About "String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 110 : Shostakovich: String Quartet No. 8 in C Minor, Op. 110: II. Allegro molto" by Borodin Quartet

Shostakovich's Allegro molto is a frantic sprint through a haunted corridor, the Borodin Quartet's strings scraping and stabbing. The movement's relentless energy masks a deeper dread, as if the calm of the opening were only a trap.
