Classical Music

[guinness1916]

Does Anyone know any good classical music with fast violins in it

[andy hughes]

I'd go for Vivaldi's 'The Four Seasons' which has the added advantage of being recognisable, even to people who know little about classical music - like me! You could also check out Paganini, a musician blessed with very large hands who exercised his ego by composing violin pieces so fast and complex that only he could play them, a sort of Jimmy Page of the violin!

[incitatus]

How fast? there are some good lively bits in the Eine Kleine NAchtmusik by Mozart, but these are ensemble pieces rather than solos

[equipshadow]

most famous tunes are from Vanessa Mae

[tfga]

The 3rd Movement (Storm) from Summer of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. Also, Winter, and Vivaldi's Concerto for 2 Violins. Bach's Prelude (I forget the details)

Ignore the above! The fastest classical violin piece by a MILE is 'Flight of the Bumble Bee' by Rimsky-Korsakov. Some of Paganninis stuff is much faster than any of the above too.
