The Canonic Sonata is an homage to Georg Philipp Telemann. In the tradition of canons written in one staff, the star (*) indicates when the second player begins, and both players should reach their respective fermatas at the same time (Player 1 ignores the first fermata). The ornaments in the plaintive middle movement should be played in the French Baroque style. For example, in measures 1 and 5, the first grace note is played on the beat and the second is between the beats. Similarly, the grace notes in measures 4 and 31 are also on the beat.
