Pachelbel - Ricercar in C major, P.418 (piano transcription)

When I first saw the subject, I honestly thought "seriously?" But then came the inversion and diminution, and the culmination in double-note virtuosity. Pachelbel kept the treble voices close together so that they are completely playable with one hand on the piano, which he might not have expected that somebody would do so 300 years later.
My transcription is the same as the original until b.130 where "pedal" is indicated. For the final dominant pedal point I used dashed ties to denote the freedom of repeating the bass.
帕赫貝爾在這首《里切爾卡》以簡單的 do re mi fa sol 作為主題，發掘出無窮的變化，並用到倒影和減值的手法，最終以雙音的炫技推向高潮。

Bravo!

Many thanks for this piano version. Johann Pachelbel had the astonishing talent of composing very catchy music with comparatively simple compositional means.

Это великолепно. А если представить хорошую акустику и бархатный Steinway - магия определённо. .
