She Had The WORSE Request Ever and then I DESTROYED it! | Cole Lam

  • Anyone who knows know that I hate Canon in D! Actually quite a lot of musicians do as well - it's wonderful to listen to, but it's one of the most over played pieces and generally it's quite "boring" to play. However, of course, I love taking requests, so when the ladies asked for Pachelbel's Canon in D, I was happy to play it. But then my dad asked me to "boogify" it. So, with my apologies to Pachelbel and everyone else with ears, I played it in a boogie woogie style.
    Afterwards, the ladies gave me the second most feared request - Beethoven's Fur Elise! I only played the initial melody because that is probably what peoplle generally mean by Fur Elise and not middle section. There's a myth, which might be true, that Beethoven wrote it for one of his piano students who he was in love with. Since she was not a very good pianist, he kept it simple; but he found out she was in love with someone else, so he changed it and made it too difficult for her to play!
    The only thing missing from this video is someone requesting River Flows In You!

      It is definitely not "boring" to play. When you actually try to play it as a true canon, it becomes very challenging to pull of the entire piece, playing all of the melodies together. I tried to make a transcription, and partly finished it, but playing it is at least as hard as La Campanella, if not more difficult.

    I love Fur Elise. Such a pretty song and I do like the extended version but I can understand that many musicians would hate it. It's the sort of piece that a pianist would play for family and friends from about their second or third year of learning. So by the time you've reached a professional level you'd be totally over it.

    You say that Canon in D is boring because it has 8 notes that repeat, but what about current music that has songs with only 2 or at most 3 notes that also repeat?

    • @ColeLam

      Agree. A lot of modern songs are basically 4 or 5 chords and then a melody/vocals on top!

  • @raylightbown4968
    @raylightbown4968 4 месяца назад +2

    Canons are meant to be simple so that a) you can overlap parts of the tune, as in Frere Jacque or London's Burning and b) you can use them as the basis for ornamentation, elaboration or improvisation. Maybe they appeal to people because they remind us of nursery tunes, songs and rhymes. Baa Baa Black Sheep, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star or Three Blind Mice.

    You played Fur Elise too loudly and rushed at parts. I agree that Canon in D sounds better in its normal not boogified version (even if some think it is boring). I wish you would've played the more interesting parts of Fur Elise. It may be beautiful but its main theme gets boring.
