Actually, I do the same thing as a violinist because I am so concentrated on the emotion that I put into the music that I lose control of my facial muscles. The same thing happened when I was 3 and concentrating so hard on getting the notes right that I'd drool.

They used to tell me that I made horrible slurping sounds while playing particularly hard pieces on the piano.
Either I've stopped doing it or they've stopped telling me, I'm not sure which.

I definitely eff it. 
A very good idea indeed, especially as you can tell me what's good and what isn't, and why.
For instance--that clip. The violinist grimaces and twitches all the way through it (in giant close-up). Why? Was he hitting bad notes?
Come on, shouldn't you be more reverent towards the great Leonid Kogan? I admit he does not have the handsomest face...
I think it's very much a matter of concentration--since visual image is optional, close your eyes and listent to the music.
Since no one has posted anything, I'll go ahead and post clips of Gluck's Dance of the Blessed Spirits from Orfeo.
For a piano rendition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW1FlZpELE0
The violin version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4pxbrcAIZg
Ballet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vevTcp1nFus
Need I say more?
EDIT: it's a pity that they all lack the preceding minuet from the original score. I think the flute-and-orchestra version is statelier and more serene, whereas the violin transcription tends to romanticize the dance as something more lyrical and even elegiac.

Odd...I very, very much prefer the violin version. Is it the accompanying movie images? Don't know.

We DO NOT associate Christmas wih death. We would have, had we associated christmas with christ. To us christmas is the eat-a-lot holiday we have kept from the time of the viking.

I much prefer the ballet version. While it's fun to hear solo instruments handle the voicings and challenges, there's a certain beauty to the orchestration.

When someone 'orchestrates' music...what does he (or she) do? Do they have to be able to write all the musical parts for each instrument?

Orchestration is just that, but can also take the form of someone embellishing or separating the parts of a song so it is acceptable for more than one instrument.
