Shostakovich: Five Pieces for Two Violins - Dana Johnson, Giancarlo Latta 

I just passed my 82nd birthday (2021) by learning the fun polka of the Five Pieces. No where as precise and clear quality as these two fine young musicians but I'm happy and my brain synapsis are sure getting exercise.

Relationship goals ✨

Always thought Shostakovich was a modern dissonance composer. How wrong I was as I am discovering his romantic side. What a musical genius.

Bravo! I am 76 y.o. and studying these pieces with two teenagers at music conservatory under direction of one teacher. I hope we will reach this level in June

We will perform that little diamant from Shostakovich on this Friday on a music shool event! Oh how great as the youngs can draw a complete athmosphere. Two thumbs up! Greetings from Hungary.

I discovered this piece a year ago upon seeing this video. My musical partner and I (she's the CM of one of our orchestras in Wash. DC, I'm the Asst. CM and we now have a string quartet as well) have since played it several times at events with a pianist from my church. Thanks guys!

lovely eye contacts.

Fantastic performance! Bravissimi! Love from USA - although native from Makedonija ) :)

How do we listen to music? When you hear a piece for the very first time, then it is fresh, it is new. But when you listen to it for the second time, it is not new anymore. Then you know what note is going to come, and therefore listen from the past, wich is the known. And then one starts to listen one note ahead, wich becomes old, not new and fresh. And in that kind of listening there is a certain pleasure. So is it possible not to listen from thought, wich is memory and experience, because thought always compares what it thinks is better, the highest. It is always judging and therefore never actually listens to what is being played.

you play very emotional, congrats from Turkey

how nice!

Admirable.

Who are these people? This performance is just amazing.

I think they were in perfect synch. Listen! Feel how they sense each other.

Very good! :-)

this was a good performance, but the problem was you two werent communicating. the guy was looking at her and she was to focused to then face than playing together as one.
