This is perhaps the cleanest I have ever heard this played. Specific kudos to the cello. Not a note was misplayed. So much heart here. Always love to hear such magnificent music!

[@danielshuck7586]

Yep still the best.

[@adrienneladd8375]

Howl's moving Castle is my favorite Ghilbi film, and this song is a huge reason why

[@HayterwaveMedia]

Love it. Hello from Indonesia 🇮🇩

[@CC-cm3jl]

I got my orchestra to play this song, truly is a dream come true. ❤️

[@abyss6484]

my orchestra is working on this piece (obv a different arrangement for a full ensemble)! It's one of the only things I look forward to practicing lol

[@BayAreaStrings]

@abyss That's so great to hear! You might be playing our arrangement too, the quintet/string orchestra version is based on this quartet arrangement. Keep up the practice! :)

Can there be a violin violin and cello version?

[@BayAreaStrings]

Hi, sheet music for our trio version is available, and it has parts for either 2 violins + cello or violin + viola + cello. Link is above in the video description!

[@yulliana6527]

I have been looking for this sheet music for so long I love how this sounds.

[@christinalinadingdong9566]

we’re playing this and i don’t wanna mess it up for everyone will keep listening to this extensively 👍👍👍

[@zoogieman]

Omg we're going to be playing this as well, but I'm scared we won't give this song the justice it deserves 😥

[@christinalinadingdong9566]

@@zoogieman we did it some justice don’t worry it’s super fun however it goes! good luck :))

[@rebs7867]

This is the exact piece I played at my candlelight concert last week!!

[@alo2762]

Woah, the first version with no piano :0

[@ninajastrzebski1082]

This literally brought tears to my eyes, thank you for this. The crisp, full sound of the strings and the bellow of the cello awakened something in me

[@松橋明英-w4s]

The ego of a human being with power causes a war as it is. A world far from the soul that Francesco was aiming for. Even though the little bird flies high in the sky with a few grains of food I have a heavy heart covered with greed. Science is a magic wand that opens up humans Not admitting that he made a mistake in swinging, he is entangled in his own curse. Sprinkle pesticides that kill flowers far away from clean land. I missed the merry-go-round, which gradually increases the number of revolutions, It is rebelled against the history that can no longer be scraped off. That wind stopped carrying particles and water molecules from space. It is burned down by flames without noticing the stupidity of leaving the majority vote to the machine.

[@wolfibird]

I finally found your sheet music! Best 20$ spent haha

[@hanibelles]

your channel deserves a lot of views 😭

[@hazelsnuts]

at 2:09 those three notes the cello played. I replayed that part so many times. 😩👌

@@BayAreaStrings okay i understand

[@MoonlightMaggie]

I love this piece so much!! And the cello sounds so beautiful I just wish it had more of an active part lol

[@BayAreaStrings]

Thanks a bunch! The cello part is actually surprisingly tricky to play in tune and without getting frantic - it jumps all over the place with constant string crossings since it is covering all 3 beats of the waltz oom-pah-pah. In fact while we may seem relaxed in this video, this piece induces a mild panic every time we sightread it for a gig - all the rapid chord and tempo changes keep it interesting!

[@saltykid7493]

Joe hizashi really liked the first violin

I got teary eyed listening to this 🥲 Do you guys put on concerts in the Bay Area? - San Jose native

[@BayAreaStrings]

Thanks! We play as Bay Area Strings at private events (more info on our website!) but of course are all active performers in various groups in the bay area, and also love to play chamber music concerts in homes as Bay Area Strings and through Groupmuse.

[@joonpak]

@@BayAreaStrings ok well are you iTunes by chance? This arrangement in particular! Or do you have Instagram or something

[@BayAreaStrings]

@@joonpak sorry I missed your message! We do have an instagram account @bayarea_strings, though our recordings are just these informal KZbin videos.

Love it. 🥰

Thank you for this sheet music I will be playing this for a quartet at school in the spring
