Shostakovich's 8th Quartet

I think this quartet is the musical composition I'm going to use for my video. I found this interesting article on the history of the quartet that claims "its genius is that it transcends individual pain to address all human despair. This is the reason for its success. The torment that it voices is the tragic, human agony of all those who have experienced grievous loss whether it be due to fascism, war, or personal bereavement. Shostakovich's Eighth String Quartet resonates with this bitter universal experience"
