Op. 110
Mov. 2
Allegro molto

Performed by: Emerson String Quartet

Note: I highly recommend playing the next movement as soon as this movement finishes playing. This whole quartet is supposed to be played without stopping. (at least that's how I interpret it)

  • If anyone cares: Russian Initials consist of the first letter of the first name and the first "sound" of the last name. For him, it's: D SCH. If those letters are converted to the "musical alphabet" they correspond to D, E(flat), C, B. The notes of the continuously re-occuring theme in this piece and his others. He signs his pieces.

  • I had a friend tell me "I love classical music, it's so relaxing." So I played this for him. ;-)

  • @suidorimo lol. lol. we forget 12 yo are children on the internet

  • @nightscape94 haha i was and as i read this, am! hha

  • @Shostakovichify Which part?

  • @xDSlimz If you have so much emotional understanding then please stop being rude to children.

  • @Shostakovichify You're twelve. Quit playing Shostakovich. Not trying to sound like a dick, but shostakovich is deeper than just being able to play the notes. Its emotional turmoil

  • I fell like going insane and killing someone.

  • @conundrumist I know I saw this in concert today. It was phenomenal the only bad thing was the kids behind me were playing with their programs. And we were at the Ordway so it was really loud and annoying.

  • @Shostakovichify Not that I'm trying to be a show off. All I'm saying is that if you try hard enough you can do it. Wow that sounded sossssooooo cheesy.

  • I can play this song and I'm only 12. Although it took me forever to get fast enough.

  • I find this piece totally relaxing. Thats life! ;)
