    I was hired for a wedding once, the bride asked if we could play this song on a loop throughout the entire wedding.
    So we said sure. She pulls it up on her phone and it's our worst nightmare Canon in D...
    So we ask
    "How long's the wedding?"
    She answer, nonchalantly.
    "Oh it ends at eight!"
    It was 6 in the morning.
    "Oh in the morning?"
    "No! At night!"
    And that is the story on how I played Canon in D for fourteen hours and only three breaks...
    P.S Yes, I was the cellist...

    I remember learning Fur Elise when I was a kid and then moving onto more fun and beautiful pieces. Then I went to highschool where there was an untuned piano in the front of the auditorium and whenever we would have a study hall, some kid would go up to it and play Fur Elise and everyone would act like it was the second coming of Christ or something. Funniest part was that they skipped over the parts that are more difficult later on in the song than just the beginning bit.

    In Myanmar, fur elise is tune for a pancke street food franchise, called Cart- Bane - Mont. it means Myanmar Sweet Pancke. the franchise entrepreneur is genius. Like everyone is shouting "panckes for sale, so sweet", he hit you with a classic 🤣🤣🤣. Whenever I hear it, I always remember the happy memory of my mom buying us those delicious 🤤 pan cakes.

      Coming from a pianist: Every beginner piano student (especially if they're like 4-5 years old) learns the melody in C major, which isn't the original key. I'm 100% sure that the melody is in a beginner piano book like Bastien or Thompson and is titled "Ode to Joy" or "Song of Joy"

    I've been really wanting to perform Die Erlkonig at some point. Hopefully in college. I also wish that Danse Macabre was played more often. Same idea with the recognizable melody but it is less infamous for being stereotyped and has complexity that would get a lot more people interested in classical music

    • @angrygoose23
      @angrygoose23 2 года назад

      I love Danse Macabre and I have a relatively short attention span when it comes to classical music recordings, so that’s definitely a testament to its quality and… epicness, I guess?
