this song has crossed from being a just a song to a living being touch the listener's soul with its emotions....i was intimidated and in awe of this piece
apple music pls!
i can listen this beautiful piece in deezer?I don't have spotify
Can you do Story book love by mark knopfler? I would enjoy your rendition.
Why post the music sheet
I came here expecting a song but I got a story instead. I'm not disappointed.
Should be a story writer too.
piece*
@@samuelsong2362 It can be said either way, I guess :/
Yeah I love the story, very well written
Slightly to say that..
That human hands did this, regardless of amount of tries, will never cease to amaze me
Humans hands are truly a wonder of biological evolution.
The possibilities, precision and strength in it is mindblowing
Remember, he used 1 take .. that's not a human
@@avalon4352 alien
round of applause to all of ya.
I think you mean practice not tries. This isnt some trickshot video
The only thing that's more impressive than the fact he can compose this is the fact that he can play this.
absolutely a genius in so many ways
You have done something not many composers can do. You put a story to music without the music itself being the story. It's incredible. I will forever place you with the many rest of the great composers of history.
Uh, you may want to look up program music. It's a thing.
@@VideoMask93 Huh, I've never heard of program music but when I look it up, I was under the impression that all music was program music. But I suppose most classical pieces really were just ballroom dance stuff, with no meaning beyond the sounds.
@@hansomekim1219 To be honest, the term still confuses me on occasion-my personal definition would be that "program music" is any music that, through music (not lyrics), evokes some image. For instance, Iron Maiden songs like The Trooper evoke horse gallops with their galloping basslines. The 1812 overture shows the conflict between France and Russia by contrasting La Marseillaise with Russian sacred and folk songs, culminating in God Save the Tsar during the famous finale.
This is how I rationalize that pop songs are otherwise all program music-if a song is just meant to be listened to for its melody and lyrics in itself, then that doesn't seem programmatic to me. YMMV.
@@VideoMask93 Hey, I don't know if you'll see this comment, but I really appreciate that you brought up program music. Something I have circled around, but never explored directly. Thanks a bunch!

It's a freaking story!
and it made me cry, this could be a published story.
yeah, it could. its pretty great.
I could do that. I'm really good at writing stories.
Yeah I agree i liked it vr much 🙂👌👍♥️♥️♥️
Wow!!! What an Easter egg! Turning captions on,mind blown again!!! 💜
Hey, this rhymes!
For those of you longtime fans of this channel, you'll know this piece has another name: "Pachelbel's Nightmare"
I remember that :) Quite amazed by realizing what the name actually meant!
It's obvious that your skills has upgraded so much, but also the biggest change i think is the piano that doesn't look like it's gonna collapse xd
One of my favorites! Great playing!
lol yeah ive been watchin u since the start, PLS DONT STOP MAKING VIDEOS!
Wow, that was a *while* ago! You’re the OG YT pianist (other than Lisitsa I guess)
Captions: It's neither man or a monster.
My Brain: it was a woman
Underrated
omg lol
3 am thoughts be like:
I feel like this song should really be called Pachelbel's Journey... Its almost like a Journey through the world of Canon rather than a nightmare.
I believe (could be wrong) it's named Pachelbel's Nightmare in reference to Kepler's Somnium (1634), believed to be one of the earliest science fiction stories. I haven't read Somnium, but I have read Galileo's Dream by Kim Stanley Robinson and there are clear parallels between Pachelbel's and Galileo's respective stories.
Me listening without caption: This is beautiful, is this an interpretation of life??
Me finally realizing there's caption: Hold up, is this a...fan-fiction?
"The two spring at each other, arms flailing, claws gleaming. Furious, they start punching each other with the force of two guys who clearly have no training."
lol probably my favorite part of this story
Liked this part, too. Nice comedic touch to the story
ooooooooo
"Now die noob!" Sounds like someone imitating a gamer without playing games
The UA-cam algorithm does indeed occasionally send one a gem - today it gave us this! We laughed, we cried and we subscribed - you were not lying when you called it "epic!"
