That's what letting AI perform music will lead to

I must be (very) vulcan..

By this point, Sarek was less on control 2:59 than the average human ( or Betazoid).

He was weeping because he actually plays violin😂

At least he wasn’t watching a JJ Abrams ‘remake’- or Discovery!

I completely empathize with the Vulcan committee of rushing Sarak out of there It's the cultural equivalent of Joe Biden shitting himself in front of foreign dignitaries

I am the 98th like on this, this needs more exposure for sure this is always my favorite

He wasnt crying at the piece (in my opinion) he was marveling at Data, At how Far Organic Life had come in the time since his birth

Twoset has taught me well

I never fully understand why Sarek cried was it because of Data or just simply the music or something

God, Star Trek used to be so good.

name of song plz

who doesnt?

I noticed that Deanna kept glancing at Sarek, even before he started crying. I think she sensed his emotions from the start.

One thing I never noticed before, the last piece is by Brahms (as others have commented on). In the original series, Spock meets Flint, who also lived as Johannes Brahms on Earth. Spock plays an original unknown piece, that he deduces is a new composition of Brahms due to style and recognizing his handwriting of all things. So Spock seems to be a big fan of Brahms since he is able to recall such obscure details about him. It makes me believe that Sarek might not just have been moved to tears by the beauty of music. He may have also been thinking about/reminded of Spock when he heard this piece from what may have very well been his son’s favorite composer.

"I am Brahms.., Mr. Spock, why don't you play the waltz?" "I'll refrain, as it may bring my father to tears, and that would be unfitting of a Vulcan"

Ken: SURE YOU CAN

For me, the greatest scene in Trek

so touching

Well written and directed scene. The Brahms Sextet is quite an emotional and beautiful piece, much underrated and not that well known.

I was not prepared for this

13 Years. Thanks for adding this video. May you be enshrined forever.

This was my best friend’s favorite scene from Star Trek. Thank you for uploading this. I really miss him. He has been gone since 10/31/2014.

It is a beautiful piece of music, though. Lovely to listen to!

Perrin : "Tataglia would be lovely". Sarek : "Tataglia is a pimp."

As far as I understand, emotions are physically/mentally _harmful_ for Vulcans. With that context, I imagine seeing him cry would be somewhat scary.

Wow, terrible to look at for string players 😂 still legendary episode.

Really not as bad as stock photos, nailed the vibrato

Ironically, it's Data that makes him cry.

Fun fact: Sarek is crying because he was promised a Mozart concert, but the players skipped the introduction of the Mozart quartet and then randomly started playing a Brahms sextet instead of the rest of the Mozart quartet.

If I had to suffer through Brahms I'd be in tears as well.

I am wondering if there is a simplified musical version of Brahms: String Sextet No. 1 in B-flat Major. Op. 18. 2nd movement for guitar performance.

They're two performers short on the sextet, but still a lovely piece of music (I was subscribed to Musical Heritage society at the time and got this piece after seeing this episode - mind you, that was before easy access to specific classical music from things like streaming, itunes and Amazon).

Not even a Vulcan can resist the powers of the great, romantic expressivity of Brahms.

I think the cellist is the only real musician. He can do VIBRATO!

Why is the Capt. in a back row, and some meaningless LT is in the front ?

He's crying because he was promised a Mozart concert and they're playing a piece by Johannes Brahms!

1:53 Sakkath: Oh Crap! 1:56 Troi: Dafuq!?

He’s crying because he can’t figure out how a quartet managed to sound like a sextet and it’s driving him nuts.

Does anyone know if this room or area has a specific name for it?

erroneously called Mozart and short a couple players

Isn't that cpt. Braxton himself?

0:02 Do you all see that female command division officer's uniform. It's a mix between the old one and the new one.

0:02 That guy next to Data looks like he should of been captain and not Picard. I mean seriously he looks older than Patrick Stewart!

OK a Mozart Quartet morphs into a Brahms sextet. Lets not get too picky its possible that the Enterprise computer substitutes for the missing roles.

the music didnt make him cry you idiots, it was the disease I guarantee if you play this song to him when he was younger he would be comfortable and think that the music was satisfactory

So what, Brent Spiner/Data can't play a violin how many of you can't play one either

por data toco el violin

el tobi

This is just sACRILEGous. Data's bow strokes were so wrong, the bow was so tight, his fingering was so wrong. Thought Data could store 800 quadrillion bits of memory as stated in measure of a man. If he could do that why was he playing so wrongly? This is not only SACRILEGOUS but also violates canon. Also that's Brahms not Mozart. Other than that the episode is good.
