I found this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAGgajifzUo - of a Haydn quartet.
I wish on the one hand that I could play any string instrument like that, but on the other hand I'd rather play or listen to something like this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCzli6PVbDg (Wish! I can't do anything with any string instrument!)
I think it's all too easy to forget how hard it is to play most instruments, and the stages that are required to get to the level of performance of some of the top class artists.
Students and amateurs need a lot encouragement - and it's not my intention to be unkind to those in the workshop. They should be very much applauded for having taken part.