This should have a billion views. Not only is the piano playing amazing but so is the story.
This is honestly one of the best improvised Canon in D I have ever heard. Not only because there is a story behind it, but also because how you transformed a piece of music that was supposed to calm and peaceful to something out of the era. This improvised version is truly beautiful. Thank you so much for making this version, we all love it.
And you should write out a sheet music of this, and publish it as "Pachelbel's Nightmare".
I am sure lots of people will love it.
I'm pretty sure that this was fully written out and not just improvised :p
ok, r/whoosh me now
@@_introvertivy_166 r/shoohw
I'm not sure many could follow it all. I love piano, but I am not graced with the talent for it.
Yeah😊😊😊
But he's using too many arpeggios! /s
Turn on captions for an immersive experience!!! What do you guys think of the story?
Can you do La Campanella for the next video please?
Oh, also, today is Liszt's birthday!
Oh no! I'm not a fast reader so i was not fully able to follow it but what i was able to follow was super!
This was amazing. Music and language belong together, not necessarily in song either. Good work.
They were awesome! I like it! The captions were the perfect speed for me. It was an great story! It really fit the music! Great playing too!
How's the sheet music for Rebel Without a Cause coming?
Bravo! As a cellist this hits home but I really enjoyed your arrangement and the story telling as well! Fantastic!
Argh, you’re really gonna make me listen to Pavonian’s Pachelbel rant again, aren’t you.
I played the cello for a year and my sister had played it for years so I do get it and I love the cello
I just find it really really amazing how a single piece of music can bring someone to tears.
The ability of a good piece of music, combined with a good pianist, will never fail to amaze me.
Simply having a good piece of music is not enough, nor is only having a good pianist good enough.
It needs both.
I seriously did not except myself to sit in front of my iPad and listen to someone play Canon in D for 12 minutes. But every single note here is nothing short of beautiful
☝🏻me too! thank u @musicalbasics! ur story and piece was really good!
"...sometimes the UA-cam algorithm can find gems in the most unsuspecting places..."
INdEEd!! I just stumbled onto ur page while searching moonlight sonata... 😂
I didn't expect either, yet I am more than happy. I just love both the interpretation and the story. Well done!
Wait, it was twelve minutes?
@@soapybagle 12:26 hah see this comment three months later
10:17 His right hand almost ruined the entire take 😂
Haha yeah lol
Dang I saw that right away his hand was too far left but corrected to the right
First he wanted to do it an octave lower.
🤣🤣🤣 that was so close! I just now noticed! Man, that would've been a disaster!
Fr tho it almost did

Captions: Unlike violas, cellos matter
*TwoSetViolin has entered the chat*
Ah yes 2set wanabaes
Me: I'm going to learn the basics of piano
" goes to musical basics"
Me: judging by the channel name this should be the perfect channel.
" watches video"
Me: well if these are the basics than I'm never gonna learn.
Check the channel's description. Although I'm sure you already did.
I even bought the sheet music for my sister (pianist) thinking maybe she could tackle it over the coming winter months. She did play the first section but said 'This is concert pianist stuff. Way beyond me'... I suggested 'Maybe play each hand separately to start with?' (I'm no pianist). This piece in indeed truly EPIC... Takes my breath away... And I've listened to it several times now... Good luck with your piano playing!
Shadow: I'm actually a pretty big fan of yours, I like your style better than Bach
Pachelbel: Really?! Besides my Canon in D, which other pieces do you like?"
Shadow: uhhhhh...... I don't remember... wait, you wrote other pieces?
