Abstract
Beyond the significance of the A minor triad in Canon as the final chord of the piece (or indeed of the last work in Ligeti’s oeuvre) is its relation to the previous etudes of Book 3. As has been intimated in earlier chapters, there is something of a meta-harmonic progression taking place over the course of these four etudes. The conclusion of White on White is anchored on the A minor triad; Pour Irina ends with a section that articulates a movement from an A minor triad to an E major one; in À bout de souffle, the E minor triad (the first rhythmic and acoustic consonance of the work) announces the conclusion of the etude; and finally, Canon comes to a halt on an A minor triad. In each of the etudes, these triads are outliers in the texture, coming across as moments of particular importance to the listener. They also all take place in the conclusions of each etude, essentially functioning as capstones or final destinations.
