To good to not share
obviously NOT a lover of modern music!
The "cacophony" in question? Elgars String Quartet in E-minor, Op. 83
Subject: Classical Music Broadcast.com: squeaking violins
I don't mind high-pitched violins now and then, since I
recognize they must be included in a comprehensive selection
of classical music in order for it to be comprehensive.
But today (1 March), you well exceeded my tolerance for
such squeaking and screeching so I went to a different
on-line classical music broadcast.
It's bad enough that violins are that shrill; when that's
compounded by seeing how many 64th notes a violin can be
made to play, the frenetic screeching that results is well
beyond intolerable. Virtuosity to me isn't an athletic
achievement; rapid, machine-gun notes emitted by any
instrument except a banjo is crass and childish, and
such noise pollution from a violin is criminal.
Please remember this when generating a playlist.
