how could anyone not love classical music. it moves you, inspires, motivates, and so much more. i could listen to this one song for days. but then i would have no time to learn it myself.
The comments seem a bit confused. For one thing, this is Fritz Kreisler's arrangement of the Dvorak dance. Oistrakh's interpretation is absolutely wonderful. Compare it to the likewise excellent Vengerov version, and you will notice how Oistrakh brings out the second voice so much better.
People have to keep in mind that this is an old video. The changing of pitch in these kind of media was commonplace, mainly because of age. One can hear it in old cassette tapes.
@MTheoryGuy i very much agree on your last statement. Dvorak and Brahms wrote so many pieces of music that it is indeed difficult to remember or hear all of them.
@MTheoryGuy another thing to know is that the tenth Slavonic dance does not like the 2nd. I was looking to see where your confusion came from. Some people made the mistake of putting other slavonic dances instead of the tenth. they also misunderstand that n.2 op.46 is a totally different piece. sorry to everyone whose comments were bumped off by mine. i took the time to read all of them.it makes me so happy that so many people still love and cherish classical music
@Violinmatt2 Thank you, I understand now. Whenever I anything titled including the word "dance" my brain fires off into a confusing maelstrom of Dvorak and Brahms, thus leading me to make many such errors. It is hard to keep up with the productivity of two such geniuses.
@MTheoryGuy to the gentleman who queried if this was the 10th slavonic dance, i tell him nay. good guess but the 10th slavonic dance is full orchestra.
