Looking for A Good "Canon In D"
on: May 11, 2005, 04:47:02 PM
I have collected about five or six versions of Pachelbel's Canon In D for piano. I am not very crazy about any of them.
A couple I just plain don't like. One of them does not contain any of the original's melody lines, but just the composer's variations. It plays like a scale study. A couple of these versions are not even in the key of D. One is in C Major and one is in G.
A version I am trying to play now is a nice piece -- an arrangement by Robert Schultz, published by Belwin-Mills. However, it is labeled an "Advanced Piano Solo" and is maybe just a bit too hard for me, especially at the end.
If anyone could supply a link or a source to one or two additional versions of the Canon in D, I would be grateful.

Make your own set of variations. You'll learn much of it, and it's cool to make things yourself. So do some beautiful, soft variations, some cool octave passages, and build it up and come to a climax.
