This is one of the most difficult Cello pieces ever constructed, not because of technical difficulty but because it takes incredible patience to play through the whole thing

[xXMAPLEPROX]

for all those people saying the cello must be bored, me being a lower end instrument player (cello, tenor sax, bass) sometime playing the same right eight notes and knowing that everyone's sound revolves yours makes you feel important and you love the sound you make

[fireworksandpie]

What the violin part says: play these 1, 000 notes in quick succession

What the cello part says: repeat 10 million times while you die inside

Cello Player: I have been training for 10 years and this is what I get?

[Martin]

I like how people are commenting remorse for the cello but I play the tuba and for ANY type of March I get dun DUN dun DUN dun DUN dun DUN

[l.rodrigues]

I want you to play on my wedding. I just have to find the bride.







Edit 2020: omg! I've just found this old youtube comment on my second channel, I can't believe it got so many likes! Lol.

For those who are wondering, I still haven't found my bride. Thank you for your concern and prayers! God bless y'all! hahah 😁♥️

[Hello-jhrq]

Ling ling could play all 4 of those parts at once with both hands tied behind his back

[RobrinLayona]

All of the people that say the cellist must be bored, but no one thanks him for being bored to make this beautiful sound that is music. My favorite piece in the world was recreated by these talented young men and I am truly happy that I have the ability to listen. So thank you for playing this song so perfectly, and thank you for allowing us to listen. <3

[johnandaway]

Nice to see a version that is an actual canon for once.

[jamesxia]

Why does the cello player even look at his music sheet

[Dawn]

this song played at my kindergarten during nap time and i grew up loveing music because of this song and now i am at an arts school and singing professionally because of this song. it took me 10 years to find this song again and now im listening to it again for the first time in 10 years just like i used to. i love this song so much its amazing beauty changed my life.

[trevorspencer]

I love how each instrument joins the song individually at the start of the piece.

[genezhu]

I play the cello and once we did it for orchestra... I was silently crying the whole time when we played it in rehearsals and lessons. My teacher says that music is never boring... I get that

[jimmywang]

Absolutely beautiful. Almost reduced me to tears...

[aditya-cpzt]

Beautiful.
Why is it that wonderful classics like this do not have that many views but songs like 'Blank space' or 'All about that bass' have more than a billion views. We need to make classics by Pachelbel, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, etc. more popular and need to make the world realize how nice these songs are. Who agrees with me and thinks that these songs are wonderful?

[Elgfrothii]

Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know that in 2017, my wife walked down the isle to this recording. It was the best version I could find on the internet. Thank you so much, my wife and I listen to this song on our anniversary every year. You are so so talented in what you do. <3

Pachelbel was such an artist that he took the bows into consideration. Observe the movements, notice the flow. Note also the violins play the same thing delayed by 8 measures stepped. This is musical genius. And I'm into metal. His skill is amazing, even to this day. Needless to say, you all played beautifully, he would be proud. Job very well done.

[Auoric]

The sad part is that the cellist bothered to bring his sheet music with him

[imstillwakingup]

Haha I always knew that cellists hated this piece and now that I brought out my cello and played along I can truly understand why from the cellists perspective
