Sublime

[@justmart4455]

This particular movement is the sole reason why I wanted to learn how to play the cello for the longest time. Now I'm just looking at the ceiling and whatnot

[@JustinGW2003]

Very beautiful, I am so touched.

[@janehurrell2090]

So very beautiful. A journey from desolation through resignation to inner peace. At least that's what it says to me. Beautifully played.

[@justmart4455]

Love the description. I forgot such a journey could be made. I needed to hear that. Thank you.

Hello there, I realized you were liking comments lately. Maybe I'm just overthinking things, but maybe you need to hear a thing or two right now. Regardless, I'd like to thank you very, very much. I'm no musician, and I don't have too discerning of an ear for things, but I'll have you know that this particular video has accompanied me on many days and many nights. Both the ones that are big and small. Whatever that means. The ones where something's happened and the others where I'd just like to listen to something. I'll have you know that I'm eternally grateful for all this. I hope that you really do have a good one with all those good things, have love on your side, and all that. Where this video has given me comfort on those dark nights, those interesting, confusing times, I'd like the same for you whenever and more. Mere heart may not mean much to you as it does to me, but that's okay. Thank you. Thank you. I hope you have a good one.

Hello Frozen Frost! Your comment means so much to me! Thank you so much for sharing about how we made a difference in your life. As a musician, that is the highest praise we can hear.

[@martinsmartini44]

@@JackieTu Back to you, haha. It's a pleasure to me too. Gotta love the art of sharing and spreading

Stunning piece, harrowing but beautiful, the piano reminds me of a lot of Radiohead's piano arrangements, sounds especially like their song pyramid song, genius x

[@animatechap5176]

Yeah the piano is very pyramid songy , I wonder if Thomas yorke is a fan, I know Jonny is

[@KaledTK]

This movement in particular is especially desolate and sad, it is like looking at the ruins of what was once something beautiful, a feeling of despair flooding an emptiness of the soul, for me an eternal, beautiful and calm desolation, a difficult feeling to explain

[@MariaB-hi4gr]

Piano is hauntingly beautiful.

[@jasongomezcomposer]

My favorite movement from this piece

[@thsithks]

Please tell Bingxia to calm down with the vibrato.

[@martinsmartini44]

I always return to this

[@pfeifanddrum4610]

Fantastic work!

[@karelbredenhorst]

Beautiful

[@steft1236]

merci

[@petersputnik5942]

A little bit too fast, I would say, but if played with good intention, it is a piece of music which is so beautiful, you can not really do wrong...

[@Victoria-ld4nn]

:)

[@mewsdo]

Great performance, but the breakneck speed does change the impact of the piece... the piano sound especially becomes agitated...

[@PTCello]

The tempo marking is “impossibly slow”

[@chrispollock5334]

Not so: anything faster than semiquaver =44 ( if this was cardiac, and you are not a professional cyclist- this pace would indeed warrant a pacemaker)- it sounds horribly rushed ,as this extract does.

[@scriabinismydog2439]

No it's "infinitly slow"

[@TheMunis00]

This is a duet, not a quartet, no?

[@cristianoscaglioni1965]

its a movement from a quartet (violin, clarinet, cello and piano).

[@sigitastankeviciute1052]

I think that this is a very modest, catholic, virtuous music. But open performer's shoulders is not modest.

[@animatechap5176]

Hilarious, you've made my day
