In 1681, when Pachelbel was twenty-eight years old, he married Barbara Gabler, and they had children. This is a work written by Pachelbel to his daughter and wife.

The story begins: Bachabel was born in Nuremberg, Germany. In his early years, he studied music with Schwimmer.

In 1669, he entered a school in Altdorf to receive music education, but because he could not afford the tuition, he transferred to a school in Regensburg the following year.

In 1677, Eisenach served as court organist for a year. In 1678 he served as organist in Erfurt, where he taught J.C. Bach.

In 1681, when Bahaber was twenty-eight years old, he married Barbara Gabler.

In 1683, Barbara and their only child died of the plague. The following year he remarried Judith Drommer, and this marriage gave him seven children. After leaving Alter, Bachabel came to the court of Württemberg, a place that gave him a lot of professional freedom.

In the autumn of 1692, the French army invaded, and he was forced to return to his birthplace of Nuremberg, and finally to Gota. It happened that the original organist of St. Sebald's Church in Nuremberg, where he was born, and Bachabel's teacher, Weick, passed away, allowing him to successfully take over the position of teacher. Here he remained until his death.

During his five years in Nuremberg, Bachabel wrote important religious chorales and organ fugues such as the Hymn of Thanksgiving, which is regarded as his masterpiece in his later years.

In 1706, John Bahabel died at the age of 52.

Characteristics of canon——

Canon is the name of a musical form and a type of polyphonic music. The original meaning is "law". The characteristic of this musical form is that the same piece of music is repeated at intervals of several syllables, and the melody of one part is imitated by the other part from beginning to end, that is, strict imitation counterpoint. Canon appeared in the 13th and 14th centuries, and later generations often adopted classical tunes as canon themes.

Although all the voices of the canon imitate the same voice, the voices of different heights enter at certain intervals, creating a one-on-one effect and a continuous effect. Round singing is also a kind of canon. In the canon, the melody that appears first is the introduction, and what is imitated later is the answer.

"Canon in D Major" is music written by Pachelbel when he was in Venice, Italy. It has a touch of Italian, sweet and peaceful melancholy. In less than five minutes of performance, the "stubborn sound pattern theme" is repeated 28 times, but the listener can be immersed in this melody without feeling monotonous at all.
