Man, when they all start going wild and everyone is jamming those bows real hard...
I think classical music players are metal heads and they don't even know it. Sometimes when I'm at a metal concert I think "is this intense, primal feeling I'm experiencing right now identical to the one people were having in the 1700s sitting in classical music halls?" and it blows my mind.
I imagine their access to high-intensity experiences and sort of cathartic group activities was severely restricted compared to today.
You can hear amplified music whenever you want, cranked as loud as you want. Go to a packed football stadium or rave or drive a fast car.
These dudes were slowly strolling around in powered wigs and apparently everything was sepia colored and silent. Aside from signing up for a naval battle, the most intense experience you could get was going to a concert hall and having a stage full of strings blasted at your face.
I guarantee you those Victorians were moshing. At least in spirit.
