This isn't too fast! It's perfect! If you were to buy a Percy Grainger record and listen to this, this is exactly how it is played. When you're used to hearing it like this, any slower is like a funeral march! these guys are great! and they look so young!
@monicapyle We played it for my orchestra concert, and actually, I posted that comment when we just started the piece. Looking back we got to about that speed in this video but pulled it back a bit to sound bouncy Irish-folk tune fast, not rushed and tense and unmusical fast. I know he wanted it fast but this just seems to take all the power out of the song.
That was really good! I loved it. Im in 8th grade at my middle school, and play the violin in orchestra. We are currently attempting to learn this song. So far its been going okay, though I cant seem to get some parts right. Excellent performance, though the audience seemed a little out of it, or maybe it was just small?
u guys played beautiful im in middle school and wer playing this song the exact same way its very difficult i will be playing violin 2 and i find it very difficult but its a very pretty song i loved the way u guys played but we will try to song as u colledge kids! :P lol well Beautiful playin the audiencec was horrible they needed to clap alot louder what was this a competition or aconcert? Damn! lol well keep playing u sound Beautiful!
@knine116 nahhh this is great! any faster would be a bit extreme.. and they do finish the song a good 40 seconds before the video cuts off. Great playing guys!

Intonation.....play as an ensemble not as four soloists; all four players have different articulation styles.

Actually, I thought it was too fast. It didn't sound musical, but tense and rushed.

This is the normal tempo on any Percy Grainger record. It's a fast song and is meant to sound intense.

@lolmonkey98 if you are talking about the intro, that is a viola. but yes the violins (the two on the left) are also quite epic

This is amazing! There's nowhere to hide when it's only a string quartet and you're playing at this tempo! Good job, boys.
