So, I gave myself a relatively easy task for my canon. I used the Fux cantus as, of all things, a cantus firmus and wrote a little trio for two violins and cello with the violin parts in canon. It's not in the style described in Fux's Gradus but rather more like a trio sonata in style and texture. I suppose that I could have figured the bass...
The one license that I allowed myself was the C# in measure 3 in the comes. I needed it for the harmony.
Tomorrow, we get away from Fux for a while.
