Canon in D minor- piano

[powerman678]

it dont sawnd like it its a bit to fast

[YunaLinearGaara]

um can can can u make a tutorial on playing d minor but kind of slowly as u can make so i can follow? :O much appreciated i wanted to learn minor

[downstube]

This deserves way more credit than you are getting. I suggest changing the timing slightly, in the melody line as well as bass. Then rename it and call it your own. It really already is your own. Cannon is based off the true simplicity of going up and down the scale. Pachelbel can't take credit for what was already in alphabetical order. Just do it your own way, a little bit more before you call it yours.

AWESOME JOB!! <3

[TheVsmorgan]

out of tune. :OOOOO

[Miscegenationify]

You play like crap

[jasonwenceslaojr]

Does your piano have a pedal? i wish i could play as good as you, but.... i don't like your version, maybe it's just the quality but i praise those people that can play piano.

[LEpicFails912]

too fast. put it to half the speed

[Colest503]

Aside from the horrid tuning on your piano and your occasional mistakes, it's transposed very well. I couldn't detect any transposition mistakes so if you did that yourself than job well done.

That being said, I think it sounds much better in D Major.

[gypsyeyedvoodoochile]

it is nutty, i like it keep at it dannjg change it up art is interactive and active not passive :0) cheers to you

[booly5]

TUNE YOUR PIANO!!!!

[JShawtyKim]

I like what you did at the end.

You gave me great ideas for my version! :P

[ptxrah]

needs more emotion. sounds like a robot

[strawberryclaire17]

Your piano needs tuning!!!!!

[kikyocrazy]

I've played this variation before... But in the actual key... :/

It just doesn't sound right when its minor. I'd rather prefer the major key.

You should repost this, but with cleaner, sustained notes, more legato and make it a bit slower. That's all I'd say. :)

[MrJason905]

YESYES LISTEN LISTEN TO ME POJIweoieojwofoiejnfowden see now yourok

[mynameissang]

Canon in D minor...

/watch?v=URpJJNstK0M

Maybe more like that?

It may be the piano... but considering how perfect of a piece Pachelbel's Canon was, it really is a shame to hear it being played in another variation without any expression... music is art, after all, and the beauty of art is its inspiration.

[LtTsukasa]

nice try, slow down, practice more and try again.

[kayeus08]

its soo dont like much a canon

[TANGONIA]

the last two chords sound brutal in this version, other than that it's fine

[ElisavanYaslana]

Sorry, I just removed my prior comment, i was just going to append "It sounds wonderful!!" to my list of suggestions. I hope you can access it, but if not... here's the gist of it:

"Slow down & take it easy, smooth out your motions & really 'charm' the sound from the keys, use discord/resolution for intensity more than sharp motions, don't be too afraid of the sust-pedal"

also, I don't feel much should be changed of the notes in this arr., just add a bit of what I mentioned & it'll be great!

[livetodie122]

hey man try to play it with the a major chord at the end of each canon. That may help it.

[freewolf27]

You play with very flat tone -_-!! i can't hear movement of tone... you know, P or F any where, they are all just very. . . . flat.

[cnt315]

the minor version is just plain not as good, even if it is played clean, enough of these chanks tryin to change the world man

[DannJG]

Yes, because by putting it in minor version, I'm trying to make some significant differance in the world.

[SimonIsSuperHot]

@DannJG create a significant differance in world by writing your own song..

[katsumiizumi]

@cnt315 if u put it in minor it tells a complete diffrente story my friend thats whats fun about music

[vmkcheckitout]

It would be 'emotionless' if its in a minor key. It's a set of notes down.. so what do you expect?

A song and dance?

[freewolf27]

It wouldn't be, Canon in D minor is beautiful, the real version that is.

[ColinKochevar]

not quite feeling it man, but still not bad. keep playing, all right? :)

[TheCloudsCry]

it sounds soooo...... emotionless. try to put in more....... feelings in it, ok?

[ChrisTheSpiritOfGods]

Nicely played 5/5 for effort though :)

[JAC080924]

yes if you play it slower and sustained the notes, you will come up with a good canon.....

[A1ex0s]

if you would do it slower it would sound more nicer...

[PunksterBrew]

Dude, if you're still around, I really hope you repost a version of this without the mistakes. I don't mean to sound selfish, I just love this minor version, and it would be cool to post a more polished version if you have time. What makes me really appreciate this video is that there are so many idiots posting Canon in D Minor when it's in fact in Major. Either one hell of a typo or those idiots don't know major from minor, but either way, love this video!

[swim200free]

u suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

[Seyhan60]

I was searching for a minor variation for so long, that's great!

[StefanoAlde94]

è un po frizzante

[rhino107]

ur playing is too electronic can u be more natural when u playing? and even my 10year old brother says ur playing have no emotion in it u just a slave to music u have to control it. u're playing notes only, when you're supposed to be playing MUSIC. its a whole lot of difference u noe. and brush up on those mistakes that keep budging in everywhere if u wan to continue posting vids on youtube.

[samantha568]

i loved this song... when i did this... i used to be so obsessed with it..

[PrincessMayan2907]

bravo in many ways!

