Nine Alternative-Heptatonic Canons, Op. 48 is a dynamic and colorful set of contrapuntal piano studies designed to expand a pianist's harmonic vocabulary beyond traditional major, minor, and modal scales. Each canon is composed in strict imitation at the octave, drawing from non-standard seven-note (heptatonic) scale structures. Through distinct tempos, expressive dynamics, and varying rhythmic textures, this collection serves as a modern bridge between classical contrapuntal technique and non-traditional tonalities.
