This piece from 1853 bares remarkable similarities to the scherzo from Brahms' horn trio from much latter in 1879

@HamsterCreature 150,000 Jews fought in the Nazi army during WWII. What you say is untrue.

I swear he left out a page of the piece. Either that or I got behind in my following.

Even Hitler had banned jewish master musicians in his private record collection because he couldn't deny it was good.

@NorwegianViolinist true about what you said how people seem to play the same way nowadays...I saw a live performance and a recorded performance and they both sounded very similar

I played this piece when I was a youngster and even recorded it professionally for radio but I didn't find it easy. In Mr Heifetz' usual style of making things look easy, I note his God-given magnificent technical & musical power shining through in this videoclip.

just seems too fast to me
Yes for some people the way violonists play is never okay. They either have to many facial expressions (Kremer) or they are 'cold' because they don't seem to have any facial expressions (Heifetz).
Please listen to their playing instead of commenting about the way they look! Their playing makes them musicians, not their behaviour.

I love the fact that the great, legendary violinists at that time had their own "touch" to every piece. Today almost every violinist play in the same way. The same tempo, the same boring fingerings (no slides...) It's a result of massive "fabric-production". A standardisation. So i love when you are discussing between eachother :D If some "normal" modern violinist would play at this tempo it would sound awful. But here you guys say "Too fast, this is not Brahms!! But I still love it......" ;D
