Please don’t hate me because I’m beautiful. The compositions that musicians and radio presenters hate the most
Remember this borderline nauseating commercial.

Here are some of the compositions that musicians and radio presenters hate with a passion.
1. Pachelbel Canon
They are sick of the Canon, but the majority of their current listeners are not. They absolutely love it, especially the ones hearing it for the first time.
They think it’s beautiful.
And someone is always hearing the Canon, Vivaldi’s 4 Seasons and the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 for the first time.
“I’m not going to this concert because they’re playing the Pachelbel Canon,” said nobody ever.
I love this beautiful, fresh rendition of the Pachelbel Canon performed by the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (LAGQ).

Oddly, while there are those who prefer not to schedule the Canon, the Rachmaninov Piano Concertos Nos. 2, 3 and his Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini — The Bruch, Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn Violin Concertos — Dvorak’s “New World” Symphony and Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade, they delight in scheduling tertiary composers like Reinecke, Giuliani, Josef Mysliveček and Raff.