Lolicon Sean hahahahaha very good ;)
I know only one other piece. Fuga c major
Bach didnt make a piece that year umm
Soul crushed
Shadow used what other music
Pachelbel *critical hit*
Without subtitles: one of the most epic and emotional pieces of music I will ever hear
With subtitles: a short film which deserves at least 3 Oscars (Best OST, Best Script and Best Actor)
For some 25 years or so, Pachelbel's Canon in D has probably been my most loved and favorite piece of music in any genre, ever! It took me until today, 3 years after you composed this, to find your version. I have to say you did and amazing and fantastic job. I have never heard a remix/alternate version so powerfully done then this one. It took me back to when I would listen to Pachelbel's Canon in D cranked so loud I couldn't hear anything else but that, over and over again. So beautifully and emotionally done. Thank You!
I expected a song, got a story.
A story that made me cry to tears of happiness
"unlike violas, cellos actually do matter"
I've never heard a truer sentence
The right hand is like: this song again
The left hand is like: wait for it
neon 1 piece
LOL 😂
neon 1 piece*
9:34 onwards brought tears to my eyes. No words, just pure admiration and adoration.
The story is heartwarming and wholesome, yet with a few hints of darkness and lots of humor, and the music fits so well
So good :D
I don’t know what I was expecting... but it definitely wasn’t this lol. The captions were amazing
cm222
Congratulations! It’s so great to see someone who put their soul in the music. You’re the best example of people like that. I sure that one day more and more people will be interested in your music.
Thank you for goosebumps
This piece has changed me in ways I never knew. From tough times at work I remember that this piece and its feelings were always there for me. From being one of the first ones to come online when the live stream started, I can tell that just watching this piece from when it was released was just yesterday, even though now, it has been over a year. Keep inspiring people with your music, you are awesome!
I've only discovered your channel a few days ago, totally head over heels and I have little interest in hearing other pianists, regardless of how good they may be, I find a deeper connection with your gift, it not only speaks, it deeply sings to my soul.
It really helps to see the visual aid of the upcoming notes, for us noobs at least.
I wasn't expecting anything other than slightly different pachelbel's nightmare but WOW this is good. The story as well 👀👀👀. Really outdone yourself this time!!
Finally we reached 100k subscribers! Thank you guys so much for subscribing and for watching, and I appreciate all your support! I read every comment! Like 👍 this video if you enjoyed :)
Hey Lionel Great playing in that video loved, but I wanted to ask you about the sheet music from one of the songs you played in an older video of yours (its called „rebel without a cause“) and I can’t find it in your store 🙁. Please Tell me if and where I can get it (I really want to learn that Peace myself 😭)!
@@freezmode1417 a few months ago I asked him about it too and I'm pretty sure he is working on the sheets. I really want to learn it too. I've learned some of it by ear but it's really hard and slow learning by ear.
This song, in many variations, speaks to me and this version is utterly amazing I can’t tell you how many times, in the last 2 years, I have listened to it… great work!
Dude I teared up at the story. the piece is incredible. You've done something beautiful
Imagine trying to walk down the aisle to this!
I'm a bit late to this video, but I love it. I don't know if you'll ever see this but I want you to know that I've been viewing your channel since you posted the AMA on Reddit. Your channel has grown so much and so has your music. You put emotion into every note, turning everything into a story (in this video, literally!) Your style of music speaks to me and I really connect with the specific way that you play. I never learned how to play the piano nicely, since it's not my passion, but I can see myself in your pieces and it really amazes me how you can use simple combinations of notes in order to paint such a nice picture. Thanks for playing.
thanks so much! I've been obsessed with playing piano this way for the past 10+ years. I've always believed that performance should be played with 100% of one's heart and soul, and I'm glad you were able to observe this.
NO I AM NOT CRYING!!! It's from not blinking for 12 minutes straight trying to focus on reading and looking at the beauty! AND understanding this deep relationship Johann has with his inner self ... ok... maybe I was teary by the end.
The story was COMPLETELY *beautiful* it fits well with the music too.... I even cried a bit
2 set violin MUST see this!
You should definitely make a Spotify. I would love to listen to music like this whenever I open up the app.

