[petruz1993]

whats the name of the piece at 2:04

[ginawinters221]

@petruz1993 Bach A minor violin concerto. /geek

[petruz1993]

@ginawinters221 Thanks, i gess... Liking classical music is geekish?

[bartmeijer1954]

And between Vivaldia and Bach there is a fragment of Beethoven.

[bartmeijer1954]

The one between Mozart and Tchaikovsky is Shostakovich. You can hear his signature tune.

[lionstar2222]

Can someone provide the list of the names of the 14 concertos?

[malikrox]

@lionstar2222 I know almost all of them, There was Bruch 1, then Sibelius, Mozart 3, I don't recognise that one, then Tchaikovsky, Brahms (3rd movement), Prokofiev 2, Mendelssohn, Vivaldi "Spring", don't know that one, Bach A minor, Saint-Saëns no. 3, Paganini no. 1, and that's all the ones I know.

I saw him live with Joo and Gideon Kremer after I saw some videos on youtube. It was just great.

If you can see them, then try it!

[Caramellatta]

Ouch. I don't think I got them all. Nice!

[alei666]

So glad I was able to attend this (expensive enought really). It truely was a crazy night and I so enjoyed it. Thanks so much for an outstanding sunday evening :D

[CLASSICAListheWAY]

Flawless as always! Thanks for posting Mr. Igudesman.

[cclementi6]

I wanted them to actually play the birthday song...

[chawinnieshu]

delightful!

[ALAPINO]

It's a good thing you didn't actually play "Happy Birthday"-- the woman who owns the rights is an INSANELY rich person because people think that Happy Birthday is in the public domain. :P

Bravo- as per usual!

[nevensky1]

@ALAPINO most fortunately sir, that is not true. The copyright applies only on the lyrics of the "Happy Birthday to You" song which was copyrighted by the Summy Comp. in 1935. (the rights were later purchased by another company). The melody originally came from Patty Hill and Mildred J. Hill who in 1893. wrote the song "Good Morning to All" for piano. This song had none of today's lyrics. Do note that only the lyrics were copyrighted while the melody was not and can be freely preformed.

[1Silvus1]

keep up the good work

[omatu1]
