This is pure love and beauty in the form of music.

I can see what you mean, the melody sounds quite pentatonic - We listened to this piece in our A Level Music Class and if it was just the violin on its own I would've thought it was an Oriental piece of music

urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, that doesn't make you proud that they voted it thicko, or should I say shouldn't, that beats the idea. Other people from different nations are supposed to vote it to create an aspect of pride, that's like chimps saying were the best animals with communication to compare with others. silly uneseccery chavanism