This is absolutely amazing. You're precision in hitting the scales, repeatedly at that, and your expressiveness into the piece leave me without words. Superb job. 👏👏👏
The pen on paper writes not only the narrative but the score, and the score mirrors deep of a pen writing a narrative
Great music comes from great stories, and from great music come great stories
The story in the subtitles was so amazing 😭

The secret to become immortal in a field of work of innovation and creativity is to be just yourself and delve into the passion and the love of your work. The culmination of your passion, your love towards that work, your hard work and determination will surely produce something that will engrave your name for timeless periods on the golden pages of history.
I love those arpeggios tho.
A prime example of how music, when applied to it's fullest potential, reaches into the depths of the Human spirit and in turn enriches and uplifts it closer to the divine.
I just realized there is a story with this. I am glad I noticed it.
You are very bright and talented, among many other qualities. I like that you included some of your own insecurities, because in doing so you are, building a lighthouse (for lack of better words) for those behind you in their paths, helping encourage and assuring they aren't alone.
I so fully am grateful for you and what you have created and shared with us. Words will never express the joy and range of emotions that I have gotten to experience.
Thank you so much
Daym, this is gonna be *E P I C*
E P I C O

nice
I love how symbolic this is, the subtitles are amazing and the story fits extremely well with the piece, especially when the tonality changes to major near the ending. So deep and nice.
I just listened to the whole thing again with captions on and now I'm crying my eyes out 🥺
That was beyond amazing and I'm speechless
I just can't get over this lovely masterpiece!
Such an amazing work you have done, my man.
I am blessed to hear this.
No matter How bad I feel, This just changes my mood and saves my day.
Love ya xx.
It actually changed my mood. I feel great now
Im going to tell you honestly you have me crying hard here for a good 5 minutes and the song isnt even done
His left hand was just being thrown around but in a way that it produced this masterpiece
I absolutely didn't cry while listening to this piece
*wiping away a tear
"Just one more arpeggio." Love IT! LOVE YOUR STORIES! You have a gift for storytelling as well as mad skills and a gift for music. Keep up with your playing. Keep following your heart and your dreams. 💜🖤
The story was actually kind of good
Channel name: Musical“Basics” Song: Crazy insane and super difficult
Bro I wasn't expecting this to be so emotional!!! Amazing job!!! I love how you used this to express how you feel!!!
one of the greatest and most memorable piano videos I’ve watched on youtube
This was not what I signed up for, expected a Canon, expected a D major key.
I love it.
This was a rollercoaster of emotion and arpeggios
I can’t tell who had more genius. The creator of the piano, the original score or the adaptation. Thank you for an early morning delight.
I always make up stories to accompany any instrumental song I hear. I can’t help it. So as a connoisseur of mental musical narratives, I can say you’ve done an amazing job. Thank you for sharing it with us.
You deserved this subs years ago!

This is true art. The story behind this piece really brings the whole thing together. I really can't describe how much I was geeking out at it. The thought of Pachelbel complaining about how he doesn't have notation software and being completely mystified about what a "youtuber" is had me grinning wildly. I also appreciate you giving us a small glimpse into yourself through this story.
I'm glad I found your channel. The youtube algorithm finally did something right.
I've watched this several times now. Almost daily. It's inspiring every single time.
I cryed to. Very moving and emotional. The best version of pachelbel's Canon I've ever heard. I've always wanted to play the piano especially this song but in its normal fashion this was beyond normal it was absolutely amazing

Just clicked just because of this and got disappointed 🙄 I found it just when I read your comment haha
Lol yea true

Pachelbel: *cries in wedding music*
BRAVO! (standing ovation, wiping tears from my eyes, gazing in amazement, etc.)
Love this. The story captions together with how well-played this complicatedly beautiful piece is, it's so immersive and emotion-evoking, even including some of the humourous parts.
Lionel, please do a epic version of La Campanella. That (or maybe a mashup of it and some other Liszt piece) would be the most virtuosic and epic piece ever to be created. That would just make my life complete. Please, I beg you, do this for us.
Like if you agree!
