 Dear Cherub:
 Thanks for the link. I'm always interested in ideas like this.
 By the way, it makes me think: why so many people will judge this work as crap, and continue to praise a chaconne as a masterpiece, for instance?
 Notice that I don't want to reverse, and say that Bach's famous example is crap, but one must remember that the origins of much of our art music are as popular as our contemporary hip-hop.
 Best wishes!

[Derek]

bach rules.

Pretty cool...thanks for sharing.
As a composer I really appreciate the crossover in the musical genres.  I don't think its crap at all.  You can tell they obviously put alot of thought in to it and they "feel" the music.  It's not art for arts sake or blatantly for some sort of shock factor, (like 4'33'' of silence or something)

haha, you sure they felt it? some of those string players looked pretty damn bored to me. I bet they'd rather be playing beethoven. Then again, they're probably sick of playing beethoven six trillion times every year at concerts...might be a relief for them I don't know, haha

 Dear Derek:
 Maybe it's not a global rule, but in my experience string players always look this way, whatever is played.
 Oh...there is an exception: when a world famous and great violinist is the soloist. Then they look like a mixture of envy, despair and - of course - boring...
 Best!
