Héloïse Degrugillier: December 12, 2026
December 12 Playing Meeting: Canons, Puzzles, and Other Musical Enigmas
Description
Renaissance and Baroque composers delighted in musical riddles—enigmatic canons, hidden lines, and whimsical puzzle pieces meant to tease both performer and listener. In this playing meeting, we explore canonic tricks and eccentric musical devices that delighted early musicians. Expect everything from straightforward imitation to notational curiosities designed to bewilder… in the most enjoyable way.
