Today my Counterpoint 2 teacher played us Bach’s “Brandenburg Concerto No. 5 in D major.” At the end of the first movement there’s this harpsichord solo that sounds amazingly like Van Halen’s “Eruption.” I always knew a lot of shred metal was based off of classical pieces but this was more like a bad copy. It kind of broke my heart. Check it
