Great Composers: Johann Pachelbel 

All the music that I use for each video is listed in the video's description!

You're the third to request Méreaux, and so he's moved up in the request pool!

@@ClassicalNerd Add +1 request. I was transcribing one of his works and was gonna translate his biography so it gets easier for a video and then request mereaux but great someone already started requesting it :D The biography I mean is: mereaux.pagesperso-orange.fr/Amedee_Mereaux.htm Some extra info if you're ever gonna do it: As it seems Mereaux loved making variantions(till now almost every piece with a MIDI, except etudes, he makes it in sort of a fantasia variations form). His etudes don't really represent his kind of style, but many of them are really worth listening, such as etudes 8 or 9(forgot), 13, 16, 20, 23, 28(one of the two fugues, I personally find it a true masterpiece), 31, 33, his sonate(34-36), 38(really fun chromaticism, tempo probably irrealistic), 41(Elegia, iirc its in methodes des methodes moscheles thing, sorry really can't remember the name), 43, 45(worth just due to the crazy technique :P a big issue here is many MIDIs put a very high tempo where the sheet didn't specify one then people go on saying its impossible), 47(cappricio alla fuga, love it, seems like mereaux enjoyed fugues), 50(Calmato, my 10$ bet is that when played by an human it sounds really good, same goes for 51), Tarantelle 52(because its just necessary to add it when talking of mereaux even if its not his main work :P), his fugue 55(the second fugue from the set, really interesting theme built with almost only 1 motif), 57 just for the amazing melody :P would love to see human recording, and last his etude 59. I got a playlist with the best recordings I can find(an exception is the etude 34-36, the best one is in a single video but it would mess things up) if you wanna hear. Recommend also hearing caprice a la hongroise. Sorry for my messy english, not native :P

You requested this on my previous video and it's already been acknowledged in the pool: www.lentovivace.com/classicalnerd.html

Added.

While this video dates before I started saving sources in the video descriptions (sorry!), I always use academic sources for scripts. The speculative date that I mentioned likely comes from a dissertation or thesis of some sort.

Cellists tend to not like it for its repetitive nature. As for Pachelbel's opinion ... it is simply conjecture on my part, obviously, but given the history of composers who have come to resent or despise the pieces that they're most known for in the cultural zeitgeist-Debussy with _Claire de Lune,_ Holst with _The Planets,_ and Beethoven with his "Moonlight" Sonata among that number-I cannot imagine that Pachelbel would be okay with the narrowness of the spotlight that has shown on his canon, as it has not illuminated his other works. A lot of people just know "Pachelbel's Canon" without thinking too hard about there being an actual guy named Pachelbel who was behind it, and I think that's a shame.

You've already requested Revueltas, and he's currently fourth in the request pool: lentovivace.com/classicalnerd.html

Górecki has moved up in the request pool: www.lentovivace.com/classicalnerd.html

Fun fact: "Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck" is the wifi network name at the apartment of one of my friends.

So I can talk if I write a piece that gets famous approximately 275 years after its composition? 🤔
