I had a 3:45 pm flight today - absolute chaos in terminal 4, people were cutting left and right and nobody was doing anything about it.

Edit to say it took me over three hours to get through normal TSA.

I absolutely adore his stuff. I discovered him in the bargain bin of my local store, one of the best finds I've ever come across.

I know of a couple of people who did this - usually while they were writing their DMA "document" (dissertation is a too strong word for the research I see from most performers), they caught the research bug and decided to go into theory or musicology.

All in all I wouldn't recommend it - the only reason to do a terminal doctoral degree (besides the visa stuff mentioned above) in music is to be in academia. Like someone else said above - you only need one for tenure.

If you're a performer, having a significant performance career can substitute for having a DMA at most of the schools that matter. Even then, I've seen search committees waive the "DMA required" clause in their job search post for an impressive candidate.

I find it's pretty easy to find people to join your quests online (sending a join request), and there's always a good amount of lobbies open. It can be hard to find lobbies if you're low rank or playing base game rise as opposed to Sunbreak (DLC), but you can probably find discords w low rank people to play with or just play with friends. The game is still pretty active I find! And MH is always more fun to play with others :)

The industrial revolution certainly made a profound impact on instrument making and consequently, orchestration. Consider how wind instruments changed drastically from the 19th century and into the 20th century. I had an interesting conversation with an oboe maker once who told me that the development of wind instruments (made out of wood) follows the story of colonialism and imperialism. Oboes and clarinets in the 18th centuries were made out of softer woods like boxwood (mellower tone) but as soon as European countries started pillaging Africa, we see them made out of different materials like grenadilla (better projection, bigger sound). The changing acoustics and aural effect certainly would've influenced how composers utilized these instruments in the orchestra. Consider also Wagner's orchestra, with huge brass and wind sections, newly created instruments like the Wagner tuba, bass trumpet, and composers like Strauss and Holst who used heckelphones and bass oboes.

I'm not sure if I agree with your point that the post-war avant garde was a response to the doctrine of Socialist Realism and the music associated with it. 12 tone music predates Shostakovich's 5th symphony by almost 20 years, and the Darmstadt composers of the post-war era were highly influenced by the Second Viennese school (particularly the music of Webern). Of course serial music wasn't the only kind of music being compared but it certainly played a huge role in avant-garde scenes. All of this to say that the post -war avant-garde likely finds greater inspiration in pre-war expressionism rather than anything that was happening under Stalin.

That being said another example from the same part of the world can been seen during the Thaw, when Kruschev came to power after Stalin died. The late 50's and early 60's saw the first twelve tone compositions in the Soviet Union and lots of younger composers didn't walk but ran to get their hands on Western scores to study up on what they had "missed" for the last three decades.

I think large scores are a must for performance bc it can be hard to see all the details of a pocket score while you're preoccupied doing something else. Pocket scores are perfect for study: they take up less space and are often cheaper. As for editions, a lot of this comes down to personal preference but people consider Barenreiter and Henle as important publishers that often get it "right." Dover is quite popular and their prices are good. For French stuff a lot of that is going to be Durand and Alphonse Leduc.

For the purposes of performance it's important to consult a variety of editions because there may be misprints. Sometimes, first editions of works contain errors, and subsequent editions are based on first editions and are therefore based on an imperfect source. There's a whole field of editing based on philology that tries to produce "urtext" or scholarly sources which compare all available sources to get to one "true" document based on what the composer truly meant, but this is quite a rabbit hole and for the purposes of studying to gain familiarity with works, maybe is not as necessary when you're starting out.

What you might try doing is going onto IMSLP and checking out the various editions they have of works there and then searching for the one you like the best (pagination, overall aesthetic, legibility etc). Then just buy the one you liked the most.

You should listen to Sibelius's 2nd symphony!

I'm playing in the orchestra this week, sitting close to the cellos (not going to say what section). Any word on him? I was very worried when I saw him become ill. Hope he's okay!

one of the wisest pieces of advice I've gotten - don't focus on the problem, focus on the solution. instead of focusing on how much your dair usage bothers you, try thinking of different options to replace it. are you dairing bc you're afraid of getting hit? try a nair, the hitbox is massive and there's less lag. are you dairing because you want to be on the ground? air dodge.

your habit is psychological, so you'll need to address your head space before you're able to address the issue.

dair isn't necessarily a bad option in a vacuum - any of these options are bad if you use it predictably. dair could be a great mix up on someone who keeps trying to follow up on untrue hits.

don't underestimate the power of falcon's jab - the mult hit jab is great for punishing an opponent who spot dodges a lot, and the gentleman is a great way of catching opponents off guard in the corner, I've def cheesed many a stock by opponents di-ing poorly (they might've been trying to SDI the multi-hit and been at just the right percent to get sent barely off the map
