[TPIN] Pachelbel Canon changes

[James Olcott]

Duly corrected by organist/TPINer Guy Hayden:
The two-measure cantus firmus of the Pachelbel Canon is actually  
repeated 27 times, creating the 54 measures wrongly identified by Rob  
Parvonian (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdxkVQy7QLM) as the number  
of times the famous line is repeated. With the final chord, says Guy,  
the piece, as originally written, is 55 measures in length.

And there you have it...

Ah, trivia...
