I know ALL of us can agree that this is everyone's favorite piece or was at some point. It's been 7 years and I still love it!

I love how the viola plays the same notes as the violin, but then switches to having the same notes as the cellos/same rhythm. Viola is truly the bridge between violin and cello.
