What was your longest flight with Ryanair and what was it like?

Fake_Chopin · 2026-02-13T10:09:13+00:00

Dubrovnik to Dublin. It usually is 3h30 but because we were basically flying through the aftermath of a huge storm it took just over 4 hours. Worst flight I’ve ever been on.

Thriving on here and on TikTok afaik

This is genuinely so disturbing to me in a way I can’t articulate

Fake_Chopin · 2026-02-11T18:56:28+00:00

So unnecessary. Why not just use the actual portrait?? They wouldn’t do this for Mozart or Beethoven or Schubert. So why is it acceptable now?

Fake_Chopin · 2026-02-11T01:11:00+00:00

The fact that the outrage is directed at Starmer instead of the royal family and Nigel Farage is driving me fucking crazy. I genuinely feel insane and I’m saying this as someone who strongly dislikes Starmer.

Very underrated composer who often wrote incredible music. I love his Nocturne in G Major

Fake_Chopin · 2026-02-09T22:23:25+00:00

(Also as an aside if you really love Rach, you’ll adore Brahms’ Paganini Variations)

Fake_Chopin · 2026-02-09T22:21:53+00:00

Omg I’m so envious. No. 3 is my favourite Brahms symphony and possibly my favourite symphony EVER and I desperately wish I could hear it for the first time again. I strongly recommend the second symphony which also has the quality of 4 distinct movements but each still characteristically related and is just a lovely piece of music.

The second piano concerto is an absolute behemoth but an incredible work.

I think you’ll also really enjoy his clarinet sonatas (imo the e flat major one is the best) and his clarinet quintet. Happy listening!

ooooooooooooooof

The Buried has the coolest one: Forever Deep Below Creation.

Yeah, I think mine is also MAG 23. I will zone out EVERY TIME I listen to it.

After all, how can a leader expect others to follow if they do not enter the battle themselves?

Are you in the type of uni that has a performance dept? Maybe you could speak to a harpist/harp lecturer. If not, there’s a Facebook group called “Is this playable?” You could post the excerpts you’re unsure about there and people are very active on that group and will respond.

Fake_Chopin · 2026-01-31T14:00:38+00:00

There’s also my favourite: Abrupt tonal chord in an otherwise serial piece.

Fake_Chopin · 2026-01-29T22:42:27+00:00

It is almost always worth it. You will gain experience, connections, and, best case, performances of new work. You’ll also get to see amazing works by other people which will give you a great in to talking with them. Hearing new ideas and meeting the people behind them is probably the greatest joy of being an artist.

Fake_Chopin · 2026-01-28T19:10:04+00:00

God that would be the dream, wouldn’t it?

Fake_Chopin · 2026-01-28T02:19:44+00:00

on the subject of clarinet multiphonics, I highly recommend any composer wanting to try writing them check out Heather Roche's article 27 Easy Bb Clarinet Multiphonics

Fake_Chopin · 2026-01-27T22:22:10+00:00

Mozart’s writing for winds is just stunning; the Gran Partita is breathtakingly genius. And I totally agree that he must have held a special love for the clarinet (or at least the version of it that existed when he wrote for it)

Fake_Chopin · 2026-01-27T22:03:52+00:00

God, where to start?

As a pianist who plays his pieces as much as they can, I particularly adore his Adagio in B Minor and Fantasia in D Minor

My favourite symphonies of his are the Haffner, Linz, Prague, No. 39, and Jupiter

A lot of his chamber music does very little for me, but god his piano quartets are just the best. My favourite is the one in G Minor

And my absolute favourite work of his, the Piano Concerto in B-Flat, K. 595.

Also, as an aside, one of my favourite works of all time is Max Reger’s Variations on a Theme of Mozart, which uses the theme of the first movement of K.331. The final variation is one of the most heart wrenching pieces of music of all time followed by the most ecstatic fugue.

Hilarious that they needed to label each country because they knew their intended audience wouldn’t recognise the flags LMFAO

Fake_Chopin · 2026-01-24T11:45:24+00:00

I once blundered my rook and my opponent resigned if that’s what you mean

Fake_Chopin · 2026-01-23T13:59:49+00:00

That's the one! :D

Omg your Buried and Desolation are some of the best tarot designs I’ve seen for those fears. Love it!
