@nickmaestro Don't you just love it when they do that? and also at 7:50, with the octaves. Soo beautiful.

One of my all time favorite pieces. I love playing it. It's insanely satisfying and very difficult to play to boot. Most of the time you can barely believe it's really just the four of you producing such complex and gorgeous music.

@nickmaestro Shostakovich does that a lot too. And he, like Grieg and Holst, is very awesome. I see a pattern :D

The good kind of guilty. Like when great composers steal from themselves, and do it exceedingly well. Not saying I'm a great composer or anything, although I'd like to be someday, I did the same technique in the first and last movements of my string quintet.
Look at Gustav Holst. The last movement "Dargason" in St. Paul Suite for string orchestra is exactly the same as the last movement of his Suite No. 2 in F for Military Band.

@nickmaestro Why would you be guilty?
8:46, Grieg brings back material from movement one. I love when composers to that. I'm guilty of it too.
