enigmatic canon
An enigmatic canon is a musical term referring to a type of canon (a piece of music where one voice repeats the part of another, throughout the whole piece) in which the rules for repetition are not clearly defined. It is often up to the performer to decipher and interpret the way in which the voices are repeated, making each performance of the piece unique. This form requires a high level of musical understanding and intuition. The term ‘enigmatic’ highlights the riddle-like or puzzling characteristic of these canons.
