Throughout much of his career, Giovanni Maria Bononcini was preoccupied with the exploration of the canon in the realm of both musica practica and musica theorica. In his Opera 1, 3, 4, and 9, Bononcini focused on the compositional practices related to the canon in its most varied treatments, with the profound insights gained for a music-theoretical codification of these practices in his Musico prattico, op. 8 (Bologna, 1673), a volume that was widely read in its original publication, in the 1678 and 1688 reprints, respectively of Venice and Bologna, as well as in the 1701 posthumous publication of Stuttgart in German translation, the latter referred to by Friedrich Wilhelm Marpurg in his two-volume Abhandlung von der Fuge (Berlin, 1754).
