Very nice! Bach would himself write for strings quartet if he listened to this! Good intonation and the arrangement is fine. The tempo is very in the baroque style and not in the modern time "running for life tempos" we often have to listen. Congratulations and keep up working in behalf of great music!
@91bobtest Well, jeez. This arrangement is for more younger players, obviously. Give them a break. One day, they will be able to play the original, but considering they are younger players, they did fairly well compared to others I have listened to who are their age.
@fruitikay and how old are they, may i ask? i know a 15 year old who can play the entire thing from memory on the violin. in fact he recorded himself playing all the parts-he plays all string instruments
@91bobtest They look high school or college age. There are videos on youtube of 3 year olds playing Paganini Caprice 24, that doesn't mean all 3 year olds should be able to play that.
@91bobtest , this video was uploaded almost 5 years ago. They were in middle school/junior high at the time. Currently, 3 are in conservatory and one is in art school.
Wow, this very difficult to listen to. The terrible sound quality in the recording is unacceptable.
First of all, the tempo is too slow and drags. The style was not correct. To play in the baroque style, you must use the upper half of the bow, clip the ends of the longer notes, and be sure not use too much vibrato.
@91bobtest Temp sounds fine to me. As far as "baroque style" um... this isn't baroque style. They didn't have string quartets back then. It's called an arrangement. They're trying to do something different. I thought they did just fine.
Ahh, how nice to finally hear it slowed down to a delightful moderato. The phrasing really resonates. The arrangement for quartet is also quite surprising. I like to be surprised! Bitches be crazy!
Following up on my previous comment, we just played this as a quartet, and it went very well. I actually think it might have been better than playing it with our full chamber orchestra last year. We also played the abridged version of movement 1 (without measures 46 to 125). Movement 3 is my favorite though.
uhhmmm... i hope you know its not the greatest idea to play a cello in a dress.... -.-" ive done it b4, never doing it again.. sides, i hate dresses.. -_-"
Don't let people like MrTerradat annoy you. People like that are trivial. I very much enjoyed the entire concerto which was beautifully performed by the very charming ladies. Thanks for a nice piece of work. Douglas
Interesting... First time I've heard someone else play the shortened version. We played that in our orchestra and quartet in highschool, and when I heard the long one I couldn't decide which I liked more. Brings back a lot of memories!
very nice! but why the shortened version? Measure 46 to 125 is missing in action, with all the nice but difficult arpegio's. We're playing this also, with bassoon, 2 violins and oboe, and it also works nicely compared to the 8 part string only original.
I agree with Freestyle. I much prefer this as a quartet, everything is much crisper than when played concerto grosso. The second movement is fantastic and the1st violinists ornamentation is perfect. PS: I'm pleased to see that you've taught your audience not to applaud between movements... ;)
It's a wonderful piece, but never arranged for string quartet.. there are 3 parts for each instrument.. violin 1 2 3, viola 1 2 3, cello 1 2 3, and bass. How can you play that in just 4 people? but wonderful job presenting this without all the parts
Beautiful sound, but personally, I don't think you qutie nailed the true baroque sound. Baroque is more "bouncy" and less vibrato. Other than that, I think it was a beautiful piece, and very well executed! Keep it up!
i think its good... im in a school chamber group and we are playing this and you guys didn't sound half bad.. im such a geek at practicing that i play along with you guys.. lol
You see, that's what turns non-technical people like myself off. "Oh, this is good, BUT, isn't there supposed to be this and that. Oh, where's the doohickie this and dillyhammer that?" "OH, wait, this isn't right, there's no"...bla bla bla bla bla..... It sounds awesome. If you don't like it, go make your own video and let us be the judge.
you fail to understand that classical music is based on helping others through criticism, Bach did not intend for his music to be played this way, nor like anyone else, technical skill is one of the most important parts in music, i would appreciate if you did not mock our society by calling our criticisms doohickies or dillyhammers, please do not post on videos too sophisticated for your own self.
and there is no proof for that, we do not know each other i do not know how sophisticated you are, nor you I, and it is unfair to compare your IQ to mine young one
it's arranged for a String Quartet, so they can only have 4 players. Reworking a 9 instrument piece for 4 and still make it hit the notes as if more instruments were there is quite an accomplisment.
wher did you got the sheet music for this, we hav e quartet, 3violins and cello, and were looking for new sheet music, it just that there arnt alot of arrangements for 3violins and cello aand we were thinking about brandenburg. plese help!!!!
Beautiful job ladies. I have always loved this song. I played it in the Orchestra in the 8th grade. It was a song that stuck with me. I can still play it :)
Words cannot describe the feeling this music gives me... chills... goose bumps!
Very beautiful, so relaxing... one of my favorites. All of you are amazing. I will never cease to admire Bach's natural mastery of the most diverse types of thematic modification, unexpected changes in the balance of instruments. Bachs's Branderburg Concertos are classical. The Baroque period... WOW... watching you has helped me soo much.. keep up the great work! You are all very gifted!
i played both of these movements-- after a while they're fun but the second one can get very hard to do---it's practically all 16th notes and 8th notes--- i played it in 8th grade on the best insturment ever--The VIOLA!!!!!!!!!
HAHAH xD i am concert master for my schools orchestra and i support the viola section this year for 7th grade but it was easy and awesome cause were not with the melody were like against it...but this year i have to play 1st violin concert master chair... D; you rock for liking the viola xD
lol the comment from "AnitaTseu" is my sisters account i had no clue i was on hers! xD sorry Dx but its still the same person from that comment so dont reply to her comment reply to this one
lovely! i think i sounds pretty, next year ill b in 8th grade nd in the concert orchestra, nd we have to learn this over the summer, but it sounds better with all the instruments like in this, in stead of just the violin! =)
lol if you have the first violin chair then it does sound good but its hard to play 2nd chair music is counter melody so it wont sound as well.. im concert master so yeah xD its easier when you are practicing as a group. lol but its good that you have to work on it over the summer cause im gonna be 8th grade too. But we just played it when i was in 7th lol
depending on what you are auditioning for...its okay if you make a mistake just go right through it and as long as you dont stop in between like for 2 seconjds or long then youre good. just practice hard and do your best if its too late then oh well but good luck anyways xD
Not every person is going to play Brandenburg the same way. Every playing group takes a song and makes it their own. If every group plays the same way, then whats the point? Thats the beauty of music.
& the exact piece that the video is playing says to play 'somewhat detatched.'
It's supposed to be played 'somewhat detached', not stacatto. Not all the notes have the dot over them. So they can have a little more long bows if they want.
Actually pretty much all the notes have stacatto markings over them, it does say somewhat detached in some peices but what they mean is that the stacatto is supposed to be detached. This peice is known for stacatto bows, long bows dont really fit the style of peice
true...very true...it says some what detached...not all notes have the stacatto over it...which means it can be played in different styles depending on the player...if it were all stacatto it wouldnt sound so beautiful because its all the same. lol I definetly agree with you...what I dont get is why people argue about stuff like this on YOUTUBE i mean its so stupid.. lol
but it doesnt matter if its for String Quartet or not. its the same song just 4 instruments. obviously you arent a musician ^_^" okay, you believe whatever... ^_^"
just because the 1st didnt play the stacatto doesnt mean she ruined the piece, it just didnt sound right at that exact part. so you have polayed this piece as well ^_^" okay well I see you know your music. okie dokie gotta go.
Look, the peice is supposed to be played stacatto, it sounds good though, ask anyone who is actually a good musician and they will tell u that this peice is supposed to be played stacatto. Think whatever u want but a piece is supposed to played how its written. Jeez
uhm Im a GOOD musician... and I know how to play this piece properly...not all of the notes in this song has the stacatto marking over it..if it all did then the piece would sound almost the same because its all stacatto, but what Bach's purpose of creating this piece what to make changes (stacatto no staccato, different bowing styles) to test if you can endure the changes throughout the piece...this is a test to see if you are a good musician to interpret this composition...
This song is so fun to play.

