@BostonCelloQuartet
Thank you!

[@jerryfinsternumber9]

I see you guys on my screen way too often now

[@Bartach]

I like the portion taken from Mahler's symphony no. 1, it would be really cool if you transcribed that entire movement for cello quartet.

[@wpgne]

Excellent!

[@BostonCelloQuartet]

It is the Andante con moto from Schubert's 2d Piano Trio in E-Flat Major. We tweaked it a lot in our version, though!

No wonder it sounded familiar...I played the Firebird Suite in orchestra a few years ago

[@BostonCelloQuartet]

At 4:30 is the Dance of King Katschei, from the Firebird Suite by Stravinsky.

[@BostonCelloQuartet]

0:21 is the main theme of the 4th movement of Dvorak's Symphony no 9 (also called the New World Symphony).

[@CelestialFusions]

I like

[@TheAwp45]

What is the name of the song (or however you call it in this beautiful world of music) that starts at 0:21

[@Kub-Kob]

what is the theme at 2:30 from?

[@izsakbessenyei801]

It's the opening bass solo in Mahler's Symphony No. 1 Movement 3 (the "Hunter's Funeral").
The first cellist is holding his bow in the german style bass bow-hold and playing high on the C-string to imitate the sound/look of the bass solo! The pizzicato is meant to be the timpani.
The melody of the theme is Frère Jacques but set in D minor.
Hope this helps you/others, even if it's now 10 years late!

[@somethingborrowed7]

what is the name of the piece at 4:30?
