@91bobtest , this video was uploaded almost 5 years ago. They were in middle school/junior high at the time. Currently, 3 are in conservatory and one is in art school.
@91bobtest They look high school or college age. There are videos on youtube of 3 year olds playing Paganini Caprice 24, that doesn't mean all 3 year olds should be able to play that.
@fruitikay and how old are they, may i ask? i know a 15 year old who can play the entire thing from memory on the violin. in fact he recorded himself playing all the parts-he plays all string instruments
@91bobtest Well, jeez. This arrangement is for more younger players, obviously. Give them a break. One day, they will be able to play the original, but considering they are younger players, they did fairly well compared to others I have listened to who are their age.
@91bobtest Temp sounds fine to me. As far as "baroque style" um... this isn't baroque style. They didn't have string quartets back then. It's called an arrangement. They're trying to do something different. I thought they did just fine.
Very nice! Bach would himself write for strings quartet if he listened to this! Good intonation and the arrangement is fine. The tempo is very in the baroque style and not in the modern time "running for life tempos" we often have to listen. Congratulations and keep up working in behalf of great music!

@91bobtest I could not agree more -- at least the intonation is good, though!!

This is a terrible arrangement! The cut and the simplification are inexcusable!
