> Pachelbel's Canon in D is by no means a complex song and has stood the test of time

It was actually mostly forgotten until the 1960's.

Can anyone find a version without Paillard's changes? Knowing the history, I suspect they have more to do with the song's popularity than the original composition.

Correct, much like Bach until Mendelssohn. My point was that, well both, are still around. Plenty more music was lost to the sands of time.

Which one is it? Beethoven's 5th? I think it's his 5th that has been played at least once a month since it was first performed. Now, that is a wild record.

Oasis anyone?
