Canon Rock



The New York Times reveals the identity of "funtwo", the guy playing Pachelbel's Canon in that video above. Somewhere in the middle - around 3:30 or so - the playing gets really, really impressive.

There are significant differences between FunTwo's performance and Jerry C's performance. One should listen to the differences in technical interpretation. FunTwo is very metronomic and highly technical where Jerry C employs musical nuances such as diminution or augmentation. An example of where Jerry C pushes the beat slightly is at 3:53 where FunTwo keeps straight time.

Right after the break at 4:19, Jerry C ascends in a scalar fashion to the climax and FunTwo will skip intervalically to the climax.

Tonally, Jerry C uses darker tonality and FunTwo has chosen a brighter tonality.

There are many facits of the musicality of these two excellent performances.

I would like to see more analysis of these artists' interpretations of the Canon Rock from Pachelbel's Canon.
