Canon in D (ground bass)
Johann Pachelbel, 1919 (public domain) · bass line: the composer’s own ground · The ground bass, sixteen times round — sixty-four bars, the same span as the piano part, so the two line up bar for bar if you play them one after the other. (They cannot sound together: a song page shows one instrument at a time.) Two beats a note, and it is the whole engine of the piece — everything above it is a variation over this.
