Me playing String Quartet in C# Minor - Beethoven

From Band of Brothers, Part 9, "Why We Fight." Me playing part No. 6, Adagio quasi un poco andante of Ludwig van Beethoven's String Quartet in C# Minor, Opus 131. Before hearing this, it is important to say that I am a huge fan of war movies, especially the more realistic ones. This is actually a small portion of a very long piece. What makes this part special is that it was featured in the World War II mini-series Band of Brothers, Part 9, "Why We Fight." If you're not sure which episode that one was, it was when a few of the 101st airborne were watching the Germans cleaning up the sad remains of their bombed out homes, while a small group of musicians were playing a durge. They remarked that the Germans cleaned up well, and that "All you need is a little Mozart." Capt. Nixon then corrected them, saying, "That's not Mozart. That's Beethoven." This is the piece the musicians were playing.
