Epic Sax Guy is amazing, he just pours electricity in your veins. Chaconne is an old music of the highest quality but hard to grasp for untrained ear. A decade ago I listened and re-listened to it for dozens of times until I "got it". Why did composer Johannes Brahms say: > The Chaconne is one of the most wonderful, incomprehensible pieces of music. On a single staff, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and the most powerful feelings. If I were to imagine how I might have made, conceived the piece, I know for certain that the overwhelming excitement and awe would have driven me mad. That's some challenge right there. "Getting" this piece is worth the effort. But I don't blame people passing by just ignoring it if they heard 10 seconds in passing. 13 years ago the Joshua Bell experiment was repeated in Romania by a local virtuoso using a Strad as well. He got more attention than Joshua. Funny thing, they interviewed people and one said - "I didn't recognise him but I knew something shady was going on". People knew great violin even if they couldn't explain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLCTvA4kq5s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLCTvA4kq5s Another funny story, I once saw the same violinist (Alexandru Tomescu) in concert and my f&$^ng phone rang at the last seconds. And I had it closed, but it was a helpful phone and woke up. Then had the guts to go for an autograph after the concert. I really wish silent mode means silent like a brick mode, not just filtering some noises.
