This work by Barber is sad & beautiful at the same time. It has a lot of depth to it!! It is somber yet hopeful! Adagio for Strings was played at the funeral of Albert Einstein & Princess Grace of Monaco.

It has a silent depth to it, yet it is beautiful

Years ago, Honolulu Symphony lost the young lady who was first violin to cancer. They performed this piece in memory of her, the first chair empty.
