@diedoppelganger

Nope. We're not those musicians. :D Though I know the 1st violinist from that video. That other video is from New England Conservatory.

[VeggiePirateLorryn]

the first violinist's use of her bow is amazing

and when the violists goes into the cut time part, it's powerful and rich

the entire quartet is so talented

kudos :]

[bigb47]

to elaborate on the reason for the lack of lighting: its about stalin's treacherous fascist regime and the regime's terrorized and murdered victims

I love the way the DSCH motif goes into the new section at around 6:20-ish

[bananaphone951]

such a great piece of music, too bad Shostakovich was such a fail after he composed this piece (he was gonna kill himself, but his friend took the poison away before he could)

[Ohglaba]

this is so awesome it blew my head right off.

*searches under table blindly*

Found it

[Amarynthine]

@dragonscarz13 That doesn't mean I don't like the second movement as well. :P

[dragonscarz13]

@Nutterbutterz95 Yes.

3 People Are Death

[VeggiePirateLorryn]

there is one viola and two violins. At least that was the way I received the arrangement :)

[Nutterbutterz95]

I like the 3rd movement more than I like the 2nd movement. Is that weird?
