This is my favourite piano piece from the movie Forrest Gump. Everything in this movie is almost perfect. The movie, actor and music.
From the famous composer:
Forrest Gump Theme - Alan Silvestri

Changing musical palette to classicals.
thanks to Pappy for introduction ...
Pachelbel's Canon D
Canon in D has a three-part melodic canon (major) that blends harmonically and structurally on a two-bar ground bass (minor).
