Another speed playback...

[classicvinylbiz]

@mitreaflorin Yes, but doesn't "Allegro assai" mean "quite fast" ("much fast")? Thank you for writing, david

Why is this in C# Minor?

[classicvinylbiz]

@donatistringquartet Sounds like C minor to me, but I do not have perfect pitch.

[dbpsoccer121]

@classicvinylbiz It is C#... really weird. Maybe the transfer from vinyl to digital?

@PlatypusofCalifornia Hi, thanks for writing, I appreciate greatly comments like yours! best, david (from my new channel)

The emotional suddenness one can only find in schubert is present here, it comes as if from nowhere. Thank you for your upload as you inspired me and a string quartet to play this piece ourselves

If someone thinks about pressing the dislike button, don't even get there. This is too beautiful. <3

@donatistringquartet Probably the vinyl recordings quality. Old sound usually does that.
