    I have MAD respect for Milena, holy SHIT she nailed the viola part. She was literally FLYING through the part I struggled with the most (4:16), and that's just amazing. I cried. Love you.

    In this quartet Smetana describes the tinnitus brought on by veneral disease something I suffer from though not veneral caused through surgical procedures to clear out infection. However this has left me deaf in the left ear but the inner ear intact can hear though a Baha aid. BTW ma vlast was the first piece of classical music I heard . Keep up the marvellous music,incidentally who engineers the audio recording . As an extra I’m not a musician just a lover of music .
