It was originally composed for three violins and basso continuo. Pachelbel's Canon is an authentic canon, because the three violins play the exact same part, at intervals of two measures. It also has elements of a chaconne, namely a repeated short harmonic progression, a stepwise descending melody (as in the first two measures of the violin part), as well as a repetitive bass line.This score is an arrangement for Piano solo.
