Pachelbel--Cannon D

[markg2]

I just started to learn the 'non-easy' transcription for piano. The third measure, left hand has several instances of 2 notes greater than an octave. Browsing later on in the music, I see that this is not an isolated example. I tried playing the 2 notes first the lower then the upper (as yet without the pedal) and find that it just doesn't sound right.

Anyone have a comment or suggestion on this?

Thanks,

Mark
