We played this in orchestra and I couldn't play it without moving. The cello part is too strong and intimate. You legit feel it in your heart when you play.

Our orchestra club played this piece when I was in 8th grade, and we loved it so much. Only song of the year we didn't mess up during the concert. As a cellist, speaking for our school's section, this was our cello section's favorite piece.

this song reminds me of like something in the background of a batman movie... but like also it's very intense and tragic... it's so weird how this piece speaks to me. My teacher gave this to me to sight read and to be honest i've been listening to this non-stop.
