I hear a short snippet of melody from the toccata and fugue in D minor. is it intentional, or is it a popular tune by itself?

[smalin]

@CengalLut Neither. It's part of Bach's musical language. You'll find similar things throughout his thousands of compositions.

Someone's comment about Rachmaninoff down below caused me to wonder: could you do Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C minor?

[smalin]

@ssw166 No, I'm not much of a fan of Rachmaninoff.

If music is a soul this video should be its body.

A masterpiece mastered.

@OurenV2 The problem with Heifetz recordings is getting permission to use them.

[OurenV2]

@smalin this made me giddy. Could you do some Heifetz interpretations? His Chaconne is so beautiful.

[ts404]

Really like how you represented the violin :)

[muesk3]

@smalin That's too bad. :)

[SoundsUzed]

Very nice, sad that you don't like rachmaninoff, i think that his prelude is pretty neat ;)
