abstract
although theorists have examined various aspects of the canonic genre, scant attention has been given to the polymorphic canon, a designation which prout bestowed on those pieces with multiple solutions. this article focuses on two prototypical examples, the anonymous non nobis domine and a seven-measure dux by g. h. stölzel quoted in marpurg’s abhandlung, from whose analyses we may extract recurring melodic paradigms prior to providing practical guidelines for their composition.
