An introduction to the story of Kanon

"Canon" mainly tells the love story between the German composer Johann Pachelbel and the wealthy girl Barbara Gerbera when he was wandering in England.

One day, Barbara, the most beautiful girl in the next town, came to the church and fell in love at first sight when she heard Pachelbel's piano. Although Barbara did not have much interest in the piano, in order to get closer to Pachelbel, she asked to become his student. Although Barbara has not made any progress on the piano, she still refuses to give up, hoping to take this opportunity to get closer to her loved one.

While teaching Barbara how to play the piano, Pachelbel gradually realized that he had fallen deeply in love with her. However, instead of expressing it, he scolded Barbara for her slow progress. Barbara felt aggrieved, but still persisted in studying, hoping to be recognized by Pachelbel.

Although the two went through twists and turns, they were never able to express their feelings. Pachelbel composed "Canon" during the war as a gift to propose to Barbara.

However, after the war, Barbara had passed away. Pachelbel completed the other half of the Canon at Barbara's grave to express his longing for her. This story reminds us to cherish the people in front of us and express our love bravely to avoid leaving regrets.

Origin and Forgotten

The musical work "Canon" is derived from the Canon in D major composed by the German composer Johann Pachelbel in the late 17th century. When this work was first created, it attracted widespread attention in the European music scene because of its unique structure and beautiful melody. However, as time went by, this work was gradually forgotten, and it was not until the late 20th century that it returned to people's vision.

Pachelbel's life was full of ups and downs. He spent his childhood in the war, and later settled down in a small village in England. There, he was adopted by a church luthier, and under the influence of the luthier, he learned the piano. Pachelbel loved music since he was a child, and his talent became a legend in the British countryside.
