Played "Variations on a Kanon" again today! ^^

Ok, so to continue my last post...
The cons of playing this piece (at least for myself because I'm not particularly adept in playing, after maintaining a hiatus from playing the piano for around 4 to 5 years >_<" during which I forgot how to read the bass clef -____-") include an aspect that's a bit ironic (situational irony anyone? -^o^-) - is the chords!
As I mentioned before, the main reason I love this version of Pachelbel's Canon ever since I first heard a recording of it, is because of the richness and depth of sound the chords seem to bring to the entire piece! And perhaps, this is also enhanced by the different key (C major versus D major) that this version is written in that allows it to be something similar to...another perspective of the classical Pachelbel's Canon? And perhaps the different key (C major versus D major) that it is written in probably also enhances this version. I also think the faster tempo (allegro? rather than andante...) it is played at, compared to the original "Pachebel's Canon", near the climax of the piece allows it to create a more celebratory? and a bit hopeful? tone.
Anyway, the main problem I'm facing is that everytime I come across a chord (versus just single notes) I have to stop for five seconds to look up at the sheet music and back down at the piano to confirm which notes are in the chord and where they are on the piano (more times than not I play the wrong note the first time -_-") and it gets quite frustrating for me b/c it takes me forever to finish just one run through of the piece...I don't like having to pause after ever other chord - it completely ruins the melody! >:{ But I guess its part of the process I have to suffer of relearning piano >_<"
...I feel sorry for my family though, having to listen to me try to sight-read, Message to mi familia: Sorry mum, dad, kenny! (note to self: must get then something extra nice for their b-days / do more chores around the house! >_<)
