Variations on the Kanon by Pachelbel - George Winston

I saw this piece of music on Facebook with no title.  I am no expert on music, but I really enjoyed this piece.  I wanted to know what it is called.  I found it on YouTube with the title "Variations on the Kanon by Pachelbel".

So, being the curious person I am,  I wanted to know what the "Kanon by Pachelbel" meant.    So I found it...


The first version on this page, "Arranged for violins, harps, and bass", is a piece of music that I have heard many times, as it has been used in TV shows and movies.  Mentally, I hadn't made the connection between the piano solo and this version, but I had previously been curious about where this music came from.  Some of the other versions of this page are interesting.
