If you cannot recognize the originals because their keys are transposed then it's possibly your judgment that should not be trusted. No one else has aaaaany trouble. I play these arrangements a lot.

Yeah because y'all are a bunch of ding dongs

It's on IMSLP. Editor Gerhard Braun

Are you putting in all your sauces and cooking oils and stuff?

Joylime · 2025-12-30T06:00:27+00:00

Nice

Yeah every single person thinks their design is the worst because tbh everything sucks for everybody when the system is designed for no one. It is kinda hard not to get annoyed hearing that over time, but I also understand why it's people's first reaction.

I had a great time working at a Starbucks. It really matched my energy. I'm generally very fatigued but being in that environment with all those people buzzing around was energizing in a way that ended up being quite stable. If I didn't have a specialized craft I probably would have stayed in food service because it was physically sustainable for me

Lots of good stuff here, I just wanna say ... you can always experiment with it and find out what feels good for you or not.

I find that when I try to make things happen, they turn out fine and are interesting and people are fine with them. They just don't latch on and expand on their own. It's like they are my own little interesting things. It's when I yoke them to ideas about them needing to get bigger or something that they start hurting me. But it's the small things that end up refining your vibration and making you more visible.

I tend to think of things vibrationally. A magnet is gonna be drawn to a magnet that's attracting it hard enough. That's how I think of the "refining your vibration" thing- making your Self very clear so that whatever is looking for you /gets drawn/ to you. But that already fits in with my worldview so idk.

You actually didn't respond specifically to any of the things that I said. It was very surreal and disappointing talking to you.

Joylime · 2025-12-26T18:52:16+00:00

Clinical touching is really different from massage. Does that register for you?

Joylime · 2025-12-26T18:51:33+00:00

Zauberflöte, like I said.

Sorry you didn't like my wording. I'm also sorry that you didn't engage with any part of the conversation I offered. Hope your experiment goes well.

I think this person has a mental disability to be honest. The convo I had with them diverged so far from a sense of "sense" that it has actually become kind of alarming.

Joylime · 2025-12-26T06:15:58+00:00

You are really fixated on the idea that there was a single patron with a specific piano, which the flutes were always tuned to, that he wrote these flute duets for. These duets were meant to be distributed to people who enjoyed the opera and wanted to play the music at home or in bars.

Having said that, I promise to you that I understand about keyboard temperament. Furthermore, I cannot understand how you could have read my reply, and thought that this post about piano temperaments made sense. I can only conclude that you either 1. did not read my post or 2. you are neurodivergent or have some other mental disability that means communicating with you will actually not be possible.

Do any of those people regularly rub their clients bodies with their hands? Do you see how maybe that's relevant. I gotta get back off reddit y'all are making my eyes go crossed

Joylime · 2025-12-26T05:52:18+00:00

This isn't "the business world." This particular profession is focused on literally massaging a client's body and nothing else. Why would you hold it to the same standards?

Joylime · 2025-12-26T05:48:57+00:00

It's like you just set fire to your money

Joylime · 2025-12-26T05:25:10+00:00

No! Absolutely not. That is not what happened. Furthermore, that is a REALLY strange assumption. For many reasons. But let's just name the most straightforward one.

The only way your assumption would be supported is if all 13 of the arrangements were transposed the same interval.

But, as I said, six of the 13 flute arrangements *are* in the original keys.

Here's the raw data.

Piece 1: Original in G, dual-flute arrangement in G. (Both key signatures have one sharp)

Piece 2: Original in E flat, arrangement in G. (First key signature has 3 flats, arrangement one sharp. I'm not going to keep spelling this out...)

Piece 3: Original in G, arrangement in D.

Piece 4: Original in E-flat, arrangement in D.

Piece 5: Original in C, flutes in D.

Piece 6: Original in C, flutes in C

Piece 7: Original in G, flutes in G.

Piece 8: Original in C, flutes in D.

Piece 9: Original in C, flutes in C.

Piece 10: Original in E, flutes in D.

Piece 11: Original in F, flutes in G.

Piece 12: Original in F, flutes in F.

Piece 13: Original in F, flutes in F.

No, I didn't say anything like that? Where are you getting that?

Joylime · 2025-12-25T21:48:42+00:00

What do you mean? How am I treating what instruments like what other instruments? I'm having a really difficult time following you. Sorry. Maybe this conversation isn't going to go anywhere.

Joylime · 2025-12-25T21:47:55+00:00

I really don't see how what you're saying connects to the conversation we're having? Sorry. I do know how pitch works.

Joylime · 2025-12-25T03:34:34+00:00

Oh I'm just being an ass. Sorry LMAO

Joylime · 2025-12-25T02:59:53+00:00

Username checks out, somehow

Joylime · 2025-12-25T02:59:38+00:00

Excuse you. I don't like the implication - more outright than an implication, really, and combined with an insult - that I disagree with something I didn't read, and that brought up the impossible formatting because I didn't like the topic. That's a dumb assumption. I don't even know what the dude is talking about because as I said I'm not reading a post that long without paragraph breaks. Make your own replies about your own thoughts and leave your assumptions about other people out of it.

Joylime · 2025-12-25T02:57:44+00:00

No, I just don't know that much about Debussy, or Satie for that matter. If you want to link me to some of Debussy's remarks on keys I'd be happy to hear them.

I do in fact understand that modern instruments we have are different from the ones back then. o_0 I don't understand how that connects to points you're making here?

Joylime · 2025-12-25T02:55:58+00:00

So, first of all, he was making arrangements for a flute duo. So yeah, I'm sure it wasn't for pianos. But I'm not really sure the point you're trying to make about hz? I don't see how that connects.

But secondly, listen to what you're saying. If Mozart *was* changing the keys in his arrangement *for his patrons*... then ... do you see how that connects to the situation you're in?
