  • @kcaroccio If a singer tries to sing as high as the first violin, they'll shred their vocal chords!

  • replace the strings with guitar and the lead violinist with some vocals, and you got a bad ass metal song in my mind

  • EEEEEK!!!! IT'S NORMAN BATES!!!!

  • @OrangeSodaKing Don't forget Wagner.

  • @kcaroccio Hell yeah. Classical and metal aren't that far removed, especially with pieces like this.

  • @kcaroccio that's where rob halford comes in

  • Yes, this is the "heavy metal" of classical music. Beethoven and Brahms also have some nice moments you could also call "heavy metal" of classical music, haha. :)

  • @kcaroccio no

  • @jedenbeen Steven. Tyler. Just sayin' ;D

    Amazing musique. <3

  • @woshh22 It's five sharps. G# minor

  • @sfeng73 my quartet just played this and each time I would have a bow hair breaking competition with the other violinist

  • just by looking at the amount of bow hair this quartet lost is a testament to their skills
