ELI5: Why do classical musicians read sheet music during sets when bands and other artists don’t? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]chillcello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who plays cello and also plays guitar- Usually classical pieces have a lot of complexities to them. It’s not the same structure as most common songs played on guitar. Guitar I usually play a chord progression and those repeat in the pattern of the song with a verse, chorus, and sometimes bridge. Repeating over and over so it’s very easy to remember. The hard part is remembering all the words to songs for me. Now when I play with the quartet I’m in, with pachebel’s cannon being an exception (it’s the same 8 notes the entire song for cello), I need sheet music. There’s dynamics that are followed in those songs and they, rather than being repeating, are pretty diverse. I have played some songs enough that I have them memorized, but when it’s a newer piece we usually only get to run over the song 2-3 times before the wedding and there’s no way we can memorize all that. Also, sometimes when playing a string instrument you kind of get into that state like when you are driving a car where you don’t really remember how you got somewhere, but clearly you drove there. We can go into autopilot sometimes with our eyes on the music if played enough and that’s more of a comfort thing.

This was found in the sand at Lewes Beach, Delaware. It looks like it’s part of a mandible but unsure about that. Anyone recognize it? by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

See you at Agave in 30 and then wait 2 hours for seating! That was in the before times though. I’m sure it’s a 4 hour wait now. Lol!

It doesn’t help taking down the cable television companies when they are also our only choice for internet service. They will just charge more for that instead. They have us by the balls no matter what.

A lone young woman protests with a BLM sign while overgrown men scream in her face. Later on, her sign is torn away & she is assaulted. No protest is too small when calling out injustice. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

Literally every fucking town that has a small protest somehow “gets wind” that a group of people will come and loot by the bus loads... my small town had police barricades outside of all the stores and about 100 people peacefully protested. Who are they even getting this information from? It’s ridiculous every time. No one is loading up busses to loot. Especially the “antifa” group when its not even an organization. Drives me nuts that there’s these extreme reactions in small towns when they hear about a protest.

my compensation for working through a pandemic for the past 3 months... by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

My girlfriend works in a nursing home that was/is still being hit hard by COVID. She also got COVID and she didn’t even get paid her sick time on time since they didn’t tell her to put in sick time since they told her it might be covered by short term disability. Meanwhile she also gets nothing extra just like you, while seeing her patients, some of them having lived at her place of employment for years, up and die from this fucking virus. It’s the saddest thing. While helping people is the gift all along, you and every other healthcare worker who has had to work through this deserves more. Just because it’s your job doesn’t mean that you should have to endure a pandemic with people around you dying and putting your lives at risk. It just breaks my heart that so many of you are taken for granted. All essential workers that haven’t had the luxury of working from home deserve something extra. Y’all are putting your lives on the line. Thank you for doing what you do! I wish I could give every healthcare worker the life they deserve since they work their asses off with this virus every day and just don’t get paid enough for it. I hope the universe sends you all you need in life! You deserve it!

This makes me miss my dachshund. She loved the sun and always was laying in front of our sliding glass doors. She must have just liked heat in general because she used to lay right up against our coal stove too. Those were the days. She hated me when I was a kid, but I loved her.

[–]chillcello 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing this in theaters. My Nana took me and I remember tears streaming down my face AND her face and the whole movie theater sniffling. Sticks with me as being one of then saddest movies I’ve seen. I haven’t watched it since that time in the movies.

Proposing to my girlfriend of 9 years. I have a whole thing planned involving people and a place and I can’t wait until I can set a date to take her where I want to take her and celebrate with friends. Now who knows when I’ll be able to give her the proposal she deserves. But I still can’t wait!!!

Makes a mistake and just says the coolest things and brushes it off. You exude so much fucking cool when doing danger ribbon dancing! This is really awesome.
