are so many advanced players unable to transpose ? some other Scale, in the same order as to Time, and
prefixing the new Key-signature and the old Time-
signature, we can transpose any Canon that we like.
But many advanced players do not know this.

T'. Antonio Salieri, the Italian composer, lived and wrote when the Chords had had time to become more perfect,
