Product Description

Mozarts K.562 (Caro bellidol mio) is a canon for three voices, a form that directly engages with the art of polyphonya hallmark of Bachs compositional style. While canons and fugues are distinct contrapuntal forms, both require the careful interweaving of independent melodic lines, and both were central to Bachs legacy. Mozarts exposure to Bachs music, particularly through the study and transcription of Bachs fugues from The Well-Tempered Clavier, profoundly influenced his approach to counterpoint and polyphonic writing.

The structure of K.562 reflects this influence in several ways:

Polyphonic Independence: Each voice in the canon follows the same melody at staggered intervals, creating a texture where each line is independent yet harmonically interdependent, mirroring the polyphonic clarity and independence Bach cultivated in his fugues and canons.
Contrapuntal Craftsmanship: The canon form, like the fugue, is a rigorous test of contrapuntal skill. Mozarts mastery of canonic writingevident in K.562echoes the contrapuntal discipline he absorbed from studying Bachs works, especially in his later years when he became fascinated with Bachs fugues and canons.
Musical Unity and Development: Bachs influence is seen in how Mozart develops a single melodic idea across multiple voices, ensuring that the musical material remains cohesive and logically developeda technique Mozart refined through his engagement with Bachs music.
While K.562 is not a fugue, its structure as a strict canon demonstrates Mozarts embrace of the contrapuntal techniques exemplified by Bach. This reflects the broader impact Bach had on Mozarts late style, in which polyphonic textures and rigorous counterpoint became increasingly prominent.
