“and goes on thus contentedly to the end”
He learned to change a canon’s form when need
Required a shift. He might repeat a tune
Two measures later underneath the seed
He planted. Still, if that did not commune
When he went on in combination, he
Would then commit the blending after just
One measure next time. Practicality
Was wise. His attitude was cool, robust,
And flexible. So music ought to come:
What matters is the beauty, not the norm
Completely. Early on aesthetics from
His pen were freed up from right rigid form.
..So he (in canon and in later shapes)
….Through freedom found out new ways for escapes.
