The canon work we are most familiar with today is Johann Pachelbel's "Canon and Gigue in D major" (Canon and Gigue in D major), also known as "Pachelbel's Canon" ( Pachelbel's Canon).
The general way of playing this piece is to start with the cello, and three violins join in at intervals of eight beats. The violins all play the same melody, with only three different melodies before and after, each with only two measures of melody to be played repeatedly; the cello only has two measures from beginning to end, repeated as many as twenty-eight times. Although this piece of music keeps going back and forth, the beauty of its melody does not make people feel monotonous, but instead makes it feel pleasant to the ear.
There are now various versions of the Canon, such as violin solo version, string quartet version, piano solo version, piano four-hand version, harp solo version, flute concerto version, and brass ensemble version. , ocarina solo version, guitar solo version, bel canto a cappella version and many other versions.
Among the piano solo versions, the version adapted by George Winston is the most famous.
