Related introduction:

Canon is a music composition technique, polyphonic music. Although all the voices of cannon imitate one voice, the voices of different heights enter at a certain interval, resulting in a continuous effect, and the rotating singing is also a cannon.

Generally, the cello is played, and three violins are added at intervals of eight beats. All violins play exactly the same melody, and there are only three different melodies before and after, and each one has only two bars of melody for repeated playing.

Related background:

Canon is a genre of music. The earliest history of Canon can be traced back to the folk music forms in the 13th century, such as hunting songs and solo songs. Rondo is a kind of small acoustic music, which is in the form of the same degree of endless cannon in which all parts enter at the same distance. It has been popular in Britain since the 13th century.

in the 15th century, a complete canon appeared, which was loved by the composers of Flemish school. Since then, cannon has often been used as an independent small piece of music or a paragraph in a large piece of music, and many symphonic works will use the technical part of cannon, such as Beethoven's Symphony of Destiny, Bach's Five Variations on Cannon and so on.
