      Ti's was a change from a minor chord with dissonance to a perfect major chord. The brain does not like minor chords or dissonance in general. It is the feeling of that tension to a whole beautiful resolve that captivated the audience.

And there might be one or two other quartets but they may not even be involved in the BHS (such as Sonny vande putte) and so on but he is a one man quartet.