It might be the encoding they used. The violins sound a little deeper and lower tone, so this might be the reason.
Its like if you play a cassette tape slowly or at regular speed, the mechanical playback might not capture the speed quickly enough.
This could have been dubbed from tape instead of a direct digital recording.

lol if you have the first violin chair then it does sound good but its hard to play 2nd chair music is counter melody so it wont sound as well.. im concert master so yeah xD its easier when you are practicing as a group. lol but its good that you have to work on it over the summer cause im gonna be 8th grade too. But we just played it when i was in 7th lol

woah! you guys are really good! I have to play this piece for an audition but I can't seem to play it through without getting a mistake!
Serinale71996 3 years ago
depending on what you are auditioning for...its okay if you make a mistake just go right through it and as long as you dont stop in between like for 2 seconjds or long then youre good. just practice hard and do your best if its too late then oh well but good luck anyways xD

Not every person is going to play Brandenburg the same way. Every playing group takes a song and makes it their own. If every group plays the same way, then whats the point? Thats the beauty of music.
& the exact piece that the video is playing says to play 'somewhat detatched.'

It's supposed to be played 'somewhat detached', not stacatto. Not all the notes have the dot over them. So they can have a little more long bows if they want.
Mauidude94 3 years ago
Actually pretty much all the notes have stacatto markings over them, it does say somewhat detached in some peices but what they mean is that the stacatto is supposed to be detached. This peice is known for stacatto bows, long bows dont really fit the style of peice

true...very true...it says some what detached...not all notes have the stacatto over it...which means it can be played in different styles depending on the player...if it were all stacatto it wouldnt sound so beautiful because its all the same. lol I definetly agree with you...what I dont get is why people argue about stuff like this on YOUTUBE i mean its so stupid.. lol

violinist125 3 years ago
arranged for String Quartet did you not see
apqcelloman 3 years ago
yeah its good..... but it would be soooo much better if she played stacatto..... shes a really good player otherwise
violinist125 3 years ago
but it doesnt matter if its for String Quartet or not. its the same song just 4 instruments. obviously you arent a musician ^_^" okay, you believe whatever... ^_^"
titanic6712 3 years ago
just because the 1st didnt play the stacatto doesnt mean she ruined the piece, it just didnt sound right at that exact part. so you have polayed this piece as well ^_^" okay well I see you know your music. okie dokie gotta go.
titanic6712 3 years ago
Look, the peice is supposed to be played stacatto, it sounds good though, ask anyone who is actually a good musician and they will tell u that this peice is supposed to be played stacatto. Think whatever u want but a piece is supposed to played how its written. Jeez
violinist125 3 years ago
uhm Im a GOOD musician... and I know how to play this piece properly...not all of the notes in this song has the stacatto marking over it..if it all did then the piece would sound almost the same because its all stacatto, but what Bach's purpose of creating this piece what to make changes (stacatto no staccato, different bowing styles) to test if you can endure the changes throughout the piece...this is a test to see if you are a good musician to interpret this composition...
