...A very lovely quartet...Dvorak was visiting the US...and the Torvie went back to his home...and wrote this.
https://youtu.be/DxtAHpYIXdUMy quartet was once coaching HS kids from all over CA...
...they were playing chamber music...and we would each go to a different room...and listen to the kids...and give them advice. At the end of the day, they would each perform a part of what they were studying.
The kids asked us to perform...so that THEY COULD COACH!!! and we setup...and played the above.
ALL of the cello kids were standing behind me, looking over my shoulder...as I played. When we finished the 2nd movement...I heard some sobs...cause of my playing...I had tears in my eyes...too...it is SO YEARNING...and I played it very well...and nodded to the 1st violin...we had done our duet very well...I had buried the warrior with love and dignity.
The mood of the work changes...and I relaxed...and had fun in the last two movements...
...I actually 'danced' in my chair at times...and the kids laughed...
...I hugged them all after I packed up...
