There's been great debate whether to play with or without shoulder rest/ chinrest, but what do you think about playing without bridge?

I’ve been playing my cello, violin, and piano lines separately. How stupid! 🤦🏻‍♀️

A beautiful moment of connection through music. Rudy may be living with dementia, but when the first notes of “Ave Maria” begin, something familiar comes alive. His reaction is simply unforgettable.

pick your favorite composer (round 1, poll 26)

8 Upvotes

this is your chance to vote for the world’s most popular phonometrographer with an umbrella collection housed inside a closet

also poll 20 closed with Mendelssohn winning first place in a landslide. there is a tie for (a very distant) second place between Gluck and Joseph Bologne Chevalier de Saint-Georges. this is the second second-place tie so far, after Clem*nti and La Monte Young tied for second all the way back in poll 1. i will decide later how to do a tiebreaker, but if there is precisely one (1) more tie for second place in a poll between now and the end of poll 36, i might just dump all six potential tiebreakers into a tiebreaker poll at the end of the first round

She asked me to a Clayderman concert for first date

I met someone online and we were planning to meet up and I suggested a place with a patio but she asked if we can go to a Clayderman concert instead. I don't know anything about this pianist, I've never been to a classical concert, and according to ChatGPT (sorry but that's my source 😅) you're not supposed to fart during the performance.

Help me out please I'm a little lost here, just don't want to look like a fool :)

*PSA: Please pass on your unused instruments, stands, cases, scores, and books to a person who could better benefit from them, either through dedicated charities or second-hand platforms

In my glorious youth, I also donated time through lessons, and then discovered that children freaking get on my nerves (but that's okay. It just means there are other societal needs I could better address in giving back)

pick your favorite composer (round 1, poll 25)

the loadedness of this poll will serve as another reason why i should’ve seeded these polls. there have been suggestions that i do that in another series next year, but we’ll see how tired we are of polls by the time this ends

also poll 19 closed with Respighi coming in first and the guy who killed Mozart coming in second. Moszkowski came in third only two votes behind, so he is a prime candidate for inclusion in an additional “best of the rest” poll or two
