lol I may be a violinist but i feel the cello's pain... Btw i was looking thru comments and saw a violin complaining bout this... CELLOS HAVE 8 NOTES PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN- VIOLINS HAVE A NICE INTERESTING MUSIC THAT HAS MELODY FOR MORE THAN 3 MESURES AND EVEN IF WE DONT, IT IS STILL BETTER THAN THE CELLO PART! That is all
By: jouet920. on 20 Nov 08, 22:12:52
I do love Canon in D but used too play the cello too and totally sympathise with this bloke! Very funny!
By: kezzerly. on 20 Nov 08, 12:25:18
AHAHAAHAAHAHAH this makes me laugh so much! x.
By: ChristianMusician85. on 20 Nov 08, 06:19:52
Pachelbel's Canon in D is definitely a great piece. I'm playing it in a Woodwind Quintet. This comedy routine is absolutely inspired. The ironic thing is that Canon in D isn't actually a canon -- it's more of a passacaglia.
By: IDLERACER. on 20 Nov 08, 02:17:28
"Let It Be" isn't really the correct four chords (the last one is different) but "I Want To Hold Your Hand" is.
By: WHOAitsicy. on 20 Nov 08, 01:38:25
omg crying right now from laughter! :D
By: etereal2. on 19 Nov 08, 23:33:57
However Pachelbel is a genius!!! =P