👇🏼
YES good idea
Watched the premiere and watching it again.... it has all your fabulous essences and I love the arranged parts of Canon and your own music in between as well as the dramatic parts and the tender parts. This really hit my heart ❤️ Awesome, true genius work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😊👍🏼
That was absolutely beautiful! The story just simply added to the wonder that is this song. You took one of my favorite songs of all time and gave it even more depth. Truly amazing! 👏🤙
I cannot comprehend how amazing this is, from the storyline and the fact that someone could play this is incredibly amazing (here for my monthly watch since 2020) 💖
This is one of the coolest, funniest things I've ever heard/seen. Its artistical but the comedy is perfect. And yes, you do use a lot if arpeggios. I, personally, love arpeggios. Thanks for the laugh. I've been pretty down lately. You combined two of my favourite things.
This was truly amazing, the piece plus the story got me teary eyed.
Very well done, keep going I love it !!
That was so immersive. So deep. So real. Thank you for sharing your story and your incredible talent.
I would call this brilliant,, but that would be too big an understatement. Genius doesn't even cover it. It would have been brilliant without the storied caption, but the story accompanying the music puts it on a whole new level. Pachelbel's Canon is easily in my top 5 pieces of classical music, and you have certainly done it justice. And as an added bonus, I learned a bit of musical history as well. I am going to subscribe to your channel and check out some of your other music as well.
BRAVO!
The story that goes with this fabulous piece absolutely glorious! as the story says , I think this would truly be Pachelbel's Nightmare! But no doubt this the one of the best variations on Canon in D I have ever heard! Very well done for writing such a great pice :)
The epicness is overwhelming. It's simply mindblowing! What a story 😍 music and text.
This is hands-down the most entertaining thing I’ve ever experienced in my 4 decades on this planet. Thank you!!!!!
This is probably the best self-insert fanfic I've read in my entire life. The music fits so well with the story. It conveys every emotion expressed in the story.
Is it okay that I cried. For a long time
This is truly beautiful ❤️
Yes😊
That new melody at 1:08 so good!
This made me cry. Thank you.
i love this song so much i listen to this every day
Congratulations on 100k once again! (Yu deserve at least two Billion more) It sure was entertaining seeing Pachelbel fight Yo Yo Ma's demon with epicness playing in the background. Good job!
one of my favorite pieces of all time. I love the moonlight sonata, probably more, but this piece is SO SO SO POWERFUL
Look, I've been binging these all day at work, and THIS is how you incorporate the story element. Give a prompt at the beginning of the piece, then use the subtitles. Best way to do it IMO
I just found this and OMG those captions were great! Well done, I can't imagine how long this took.
I like how you use classical pieces to add story to the respective composer. You earned yourself a subscriber. (I’ve only heard Canon so far but I can guarantee Pachelbel is great)
I will never hear this piece the same way again! Thank you, this is beautiful. You have an amazing talent, and I am so privileged to live in a time where someone like you can put together a visually engaging and breathtaking new way to take in some of the most beautiful music ever written for someone like me. And man, those stories are incredible. This and one other so far have made me cry. Do you write them yourself? They are amazing, and as a musician, journalist, and published poet - you make me want to challenge myself to do write alongside a piece of music history myself. That, and more than anything, this production made me want to stop my playlist and seek out your original compositions. Subliminal advertising meets shameless self-promotion, wrapped up in acid-laced classical music fanfiction. Who knew? And yes, you can totally caption a video with that phrase ;) But whatever you do, please don't stop making these videos! I needz them in meh lifes!
The composition is absolute perfection! The story is an excellent bonus. Love how the story beats follow the story’s tone.
Woahhh this is soo cooool!!!!!!!!! 😄💕 The playing, composing, story, everything was brilliant.
Finishing listening to that and hearing the story is so fulfilling, this is so AWESOME!!! Amazing job! The story is amazing!
It's true that you use a lot of arpeggios, your music is so good that I doubt that it will ever be forgotten.
The low notes are always my favourite in any piece, I love this
