This collection of seven Mozart canons is arranged in flexible format for cello quartets. The canons can be played individually, as selections, or as a complete set. Each canon can be played from the cello 1 part, entering at the signs, and repeating on loop with ad-hoc endings. Alternatively, they can be read from the scores or the four parts provided with written rests, entrances, and endings.

The first six are four-voice canons in unison (or octaves) at variable intervals. The seventh is a double canon in fifths at the measure, which must be read from the written parts or the score. The following canons are included:

1. K.556 “G’rechtelt’s enk” (G Major)
2. K.553 “Alleluia” (C Major)
3. K.554 “Ave Maria” (F Major)
4. K.560 “O du eselhafter Martin” (F Major)
5. K.562a (F Major)
6. K.558 “Gehn wir im Prater” (Bb Major)
7. K.515b (Double Canon) (F Major)
