If one takes the major pentatonic scale (scale degrees 1, 2, 3, 5 & 6) and writes a canon at the fourth (or fifth for that matter), the resulting combined scales still only use pitches contained in the major (heptatonic) scale.
That's what I explored here. The dux is in C major pentatonic C, D, E, G, A and the comes is in F major pentatonic -- F, G, A, C, D. All of the pitches are members of the C major scale.
Today, first species--elaboration tomorrow.
