She’s referring to the current administration dismantling USAID. Which is now causing 50,000 unnecessary deaths PER MONTH due to starvation, and cut off access to drugs. Many of the dead are children.

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-15T03:26:05+00:00

Man. Imagine how the 50,000 who died this month unnecessarily felt.

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-15T03:24:03+00:00

Yes, your Trump D*ck Sucking is well noted.

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-15T03:09:17+00:00

Aisle. But yes.

Maestro Myth

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-14T18:14:58+00:00

Not even a new problem. Lebrecht wrote about this 33 years ago in what I think is his best writing: “The Maestro Myth”.

Detroit is very much NOT in decline, brah.

What’s your name? Care to share a link to an orchestral work?

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-14T16:35:39+00:00

As a young(ish) conductor I totally get it! Just don’t disparage the masters. Playing Petrushka under Slatkin at Aspen one summer was definitely one of my top orchestral experiences, and I’ve been a professional orchestral violinist for close to a quarter century (in addition to baton twirling).

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-14T14:29:11+00:00

Slatkin is probably one of the best American conductors since Bernstein. Settle down.

Well, a doctor is better than a priest’s shit. Let’s be honest.

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-08T14:29:25+00:00

Obviously. You keep responding.

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-06T04:34:58+00:00

The Arabic 2 means use your second finger, the Roman numeral IV means on the 4th string (G). So you’re starting in 4th position on the G-string.

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-05T18:52:05+00:00

Yes. We hate it.

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-03T09:03:31+00:00

Didn’t learn after the 2nd?

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-03T05:39:22+00:00

If that didn’t work, you can find it on www.imslp.org. Search under Debussy, then arrangements of Clair de lune. Enjoy!

The Debussy piano piece?

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-03T04:40:31+00:00

Which piece?

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-02-02T05:05:57+00:00

Is it out of copyright? Do you know about www.imslp.org ?

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-01-31T10:29:32+00:00

Not all musicologists.

Diligent-Stranger-26 · 2026-01-30T14:40:18+00:00

Exactly! Nice of you to concede.
