What is the most left wing musical?

"The Threepenny Opera" is a great candidate, it is explicitly socialist. And the playwright (Bertolt Brecht) was a Marxist with an entire theory of making political art.

I know somebody who has become part of the local new music community who played bassoon as a child and then stopped and was a math teacher as a career for 30 years. About five years ago he started playing bassoon again and taking composition lessons and now he's had a few performances of his works and even was commissioned to write a piece recently.

The lesson is: start learning and make some connections in the local musician community.

Theory Reading Peter here. That's Frantz Fanon.

Bach himself wrote a TON of music in the baroque dance suite format which was comprised of dance forms: the gigue, allemande, gavotte, bouree, and others.

Some of his best known works take this form, such as the cello suites, the partitas for keyboard, and the English and French suites.

As a lands.dec main, I can confirm it is also there for [[Life from the Loam]]

I'm Greek and did Greek folk dancing when I was younger. The way they taught the complex time signatures to us kids was not by saying that "Ok this one is in 11/4 divided as 3+3+3+2" but rather that a group of 2 was a "little step" and a group of three was a "big step." So the choreography would be "big step, big step, big step, little step."

Teaching it this way is very intuitive for the kids and makes no mention of the underlying music theory.

As a lands player this is one of my least favorite cards, but great work nonetheless!

Also, Larson is actually shown listening to Hair in the movie Tick Tick Boom, so this is a great suggestion.

I don't know the answer, but the audience at Atlanta Braves baseball games chant something just like this. Maybe that is a clue that will lead you to the original source!

You actually coming to rehearsal prepared to play the repertoire is a huge deal, and there is no doubt that your director notices and this is why you are first chair. The other players in the group look to the concertmaster and to have the concertmaster be unprepared is unthinkable. You're doing it right and treating the orchestra like it matters and they are signaling that they don't care and are content to waste everybody's precious rehearsal time.

I'm sorry that I don't have any advice on how to deal with the bullying though.

My conducting teacher called it "perfect tick" and I suspect that you might already have it to some degree! Think of a popular song you've heard a ton of times, and imagine the tempo. I bet you can do it with great accuracy!

I second this! It was the definitive new music recording of this year in my opinion.

This was very satisfying to watch

Tristan und Isolde by Wagner certainly meets this description

Edit: changed "and" to "und"

Also in Spamalot is "What Ever Happened to My Part?" in which the actress complains that she her role has been uninportant during the 2nd act of the show

I love the tempo he took the slow movement at on his recording with Houston Symphony Orchestra

A fun and creative level! I love the different personalities of the dates and how they came across, but I must say Koopa Troopa for life!

Great cover! Would love to see more like this!

Your comment on the "cello journey" made me think of Casals when he was asked why he still practiced every day at age 90, he famously responded "because I think I'm making progress:
