Impressionism in Music: Maurice Ravel

As I have already said, I don't know a lot about music, but I have always found violins, violas and cellos as the perfect combination for music. Ravel's 'String Quartet, 2nd movement' seems to me to have a perfect balance between calm and soft music and some crazy sequence of notes (somehow like Debussy's 'Prelude à l'après-midi d'un faune'); it is a really enjoyable piece of music. I think Ravel was a great composer and I am amazed that his few works are still played nowadays. 
String instruments are my favourite. A violin or a cello can make me happy forever; so, I'm going to share a couple of videos of 2CELLOS making a cover of 'Smooth Criminal' and 'Viva la Vida'
