Every violinist’s absolute favorite piece

Dear music lovers, thanks for being here!

This is Canon in D by Pachelbel, every violinist’s and cellist’s favorite piece to play. It’s a beautiful piece, but it’s majorly overdone, and as we all know - too much of the good thing… Hope you had a good laugh regardless :)

If you like the video, please give it 👍🏻 & a follow - I appreciate it.

Canon in D for violinists be like fur Elise for pianists

As a student violinist, I LOVED playing and showing off that I could play it as a child.
Now, I absolutely hate it because of how many times I played it as a child.

I play the cello and if I get request to pay canon in D I charge extra. If I have to suffer may as well make extra money.

I realize that it's a joke, but I stopped thinking like this a little while ago. Now, no matter how I feel about a song, I try to remember it could have been a departed family member's favorite piece or have some other special significance in their life. I can also strive to play it better than I ever have, experiment with timbre or dynamics, or try different articulations. I also remember that it's only a few minutes out of my life and that I'm playing for the audience as well as myself. Hope this helps any musicians struggling with having to play the warhorses. For me it was Proud Mary. Now I actually like playing it again. Good luck!

Even though it is overplayed, I still find it satisfying to play for some reason

[DiaSa]

all the violinists and cellists remember the first time we hear canon in D, and when we learned to play it, that memories are beautiful, then at least 3 times a week someone asks you to play it and it is no longer the same. (But it's still a beautiful piece ^^)

[adrianneforsyth]

I’ve played this on violin at weddings and
ceremonies for 20 years and still will. It’s been the special music to lot of precious memories and life milestones.

The main reason I like Cannon in D is because it was my mom’s favorite thing to play on the piano and it reminds me of her.

[DJfractalflight]

Me: “Ooh she’s making it minor!! 🎈🥳
Me (1 second later): 💥😨
Her: 🎬🔚……✌️

[katiem]

But truthfully the reason pieces like this are popular is because it’s beautiful

[reidpattis]

I have no clue why Canon in D is so popular. Literally every live performance I've attended has that one guy who requests Canon in D OUT OF NOWHERE. One time, literally after a series of pop songs that range from Justin Bieber to Idina Menzel, some dude just paid the musician to perform Canon in D out of nowhere. What a mood killer. :/

[TayNoTaisho]

I was genuinely taken aback by this- 😭 I was ready to vibe

Come here Eddy!
She is your soulmate! 💐 💍

[androidphone]

This reminds me of stations that play 40's Big Band / Swing.... HAVE YOU HEARD "IN THE MOOD"? YES? OK HERE IT IS AGAIN

[musicalaviator]

Canon in D for quartet. Cellist, you get the carriage. Violist and violin 2, get the Cannon. I'll grab the gunpowder and shot.

[MajWinters]

I love Canon in D. Heard it on Pump It Up (that dance game), then the classical, then the rock one. I'll always love it because it means a piece of my childhood (the game), but I NEVER intend to put it in my marriage ceremony

[coolbreeze]

I remember as a kid, practicing Canon on flute for hours since it was played for our year end school concert. At that point, everyone got so sick of it, we played the saddest sounding version ever. It wasn't until years later, I heard Canon live with a full orchestra, I burst into tears with how much emotion they played it with.

I’ll make someone ironically play maroon 5 at my wedding
