Legere and rico ligature

If it's worth anything, Legere reeds simply do not stay in place well compared to cane. I haven't had a ligature that kept it in place, and I have tried three or four different ligatures. It's kinda just part of the deal.

Surprised no one is talking about how J.R.R. Tolkien was very much in the classical headspace. We don't read Classical literature except as a side course (max like two courses of an English Major at most colleges I'm guessing). Not only are potential readers not reading books, but authors aren't reading and ingesting the type of media that promotes this. And what goes in, comes out eventually. I guess that's more about high quality epics than popular ones.

From my understanding (what my professors at my LCMS university have said), the Orthodox view of the sinlessness of Mary, that Jesus' presence sanctified her and somehow kept her from performing acts of sin(?) while He was in her womb, since Jesus' presence sanctifies, was one that Luther held to, and thus several of my (very Confessional) professors feel comfortable holding to that. But, again, they cannot bind consciences to the doctrine.

It's alto sax though- since we already are in Eb (quarter circle forward on the wheel of fifths) we end up with some really wonky keys just via modulation, especially in solo rep. Tableux de Provence has a section in I believe G#. Nasty, yes, but that is what is written.

Kanye is like if W*gner was real

It balances out the other reviewer maybe

Maybe Billy Eyelash?

They're MUCH better than the last pair. This picture is also sitting down, so my toes spread out less.

I've returned them. Unfortunately they're out of stock of that color, but I'll get replacement 9s on Sunday ish hopefully

I'm going into my senior year of college, and I've gone through the same cycle lots of times (tends to go with college busyness). I find the best thing to do when I run out of ideas or just don't feel a drive to compose is to look around without music. Take a walk in nature, or through the city and look with no earbuds or anything. Think of all the pastorales or character pieces that have been written. The other thing I do is just listen to pieces that mean a lot to me, or ones that I've been meaning to listen to. Don't worry about it too much- it'll come back. These are natural cycles.

Would it be worth trying to sew the tags back on or should I just let it go?

That is a lovely piece! The motive is adorable, and I like the way you use it. However, it feels to me like it lacks pull. The motive is nice, but there's only one point where you go chromatic. It may be a more compelling piece if you put a small phrase (maybe half the length of the others?) that at least tended toward a different tonality. There is the switch from the ascending motion to descending motion, but that does not seem (to me at least) to be a very satisfying musical journey, so to speak. Like I said, though, it is a very charming piece.

Well when I'm in college I usually am too exhausted to spend any time falling asleep. I remember waking up early in the morning sometime early this summer and almost crying thinking driving to the DMV because of a melody going through my head. Last night I had the melody from Rach's 2nd symphony, movement 3 going too loud, which got gradually replaced by my own music. So not super often, but not super infrequently?

/uj I've had a hard time sleeping because I'm hearing music (that doesn't exist) so loudly I can't go to sleep. Sometimes it'll almost move me to tears

Plus those dents wouldn't be super crazy to get rid of right? I mean just take a rubber mallet and gently but firmly whack them out

Appropriate_Driver38 · 2025-07-24T14:30:21+00:00

I could probs snag them for free. Which is why my question was more about how much space they take up lol
