Bartok Assistance Needed

[impulsereader.livejournal.com]

I am writing a fic in which I have Sherlock taking part in the performance of the Bartok quartets over a series of evenings. I am doing my homework with listening guides - Carnegie Hall etc. - but am curious if there are any musicians reading this who would be willing to help me brainstorm as I am trying to translate this powerful music to the written word.

My goals include showing Sherlock as a skilled musician, and as I am not one myself I feel the need to seek a musical beta.

Remind you of anyone?

[fic] The Just Happening of Sherlock Holmes (1/?)

Author: calamitybreak
Fandom/Pairing: Sherlock | Sherlock/John
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~3300
Warnings: None.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Summary: It started with the hijacking of a bus. No, not a hijacking - a "temporary acquisition of the nearest available transportation," as called by Sherlock Holmes. Which just happened to be a bus. A bus that one Dr. John Watson just happened to be riding. And now, that one Dr. John Watson just happens to get continually caught up in Sherlock's plots; half of them preventing crime, and the other half… well, not so much.

Rating: PG.
Warnings: None.
Spoilers: All episodes.

Music: The Ark – It takes fool to remain sane

Notes: The Ark’s music has, for some reason, always been very closely linked with Sherlock in my head. Therefore, when I learned how to make videos it came naturally to make this one.
