went to Moraga to play Bocce Ball, then OSH in Lafayette.
Felt a bit like upstate NY, W/O the Cicadas.
There's sometimes twenty degrees' difference from the other side of the Caldecott Tunnel - but you probably knew this already!
