Choosing a version

Two available scores are for piano, and one is a cello solo. Start with the instrument you need, then compare the title, opening tempo and any wording such as “easy”; that word is not independently verified as a difficulty grade.

What the score details show

Each of the three scores shows an opening key signature of two sharps and an opening time signature of 4/4. The piano score titled “Canon in D (easy)” shows an opening tempo of 100 BPM, the cello solo shows 80 BPM, and the piano score titled “Cannon in D” gives no opening tempo. These details describe the openings and individual scores, not a full analysis of the work.

Canon, Gigue and P.37

The work title names both a Canon and a Gigue in D major, P.37, but the available score titles refer only to the Canon. The supplied information does not confirm that any score includes the Gigue, nor does it establish the original instrumentation or the meaning of P.37.

Title variants

“Canon in D,” “Cannon in D” and “Cello solo: Canon In D, P.37” all appear across the available scores. The supplied information does not explain the spelling difference or establish whether “Cannon in D” is a separate piece or a misspelling of Canon.
