now i may only be a couple years into a general study of music but it seems theres a lack of dynamic here. the violin should be a bit more pronounced and the melody should be a bit softer, not the other way around. now im not saying i dont like it, just a little off. frankly the piano should have a bit more echo too, as well as being a bit more pronounced
sorry to be a douche, but isn't this technically a Piano Quintet? ;) well forget that, this is one of the better classical arrangements i've heard of this! all these orchestral ones are terrible! :| i love this though! :)
I think this version literally brought a tear to my eye its absolutely Beautiful. And to all those "no piano only string" people I think the piano augments the strings beautifully so it doesn't matter just enjoy the song
Such an extensive argument over it being percussion or not, I'm sure the guy that brought it up doesn't even care. Bravo guy that brought it up well played.
About all this stupid "it says string so it has to be all string!" its called the string quartet meaning 4 members all playing strings. It doesn't try to show off the fact they all play strings. Who really cares if they use drums, its not the band it just guests on some songs. Also this particular band is the Vitamin Quartet.
alot of people should get smacked or slapped for not liking this music they r idiots i think!! This is real music unlike Justin Biber crap and shit they play today i mean damn!!!!!
@KolerikRocks Everyone has there own tastes and opinions. It is not your place to punish those who's differ. That, my friend, is the difference between democracy and fascism.
Justin Biber is a real musician. His musical quality might be horrendous to us, but that does not mean it is wrong for others to receive enjoyment from listening to it.
about the "percussion-instrument controversy" ; yes, the piano is a string instrument. Callins it a percussion instrument, you could say that all instrument are percussion. A violin's string is hit at a very high frequency by the bow's asperities, a harmonica/accordion's notes are made by the air hitting littles plates of copper, making them vibrate, a trumpet's sound is made with the player blowing raspberries (PRRRT) into it... It is all vibration, created by something hitting something else

I think speaks volumes to how well this song was written that it sounds so good played by a string quartet. Queen are like the modern day Bach or Beethoven, just virtuoso stuff. Especially the Rhapsody part, sounds ridiculously good.
@acrosstheuniverse520 ....Fuck. I know this. Using the back of the bows...... Col Legno, or something. I know that's what it's called, spelling was what 'or something' was. Haha.
Pianos are a percussion instrument. Yes they have strings, but they are referred to as percussion instruments due to the hammers actually striking the strings, making the sound.
ok first of all this is right, a piano is a strung instrument but....... and yes i say but, because it has "hammers that strike the "string" the piano is labled as a percussion instrument.
@guitarmankev1 actually yeh they are a real string quartet. and i know you ll comment about the piano but how do pianos work? STRINGS and hammers. but they are amazing.
sorry bro, but pianos are officially accepted as string instruments. if you were to use a mallet on a guitar, it wouldn't become a percussion instrument. Just because you can't see the strings doesn't mean it isn't a string instrument. Ask any music teacher, a string quartet can just as easily refer to a piano (+ 3 other string instrus) as it can a cello, viola, violin, etc.
