« 2PM’s Debut Mini-album: Hottest Time of the Day
Korean B-Boy super crew The Gamblerz in DC on March 6 & 7 - and a chance to win tickets! »

Title: Winter
Artist/Composer: BanYa
Album: Interlock
Blurbs: I’ve mentioned my sudden renewed love for Pump It Up!, the Korean DDR game. Well, this song was one of the songs used for the game. Arranged by Banya, the musical group who created a lot of songs for the game, they took Antonio Vivaldi’s “Le Quattro Stagioni - L’Inverno, 1st Movement (Allegro non Molto) and 2nd Movement (Largo)” aka “The Four Seasons - Winter” and combined the two songs to create one prestissimoso (very, very fast) tempo that makes even me go whoah. Listening to this makes my head spin, but I love it! It’s ironic, though, since I usually do not care for remixes.

Coincidentally enough, these two are my favourite Vivaldi pieces; actually, they are some of my favourites from the Baroque period. That’s probably a big factor in making me like this song despite it being a remix!

Mp3 player is suppose to be here. Try upgrading to the latest version of flash if you do not see it.



Because I love these two pieces so much, I’ve included a bonus: here are two other covers of both songs. The first one is done by a group called Dark Moor, and it’s the electric guitar version of the first movement. Playing the solo on the violin is one thing. Playing it on an electric guitar is simply mind-boggling. I wish I could see the finger movement for the solo!

This is the second movement, and it’s done by Yo-Yo Ma and this Baroque Orchestra. Even though the solo is meant for a violin, I have no complaint against Mr. Ma performing it on his lovely sounding cello. :)

nice selections!


Ooooh.  I saw the sheet music for the violin principale.  Looked extremely difficult but challenging. :D

Have fun with your DDR!


I recognized the Winter season part b.c I played it on the violin b4 :D
I can’t imagine doing this on DDR, that would be so fast. You’ve inspired me to take out my DDR and PS2 again :D

Playing Punp It Up apparently.

Actually, I never ran into this song while playing Pump.  It is there, but not on the machines I ran upon.  And I find these songs due to my love for classical pieces, hahaha.


You like a lot of classical music. ^^ I do too!


Remixes are usually the best imo.


The middle one should be the easiest.


lol Such a korean game. I played it once, it’s so damn hard. The middle button always gets me for some reason.
