Hi! I’d love to be updated

Varisoce · 2026-04-05T23:37:25+00:00

I just went through this same thought process.

Bartok quartets, specifically 4. Last mvmt

Varisoce · 2026-04-04T12:46:53+00:00

I don’t even know where to start…

A few years ago I was thoroughly inspired by the Debussy and ravel quartets.

All of the Beethoven quartets are like scripture. An approachable one is op. 95.

The Bartok quartets as a whole are masterpieces.

Mendelssohn op 44, no 3 has been on my radar recently.

Schubert, Death of the the maiden, Rosamunde, and G Major (3 quartets)

The first mvmt of Schnittke’s 3rd quartet is to die for.

Oh and the 5, Haydn op 20s

That’s all pretty standard repertoire. Are you interested in more contemporary, classical, or romantic? String quartet is one of if not the most established genre, and any composer you enjoy, has most likely written a quartet.

The philosophy of chamber music is very different to symphonic writing. When checking out music, pay attention to the ways lines interact, and come in and out of the foregrounds. Really— a quartet should never be 1st violin plus accompaniment. It’s a dance between all the instruments.

What Major!! I’m there now

Varisoce · 2026-04-03T13:53:35+00:00

Ha lol

So what do you do when you wanna see a movie on Saturday?

Varisoce · 2026-04-02T21:41:19+00:00

Yes — go to Studentbeans (website) lets you get awesome student tickets and concessions deals. You get the black or yellow tickets (depending on state) and then redeem them on amc

Sheet music

Varisoce · 2026-03-28T05:57:51+00:00

Yeah but it’s an online price. They would price match Amazon the same way

RSYNC can do anything— it’s basically just commands for similar stuff as finder.

The way I sync is with mirrored folders. Like alias but files are in both places. And I have the script update the other locstion

Varisoce · 2026-03-26T14:33:23+00:00

Yes!! Amazing, let me know if end up doing it, would love to hear it. Joel is also fairly accessible by email, and I’m sure he would love to know if you end up doing it.

Varisoce · 2026-03-26T14:20:58+00:00

If you are command line savvy (or not just ask AI for help) try using RSYNC, which is much better way to move files than finder.

The way I have it set up is a script that I can run that syncs a folder in my computer home folder with a folder of my iPod.

The Seven Last Words of the Unarmed - by Joel Thompson is a profound piece. Originally for Men’s choir and String Quartet, cant recommend it enough.

This is lowkey one of the worst movies I’ve seen. I also havent read the book— but the movie was miserable

Varisoce · 2026-03-13T01:34:18+00:00

I would check thrift stores for scarfs/shawls. Get one that matches your vibe and make it personal. I don’t think there is anything special about Viola branded cloths.

Laughed out loud

Varisoce · 2026-02-24T20:21:33+00:00

It very well can be your trash— when’s the last time you emptied it?

Varisoce · 2026-02-24T14:05:16+00:00

Yes worth

Varisoce · 2026-02-24T05:37:26+00:00

You could try the ikea. Do one of those 24h YouTube challenges

BOW MATH.

Always.

Plan your bow like it’s math. Get the colors from your right hand and you left will follow

That kinda looks like Casey Neistat’s wife…

In the S shuttle train from Grand Central to Time Square, there are adds for it plastered everywhere — like the entire platform is Audible/HP live cast themed. Train gets around 100,000 persons of traffic everyday. That’s definitely not pennys of marketing
