- Canon in D
Product description
One of our top-selling sheet arrangements of this famous piece. Canon in D is the most famous piece of music by Johann Pachelbel, written in or around 1680 as a piece of chamber music for three violins and basso continuo. Robert Schultz's faithful setting is for the advanced pianist. Tasteful use of arpeggios, rolled chords, and dynamics brings out a rich, sonorous sound that evokes the original string arrangement. Perfect for weddings, recitals, or any other special occasion.
Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) was a German Baroque composer, organist and teacher, one of the most important composers of the Middle Baroque period. He composed a large number of sacred and secular compositions. His work enjoyed great popularity, he taught many pupils and his music became a model for most German composers. Today, his best-known work is the Canon in D major, which is one of the most famous pieces in classical music. His other well-known works include the organ pieces Chaconne in F minor and Toccata in E minor.
