Ah yes, canon in d. Every cellists favorite piece.

[heberflorez]

Basically every instrument.

But, once in a while there is some 5 minutes where you can touch anything blindfolded and you feel like the next best musician to ever born on the planet.
Those 5min are gold.

[yurina-zyds]

As a cellist, I literally flinched when I heard Canon in D 😭

[Sapphic_Squad]

As a cellist I find this very relatable! It’s the ‘where is my music?’ For me lol. Or when you practice for a while, you can’t get it right, your bowing arm starts to hurt, and then you just get up to ‘take a break’ and you forget to put your cello back into its case.

[SaberKitty_Arts]

Just picked the cello up again after two years and all my family wants to hear is canon D 😂

[Yes-yvzs]

Likely situation: You finish practice. You are a bit tired. You place the cello beside you on the floor sideways, thinking ‘I’ll put it away later.’ A week passes. You trip.

[stellagonzalez]

My pencils often go missing - and I don’t have a child to blame😂😂!!

[elissahunt]

That repetition is fundamental is something most non-musicians don't understand. I'm sooo glad my hubby is also a musician!

[lordneeko]

Pachebel wrote the first 8 measures of the cello part of Canon in D...and then DIED ~Stephen Sharp Nelson

[alhfgsp]

Also, grinding away endless scales and arpeggios. Violinist here.

[thebrickmotion]

As a amateur cellist (not a good one) this is so relatable

[Samerviolin]

I lost like ten pencils and just found all of them on the top part of my violin case lol

[mynkascorner]

So relatable. Everyone expects me to be this good on cello cause ive done it for 1.5 years

[Miss.Cuti]

As a cellist myself, this is very relatable. I tould my friend I was learning how to play Rush-E and they thought I got on my first try.

[davidharris]

This makes me feel 10x better! 😂 Thank you for this!

[exboxx]

The pencil going missing everytime is so relatable. 😭

[yeallow]

No cellist like playing canon in D, 8 Bars on repeat

[GiGiGalaxy]

As a new cello student, I appreciate this video, soooo much. Omg

[LilacDeiji]

“Where’s my music” is too accurate. Pain of memorizing your piece and then forgetting one note.

[KaffeMedBulla]

As a cello player, I can relate to this
