@hitmenrev --these are selections from "the art of fugue", bach's last set of compositions. It was published in "open score", but people argue that it is a keyboard piece. Even so, it has been played in many arrangements (and it works).

[hitmenrev]

does anyone know what piece is being played?

[clovismcpony]

Excellent. Can't wait to see the whole thing.

They could have choose a better performance than this one from the emerson quartet

[ComeLeVent]

Yes, of course his music is fractal. It's imitative counterpoint, repeating patterns, inverted, agumented or diminished, characeristic rhythms.

It's good he noticed it.

[kammermusiken]

Is it Shostakovitch ? OMG this to me sounds totally out of place. I got used to almost no vibrato and they play it like Hungarian Dances. There are in fact many young quartets meanwhile who proof to have more taste than this.

Harlan!! Video is great man, you killed it. hope all is well my friend. Timmy

[diastrachan]

Loved it! can't wait for the whole documentary.

Yishu, That is his Zygmuntowicz, but not the one that was written about in the book. This is Gene's second Zygmuntowicz, and it should look like a Strad because it is a copy of a 1732 Strad.
