Cello players: someone knows our pain.

(I'm not normally a fan of stand-up comedians, but this was delightful. However, what is far worse is the Palladio, better known as the "De Beers Diamonds commercial song," which is longer and has the most incredibly repetitive cello part ever...)

It's a canon if you just look at the violin parts ;-) Doesn't help with the cello/bass though....

It really is a shame it gets overused. For a while I would wince whenever hearing Eine Kleine Nachtmusik because it was used everywhere as the canonical (no pun intended) "classical piece". But I think that's died down a bit.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the song. Just that he has a point about cello parts. :)

Nope, I can't dispute that, the cello often gets the shaft :)
