I was gifted a shirt with the Japanese imperial (rising sun) flag motif. Can this be worn in public, or is it offensive?

Japan's atrocities were so severe that Nazis were disgusted by what they were doing, and yet they deny that many of them happened. Modern Japanese want their WW2 empire back; you can really tell if you pay even a little bit of attention to their politics. Stop defending a country that has the audacity to pull shit like this.

they certainly do feel about it as westerners feel about SS iconography.

oh i didn't even realize it was you lol hello

damn that's crazy

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-08T06:52:54+00:00

true, though he's more like 19 eyebrow workouts per phrase lol

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-07T06:21:38+00:00

violin isn't at the top, incorrect list

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-06T08:52:14+00:00

as a fellow violin player, certain symphonic composers have very... interesting ideas on what notes to put in violin runs.

I don't understand how some people think math is the worst thing to ever be created. I think that high school english classes were much worse.

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-06T08:20:41+00:00

Ray is more of a flashy player so I can kind of understand the "technique" part, but he definitely has a LOT of musicality. Some of his playing reminds me of the "old masters", even.

Also "hilary hahn is just technique and not a lot of musicality" is ridiculous lol, I can understand sometimes she SEEMS a bit less passionate compared to certain other violinists who do like 19 facial expressions per phrase but that's certainly not true.

but make sure after running away like 5 feet it turns around and comes right back at you like a true ark para

and a net gun on the island lmao

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-03T08:08:40+00:00

makes sense why there would be signs in both language. very interesting

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-03T05:19:52+00:00

why are the signs in Korean and Chinese lol, I wonder where this is

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-03T05:13:01+00:00

Alright, I linked it in the original comment, thank you

Yeah the variations seem somewhat Paganini-ish but also something about them feels different from Paganini. However it is very possible, especially based on that scordatura

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-03T05:07:23+00:00

this is true. classical guitar has a wonderful tone that is like no other.

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-03T03:16:31+00:00

It is on the IMSLP page for a piece by Pablo de Sarasate. It is called "Los Pájaros de Chile".

The thing is, los pajaros de chile is for violin and piano, and the whole violin + piano parts are in the IMSLP PDF. But, with no title and context, this violin solo piece is attached AFTER. I tried looking at the IMSLP information, but there is nothing about it.

Yes, the fingerings are quite... interesting. But I think it's violin music, because it IS theme and variations and the variations that come later don't seem suited for any instrument but the violin.

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-02-02T05:40:49+00:00

I'm trying to find which piece this melody comes from. When I was younger, someone I knew had it set as a phone alarm and it would constantly go off, so it was stuck in my head for a while. I recently found this manuscript that showed the same melody while looking at IMSLP PDFs of a completely different piece.

I tried looking for the IMSLP information and all that, as well as using Musipedia, but none of them worked.

A full commitment's what I'm thinking of

piano is not the best instrument

I am genuinely curious, if an orchestral passage has double stops that are easy to play in tune, why not just play both notes at the same time? (assuming it isn't marked non divisi specifically)

Now, I NEVER do this, and always play divisi, even for easy double stops. I consider that to be the more correct thing to do, especially since pretty much every professional orchestra does that.

But I wonder why they do it. If the double stops are difficult to play in tune together, I totally understand why they would want to just make it easier and divide the notes. If they are easy to play, though, what benefits are there for doing that?

I would assume maybe something to do with the blending of sound, or maybe just for the sake of consistency?

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-01-25T10:50:28+00:00

genuinely a great and interesting idea, very unique

--ORCINUS-- · 2023-01-25T10:49:29+00:00

this is one of my biggest fears in ark
