The progression is usually in a major key, and usually runs as follows: I-V-vi-iii-IV-I-IV-V (repeat). If in a minor key, it is usually: i-v-VI-III-iv-i-iv-V (repeat). Occasionally, II, ii or ii° may be substituted for the last IV/iv, and I or Ib (or i or ib)[[note]]The "b"'s in this case mean "first inversion", not "flatted". Second inversions use "c"'s.[[/note]] may be substituted for the iii or III. An example can be heard [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Canon_and_Gigue_in_D.ogg here]].
