ASS TO ASS

Intonation and tempo problems (rushing and slowing down), very boring and lack of expression. The first violin was just awful. This was a terrible interpretation. I don't get how anyone could stand this.

[Valoe7]

@toddlertoddy7 Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion bro.

[FiatObscuritas]

@toddlertoddy7 Completely Agree. People (I think the youngest ones) like the "easy" way to listen. In another String Quartet II video they compare this with metal... , so , what we can expect?

@FiatObscuritas What's wrong with comparing this to metal? I think the Emerson Quartet did a somewhat better job, but this is still wonderful!

[MERTx123]

This movement always struck me as headbanging music. Driving rhythm, tense harmony, and a delightfully dark energy. Fills me with similar emotive responses that heavy metal often does.
