Canon’s Heart
Johann Pachelbel’s Canon is a classical piece made popular by the movie “Sassy Girl”. This piece can be played using different instruments like the violin, the piano or even the electric guitar.
I’m not really a music guy, but for some strange reason I started practicing this piece in my organ. I have no formal piano lessons so it was really tough for me to learn it. Half way through I realize why I suddenly got the urge to practice. I want it to be a birthday present for a very special person. I practiced hard. Sometimes I stay up late so no one will bother me. Even when my dad got hospitalized I used the opportunity to practice using the hospital’s lobby piano. In the end, I managed to perform it for her.
Until now I play the Canon whenever I fell lonely. It enables me to express my loneliness in the form of notes. The repeating harmony reminds me to continue despite the hardships and heartaches. Learning this piece helps me to make a stronger bond with my fragile heart so I can hold it up together.
