I read a post that can be summed up with “why are all musicians against trumpism and for da multi-culti?” And the reason is that when trumpists try to create music, we end up with four separate NPC songs, one of which has lyrics so dreadful I sometimes think they’re satirical, two of which consists of a vocoded “orange man bad” and other sloganeering or memes backed by unmelodic fart sounds, and one I’m pretty sure was a Chris RayGun-style 80s soft rock song but can’t be fucked to look up. And most religious conservatives, no matter which religion, aren't into music period. But I digress; musical retrospectives are for July.
Outside the Strand Theatre, it was merely freezing. In most of the building, it was chilly. In the bathroom, it was as hot as Dis.
We got a concert of concertos. And since they did four in two hours (including a couple of impromptu performances of 4’33” and the Iranian national anthem because someone broke her violin string), clearly baroque concertos are shorter than classical and romantic concertos.
The concerto for four violins is used for the Isaac Newton’s College wonder in Civ 2. Most of the time, each violinist plays a solo, but sometimes they combine. Bach transposed this for harpsichords.
Bach wrote only three violin concertos.
It's really hard to look dignified while playing a sopranino recorder, no matter how well-dressed you are.
Note: the Garkleinflötlein/Sopranissimo is even smaller, if you can believe it.
The 4th Brandenburg Concerto is for two alto recorders and a violin. Aldo stood mostly still and occasionally took a breath, while Priscilla wavered like a strand of kelp.
burning question: Oh, Shehekazeramesh, will you ever learn?
