Oh wow sperg time! Russians know how to fuck shit up. I played orchestral music a lot and in symphonic bands so I am quite familiar. I do miss playing but practicing that much every day is a pain in the asssssss.
Once again the Slavs win on being based.
Dvorák Slavonic dances are fun to play. I used to do the duets with a friend or mine.
I also have a soft spot for Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D major. It was written for his lover (he was gay). So always listen to it like a story of forbidden true love. I've wanted to transpose this music before.
