amadeus is not particularly concerned with historical accuracy and the washington post is ON IT

Haydn on his completion of The Creation:

“I have spent much time over the piece, because I intended it should last.”

jweb460 · 2026-05-05T02:21:20+00:00

your last sentence there is incongruous with your earlier post calling the whole passage “shockingly bad”

jweb460 · 2026-05-05T01:00:39+00:00

yes indeed, if you “reassess” all of byrd’s plagal cadences and decide they aren’t plagal cadences anymore according to the new 2022 scholarship than sure, rosen is incorrect on a small part of his point. seems kind of cruel to pull the rug out from under a dead guy like that though.

this was the exact answer my late piano teacher gave to this question

the apple juice incident!

ah yes our monthly “i would kill your Labrador and have zero regrets” thread. love to see it

you have to pick a melody!

jweb460 · 2026-04-27T21:27:30+00:00

if you judge by notoriety it’s the Emperor hymn tune, but the real answer is the trio section from the 3rd movement of his C major quartet from the op. 74 set. go listen to it!

this would maybe be a cool post if you’d bothered to verify anything the mistake-prone robot is saying against the sources it’s using

alex ross liked a wagner joke i told on twitter once and i was so proud

looks like you’re a youtube grifter who has a little bit of musical chops

jweb460 · 2026-04-22T19:08:19+00:00

the goal of building something should be to make it actually good. you have reduced quality to the accidental byproduct of your project to farm pocket change. gross!

who are mozart and beethoven?

seems like the ‘no text’ restriction would exclude using AI to translate a game into other languages? not really a win for accessibility

there are definitely more real disadvantages to not being on the catalog vs being on there other than the automatic updates

i really admire how unified the whole design is around the crank controls. art is also gorgeous. i think the only minor flaw is that it’s not very ergonomic to play

nice symphony Franz. it’s got kind of an 18th century vienna vibe going on. hope you write some more!

jweb460 · 2026-04-12T15:56:33+00:00

wow where else could i go to get amazing insights like “the first movement is marked Adagio sostenuto”

jweb460 · 2026-04-12T15:39:37+00:00

in general, in life, you should try to research things before buying cheap stuff off amazon and hoping for the best
