*The String Quartet in D minor was written in 1824, just after Schubert became aware of his ruined health. It is popularly known as the "Death and the Maiden" Quartet because the second movement is adapted from the piano accompaniment to Schubert's 1817 song (or lied), "Death and the Maiden".

Ariel Dorfman's 1991 play "Death and the Maiden" and its 1994 film adaptation (directed by Roman Polanski) take their names from the quartet.

@maleshk  That sounds very melodramatic. One can only produce a work that has as much causation in it as is possible within themselves, thus; this painting could not so well represent yourself unless the painter had such a remarkably similar life as you do (which i doubt).

Now, to say that you like/love the piece is fine, to say you can emotionally relate to it would also be fine, but to suppose the painter had entered YOUR "soul" to produce this work is nothing short of sheer pretension.

I believe you should not be so harsh with maleshk, I think we all do understand what he meant by his comment, yet werewolfmummy-s refective is fully objective and quite true, and people shouldnt make this liberal nonsense like "everybody feels the way he likes and noone can judge another" out of it.

@DemonX99 thank you :) it's good to know that at least someone understood what i simply wanted to say.

[DemonX99]

@maleshk Don't listen to everyone else, I have no idea why they're taking such measures to bitch at you. It's great that you enjoy the piece, as well as the art.

Magnifica pieza, interesante el simbolismo de la imagen, gracias.

[maleshk]

obviously there are people who don't want us,in this case me ,to simply enjoy it , because he decided that i feel wrong about it , and many other things that just have nothing to do with enjoying or listening to music, that's why it isn't important , and i always enjoy this part over and over again on full screen.

People need to calm down and just enjoy Schubert.

@maleshk I have the right to do this because you're feeling things incorrectly. But i have some psychology under my belt, i know that this incessant youtube bitching is just a manifestation of the fact that you didnt get enough daddy hugs when you were little, didn't get nailed when you grew up, and now, desperate for approval from your peers, you pursue trolls like me. I've gotten into your head obviously, so who wins here? me, i think =)

@thehappiestcamper I like to listen to classical music while eating nachos and guacamole... :D do what ever you want, its just music. no rules, just enjoy

[maleshk]

@TIRK125 your comment is just nonsense , what gives you the right to order other people how the have to feel? let people feel melodramatic if they feel like this,FEEL AS YOU WANT , I NEVER IMPOSE SOMEONE HOW HE HAS TO FEEL!!! The worse is that you relate feelings to a certain age, that's more than absurd i'm 3 times older,whatever there will always be people like you, using youtube for posting about evrything except about the video the comments are ment to be .read first my other comments,
