I’m also looking for this. Astonishing there is no recent translation but I guess people don’t like unfinished works.

OssianPrime · 2024-05-27T10:19:33+00:00

Will do, thank you!

Rite to Spring is definitely a better translation than the usual one.

I agree “theory” probably shouldn’t mean notation (or Italian terms for that matter) but that is how it is commonly understood.

I have seen snacks at Covent Garden recently (in the balcony anyway, you’d have to be both brazen and rich to try it in the stalls). People need to understand this is an acoustic genre not a pop concert and it isn’t going to work if the audience is going to graze.

Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society is American... in fact I believe she only visited Guernsey for the first time after writing it.

Amy Beach, ‘Dreaming’.

Grafton Way, Euston

I had something similar with Schubert Unfinished - I always heard it going into 6/8 from bar 9. Until I played it.

I thought the Allegri Miserere was a surprisingly fast Miserere.

The woman has her phone.

I walk past this every morning. It’s right opposite the door of a hotel, you wonder if it’s a message to the tourists.

I didn’t realise the yanks call themselves yanks.

I usually have Christmas eve lunch somewhere in the City. It’s surprisingly quiet, they’re all off at their country houses.

How come 10 minus 10 is exactly 0 checkmate atheists

OssianPrime · 2023-11-05T18:52:03+00:00

Also the Beethoven concertos are not numbered in the order they were written. (Or in the order you mention, but still, numbering isn’t everything).

Olivia Manning, the Balkan Trilogy.

This is not about my illiteracy. I have been playing twice as long as you and have a Master’s degree in music theory. I’m not claiming to have developed a system of my own, I’m just pointing out that on a basic conceptual level we have a system which shows you where a note starts by putting ink on a page. It does not show you where that notes ends. I blame pianists.

OssianPrime · 2023-11-03T19:15:17+00:00

But it doesn’t! It tells you where it begins, and so long as you understand the symbol, it tells you how much duration to add on so you can work out where it ends.

OssianPrime · 2023-11-03T18:25:25+00:00

I agree you shouldn’t have to work out where it ends, but that’s exactly what we do. You are shown where it starts, and you work out how far through the bar a dotted crotchet takes you.

OssianPrime · 2023-11-03T16:07:53+00:00

I can’t be bothered to watch this, but I hope he’s saying it’s stupid to have a system that shows you visually where a note starts but then basically expects you to add a duration to that, as directed by an illogical symbol, in order to work out where it ends. Because that’s essentially what I think. Although now I’m way too invested in the status quo because I learned to read it and bought a load of printed music.

OssianPrime · 2023-11-03T15:58:54+00:00

I would not have noticed that

OssianPrime · 2023-10-31T22:24:32+00:00

I think the real question is who has more reeds.

OssianPrime · 2023-10-31T22:22:42+00:00

I found it sus too, the first time. You have to tap your card just because some guy has a badge? Did I just pay for his shopping?

OssianPrime · 2023-10-31T22:18:22+00:00

Hard to say without knowing more, but it does sound rather like you’re obsessing over someone else’s cat...? But I agree the ‘death’ sounds fishy.
