    Putting aside the amount of energy in the first violin, can we all take a moment to appreciate the cellist's look? Left to right, we have the outfits of: drama student, prom dress, the guy who takes dress rehearsal more seriously than the rest of the orchestra, and then the 20th century cello sage

      Shostakovich was pretty fond of these manic tempo (quasi) perpetuum mobiles, where many composers would do the more practical option of a shorter base value and a slower tempo. My guess is that he knew that musicians subconsciously play longer values 'harder' even when the tempo and dynamic markings are otherwise mutandis mutatis. You can find another (less extreme) example in the 3rd movement of the 8th Symphony.

    • @felixthomson3665
      @felixthomson3665 Год назад +57

      I wonder if because shostakovich wrote his scores by hand it was easier to write everything as crotchets (quarter notes) that quavers (8th notes) or otherwise. Just a theory. I believe he wrote this piece in a very short space of time, like under a week, so perhaps that had something to do with it.

    WOW! I'm definitely going to look into Shostakovich's 8th quartet! Some days, I just feel like that music sounds! 😁
