Canon trivia

Before introducing the sheet music, I will explain some trivia about the canon.

An easy-to-understand example is the "frog chorus." In the frog chorus, they sing while chasing the same melody. This way of playing is also canon.

-Canon-Free sheet music ① (Introduction/Arrangement for recorder)

First, it is a relatively short and simple sheet music with different pitches for recorder, similar to those found in elementary school music textbooks.

I transposed it to C major, note names for do-re-mi , and added finger numbers here and there.

The left hand repeats the first four measures forever.

-Canon-Free sheet music ② (Introduction)

Next, I changed it back to the original key (D major) and returned it to a melody that was relatively close to the original.

I've also added note names for do-re-mi

Sounds are omitted in places where fingering is a little difficult.

For the left hand, repeat the first row as in ①.

-Canon-Free sheet music ③ (Beginner)

Next is the score that increases the overall difficulty. We expect it to be as difficult as Burgmuller.

There are many dynamic symbols, but don't worry about them at first, and start paying more attention to them once you get used to playing.

For the left hand, repeat the first row.

-Canon-Free sheet music ④ (Intermediate)

Next is a more difficult sheet music based on ②.

It is aimed at people who can play the piano to some extent.

I was wondering if I should add some arrangement to the left hand, but I ended up repeating the first line.
