8. Endless Double Mirror Canon

Canon perpetuus
Tecnically, this is not one, but two mirror canons inversion of each other,
joined together by the canonic bridge passage in measures 14 through 18,
while the lowest voice plays a free counterpoint all along.

9. Two-part Riddle Canon

Canon a 2 Quaerendo invenietis
' You would hear a most beautiful art
should the follower know when to start.'
We know Bach intended this to be a mirror canon, but he intentionally told us to find
out when the follower starts. I hope the following solution is satisfying enough.

10. Four-part Riddle Canon.

Canon a 4 Quaerendo invenietis
'You would hear a most beautiful art
should the followers know when to start.'
Bach did not tell us when the followers of this canon should start, instead we are
invited to figure it out by ourselves. The original version below is suitable for a set
of SSST recorders, though some small fragments may be lowered by an octave.
