      Oh WOW!
      That’s…something else entirely.
      So violent! Yet also subtle and quiet.
      Yields immediate visceral reactions.
      The entire instrument is so thoroughly explored.
      How does one remember such a piece?
      Or keep the original bow and strings to the end?
      Striking. Marvelous. Beautiful. I’m all for it.

      An amendment of something conjured by it:

      It’s not safe out here. It’s wonderous; with treasures vibrations to satiate desires both subtle and gross, but it’s not for the timid.
