[TAK0ninja]

incredible! i loved every second of it1

incredible job guys

[MrAkihiros]

This is the first time I've heard this and Shostakovich is enjoyng one hell of a party.

[jadedkiwi23]

Don't forget guys, all the movements are attacca. The second movement is allegro molto, third is allegretto, 4 & 5 are largo. Gosh I love this quartet so much. "Patrons of war"

[violalord1]

violist is awesome

[markjohnstonviolin]

This is the second part of the video of the performance of the complete work, consisting of the third and fourth movements. We took second place in the competition.

[MrStivers]

did u win the competition, i watched all of ur videos and this is the best performance of this piece that i have seen

[tonacasas]

This is the third, Allegretto. There is a mistake on the title. Second is Allegro molto. First and V are largo

[xXLeafXNinjaXx]

GAH i love the quote from the cello concerto !

[soond1456]

I dont know why u guys gave these guys only 3and a half stars.... I think they deserve 5 ^^

[soulreapr1]

You are right. The 2nd movement is much more intense.

[Cheerioats]

love it

but, isn't this the 3rd movement?

[halo3bookguy]

no it is the second

[Arodang]

It is the third.

[WalrusInATopHat]

and the fourth

[DezparE]

No, the 1st and the 3rd are calm

[Cheerioats]

that's weird, cause I remeber that this si the third, I've danced to this and I remeber it to be the third, this must be a mistake on the title, I can't be sure but everywhere I looked it is the third....

[DezparE]

That's odd. When my friends played it and I listened it was a calm chapter, that chapter and then the third movement was calm.

Maybe people have mixed it up somehow? I'll see when I play this, was planning on buying the sheet music.

[DezparE]

Although I'm not sure, this might be the third. Guess I'll find out soon ^^

[Cheerioats]

yeah that would be cool, I mean I am not sure now anymore, but I just remember it to be the third. Well if you do play this, you can tell me :)

[MrUtube14]

it is the third

[slateflash]

Creepy trills!

[Heifetz101]

I know the first violinist!!

[thinker93]

stupid echo! it ruins the song! why perform in a gym?!

[randomperson1792]

Yea the echo really does ruin it.

[parallax7d]

I completely disagree. The texture and tone is still spot on, and the lingering notes help balance the dry melody. I think this is the best performance of this piece I've ever heard. Fantastic timing and sublime dynamics, bravo!

[dwardom7k]

it sounds so... dark i guess is the right word. i really like it. Reminds me of some of the Dimmu Borgir intros

[theREALmoopie]

kgb knocking on door parts were very nice!
