Been forgotten, but revived

Johann Pachelbel was almost unknown to the wide public until 30s of the XX century though he won a reputation of a talented organist, composer and teacher already during his lifetime. It is notable that his piece Canon in D major became popular 1877, far ahead all his other works, having been completely neglected at time of its origin.

Sheet music of Pachelbel's Canon scored for three violins and cello is available for download here: Canon in D for Three Violins and Violoncello.
