About Mirror canon
Mirror canon is a music genre that emerged in Europe in the 1720s.
From Wikipedia
The mirror canon (also called a canon by contrary motion) is a type of canon which involves the leading voice being played alongside its own inversion (i.e. upside-down). The realisation from the 'closed' (unrealised) form can be affected by placing the page in front of a mirror, thus upside down, and beginning with the already progressing first voice.
The Canon a 2 'Quaerendo invenietis' from J. S. Bach's The Musical Offering, BWV 1079, is a fine example of the process. In its original closed form, the alto clef and an upside-down bass clef indicate both the mirror procedure and the appropriate pitches of the voices for the purpose of realisation.
