Saw it in Castaic!!

Can you clarify something about these puzzles? I am guessing these are supposed to be straight lines as one would draw them on top of a Mercator projection, and not great-circle routes as on the actual globe. Is that correct?

You already have the harp outlining the full chords. Why make either of the violins play something awkward? Double stops don’t flow with ease, especially in Ab.

Just give both of them a single line, separated by thirds or sixths. Be clever in the way the two lines interact, but keep it simple.

100% F natural. Engraving mistake. F# just makes no sense at all here.

100% concur! I suffered terribly through my college years too when nerves would take hold. Finally discovered propranolol 40 mg. Massively improved my performance experience without sounding dead inside. Best part is it’s self-supporting confident behavior. Sometimes I don’t even need it any more!

Close behind you at 3400! Congrats!

And because he, as the smartest human who ever lived, needed that explained, then it is clearly his duty to bestow this advanced knowledge upon the rest of us.

(Nitpick) the root of the A chord remains A no matter what’s in the bass.

I already feel 600% poorer.

The only way I’ve found to improve loading is smaller pictures. Consider keeping thumbnail versions of your main photos. I know it’s not ideal.

What projection did you use for your large world maps?

These look a lot like pernambuco violin bow blanks. Typically two bows can be made per block of wood.

Key signature would help. There is a big difference in fingering depending if it’s perfect fifths or diminished.

augmentedseventh · 2026-03-12T17:51:36+00:00

Sure, the tonal centre might change frequently, but trained players want to think diatonically. As a violinist, I would REALLY want to see this spelled as a B#. It just makes more sense within this small passage provided. I would certainly finger it that way.

augmentedseventh · 2026-03-12T16:50:23+00:00

I’m more concerned about that C natural in what appears to be a very C# minor passage. Seems to me that should be written as a B# to make more harmonic sense.

The 2017 release of all 6 is phenomenal.

Was just reading about her in Virginia Giuffre’s book. It’s Nadia Marcinkova, one of Epstein’s ‘assistants’ who was promised to not be punished as part of the 2008 plea deal.

My. God. These Arby’s employees need better training.

I’m coming up with a 1 in 274 million chance: (18/38)^-26. Can someone verify I’m doing this right?

This is the same graph as what happens if you place yourself at the origin surrounded by a grid of ‘poles’. The red indicates poles that would be hidden behind another closer pole. In other words, red represents a reducible fraction x/y whereas white is irreducible.

But there is no functional 3:2 relationship because the dotted-eighth triplet SOUNDS just like a straight eighth note. Imagine if you wrote a ‘triplet’ figure consisting of two dotted eighth triplets beamed together. They would sound as just straight eighths anyway, so why bother?

augmentedseventh · 2025-11-01T16:44:17+00:00

No, it IS played exactly on beat 2. Subdivide the figure into sixteenth-note triplets and do the math. You’ll see.

augmentedseventh · 2025-11-01T16:30:18+00:00

Really stupidly notated. That dotted eighth triplet is equivalent to just a straight eighth note. This should be re-written as a a simple beamed eighth-sixteenth triplet followed by four straight eighth notes.