[vilufo]

LOVE IT (L)

[darklapinous]

? sa sonne bizard xD XD ou ce sune various du canon ?,,?? xD

[bndeyo]

HA! I'm glad I'm not the only one amused by all of the d minor (in D major) canons on you tube.... I once improvised a similar version on guitar at a wedding, as the d minor canon had been requested as part of the prelude music. I've also had requests for "Ava Maria" and "Oh! to Joy!"

[161194]

i love this in minor!!

[Kairi12bell]

this is good

[nameofwingfoot]

AHhh...a pleasant surprise!! D MINOR, finally...I think I may post a Dm version of the song with my string quartet playing it...if I get it up, I'll try to remember to come back to this song and give a link to it...

[Xigbar]

sounds russian-influenced. nice arrangement.

[Justtwocomment]

whats the difference between minor and major?

[jimmyblacktar]

mino is sad sounding and a little softer as far as the sound goes. major is happy sounding and generally louder when played normally

[DannJG]

Technically, the difference is that the third, sixth, and seventh step in a scale can be either minor or major. All i did was switch them, In this case, from F sharp to F natural, from B natural to B flat, and from C sharp to C natural.

[ChiefLinesider07]

Correct me if im wrong, but that doesnt make sense musically. Its in the key of D minor. You cant just go around changing the notation. Itachi46 states the same concern.

[ChiefLinesider07]

your changing the foundation of the song. Fourths and fifths can be augmented, why did you choose to change only the third, sixth, and seventh step. Seconds can be minor as well.... Why not seconds? maybe im missing something...

[DannJG]

In a major scale, you start on a note, then go up a whole, step, another whole step, then a half step, then whole step. Then you go up a whole step, a final whole step, then one last half step. An F major scale would consist of the following notes: F G A Bflat CDEF. A D major scale would be D E Fsharp GABCsharp D.

[DannJG]

for a minor scale, you start on a note, go up a whole step, then a half step, then a whole step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step. A F minor scale would consist of : F G Aflat Bflat, C Dflat, Eflat, F. A D minor scale would consist of D E F G A Bflat, C D. Instead of using the traditional D major scale: D E Fsharp G A B Csharp D, I used the D minor scale: D E F G A Bflat, C D. That all I did, I swear!!!

[ChiefLinesider07]

thanks for clearing things up. Appreciate you taking the time to explain yourself.

[taembelc08]

its a different key. usually minor keys sound sad compared to major keys

[itachi46]

isnt key the first note.. i.e. its like cmajor or dmajor.. minor is not shifting the whole scale by changing (as the poster stated) flattening the third sixth and seventh note of the scales.

[thumple]

finally one thats really in minor.

[jetluvr32]

did you make this up? i thought you would just apply the d minor key to canon in d like i do. but these is really cool. do you have sheet music?:)) great job.

[stacey3190]

sounds like its on b or something lol, piano needs tuned hehe

[ULTRASPEEDY1]

lol the piano is out of tune

[DannJG]

Of course it is, silly. That and the camera has bad sound quality. It would have sounded better if you were there.

[F7dim]

great arrangement!!! do you have sheet music for this????? waaaaaaa... i badly want one!!!

[Envyous]

what did this vid have to do with sephiroth anyway? And awesomez!

[soccer8great]

um, i dont think it had anything to do w/ sephiroth. wasnt that the one winged angel? mayb im missing somthing here tho...

[Shihtzu95]

I like how this one is actually in minor. The others I find that say "minor" are always major. I hate it. But yours is great!

[mlelouise]

nice job Dann, a personal favorite. By the way who's your piano teacher? haha!

[gatormoobucci]

dann is amazing,

[sk8nguitarstuff]

is that even you or is that like Alex or one of your brothers

[trooperman4]

sounds good

[melizto]

7 years

[abcpuzzle]

Finally a canon in d minor that is ACTUALLY d minor and not d major, with people falsely claiming it is d minor.

[DannJG]

I would like to thank all of my viewers for making this my most popular video, however, seeings as this doesn't even have 1000 veiws yet, that isn't saying much. Thank you all. Yes. Toast.

[exxucus949]

Wow, nice playing, happy 1,000 views once you reach it, and I have vids with views that are OVER 9,000!!!!!!!

Boredom FTW.

[F7dim]

We don't care for your vids anyway...

[kiriska]

I love arrangements of Canon in the minor key. If only I could find sheet music for it since I'm not capable enough to do it myself. D; This is beautiful, btw.

[hybridoxia]

Much better this way I think. I's cutt'n m'self by 00:15. :)

[sk8nguitarstuff]

uthugutokr there utter jibberish for u

[smofers14]

Hahh Dann.

Your ahhmazing ..lol

[DannJG]

well, with the left hand, you still had a stray f# and that had to go, but yeah it was fun doing it, i'm thinking of kinda using it for my band

[sharinganker]

hah, just wat ive been looking for for hours!! thanks dude. :] i think it could have done with the left hand normal though, and the right hand just how you played it

[DannJG]

come on, if you all are watching, post a comment. It doesn't even have to mean anyhting, it can be utter jibberish and whatnot
