  • @livelife409 lmao!!!!!!!!!!!

  • la melancolía me hace su presa, y no se molesta en matarme, me desgarra la piel , con sus propias manos, de mi a de brotar, el calor de mis venas lentamente, gota a gota hasta agonizar

  • @magneticmidget WTF. ? why ?

  • @magneticmidget why would u ever call me a douche? im in love with this piece..you must be a mindless soul. its ok. JUST LISTEN TO THIS and you should have some real feeling brought upon ur meaningless life.

  • THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS CONCERTO. This solo is just amazing...haunting as the word we all use for this piece. ITs indiscriminately affects us all. ITs deep and sensuous and obviously what ever is going on his Rostropovich's mind. HE is SCREAMING AT US. His actual voice.. I can hear him in this part. WOW. Im so blessed to be able to master such a piece. I can barely play it cause it affects me so. WHen i play this my probs in my life go away..and its such a release. THANK YOU.

  • Cadena? Spelling fail, but this concerto is still pure pwnage :D
