The Jenny nettles theme is used in Cornelis dopper’s second symphony (2nd movement). I love it there, but hearing it like this is wonderful. Sound so fun, would love to learn to play violin like this, completely differently than anything I’m used to

Thanks so much! We hadn't known about the Dopper symphony, that's good to know about!

@@TimandJeremy Dopper unfortunately has been nearly forgotten, but I’m personally a big fan of him. But I saw in the comments of his second symphony someone asking why the symphony was titled “Scottish”, and someone mentioned how Jenny Nettles was used in it. So, from there, I discovered this, and I am certainly not complaining
