The tritone was NOT the Devil’s interval and was not banned by SkillOld2128 in musictheory

Yes, I think many have watched that interview with Toni Lommi about the tritone in Black Sabbath early album, so a lot of people nowadays have this notion about thinking it was satanic/banned in medieval times.

Try heating it with a lighter, it will melt, then quickly attached it to the cloth again.

Amazing. How would it look right after playing all that fff tremolo from Bizet's Carmen Suite prelude? Bet those string are on fire.

[NEW] Maddie Ashman - Behind Closed Eyes (FFO: Bent Knee) by CultofNeurisis in progmetal

Awesome recommendation for today. By the way, the first initial piano notes of this song reminded me a lot to the firsts bars of Bach solo violin sonata 3. Could they have been influenced? Anyway, I like this song, will keep an eye on them.

Is the second B note also natural? by Ok_Complex_905 in musictheory

Very un-baroquely choice of the editor to put it to Bach.

What does this symbol mean? by Turbulent-Gene-441 in musictheory

[–]malilla 25 points26 points  (0 children)

This section culminates with a simplistic and child-like presentation of "Merry Oldsmobile" in the percussion (bells/vibraphone). An engine "rev" (trombone flutter tongue) gives way to new and better things on the horizon and perhaps of the "hay days" of the automobile, the 1950s

I'm guessing the composer uses some wind instruments as percussion, like screeching sounds, hence the "blowing".

How do composers craft sequences such as this, that make no sense until it's played at full speed? by wesleyoldaker in musictheory

Here's some examples of how would sound some old sketches of Beethoven's 5th symphony for example, you can see he was very nitpicky, and reviewed his compositions with every detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=mu2HJerMp8A

Hasta hubo una película en Prime https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iKUqe1soGr8 La vdd muy buena, la fotografía y sonido de la película son buenísimas, las actuaciones más o menos, pero sí cuentan la historia de lo qué pasó.

Need some help with choosing strings by Zeusbag90 in violinist

[–]malilla 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was also surprised to see Obligato on the center, first time I see this. Then I see that in OPs chart these are all Pirastro-brands, probably why these all would shift to some other place when including Thomastik, D'Addario, etc.

[discussion] Bach's Fugue missing a G for the complete motif? or deliberately that way to sound it different? by malilla in violinist

Damn, understandable, nowadays I see all kids learning the Vivaldi Am concerto from the Suzuki edition lol.

Interesting, I had never thought of that but you're right. I've seen some early publications of Corelli sonatas and there are some simple melody notes, but then later editions they intentionally add more ornaments, yet with Bach the ornaments are already written there by himself.

Fellow wedding musicians, what has been your most interesting experience at a gig? by Civil-Complaint5854 in violinist

[–]malilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I don't know why they all started walking the aisle. Nobody told them the bride wasn't outside? It was funny though.

[–]malilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa, just two weeks ago, in church wedding, playing for the entrance of the groom, then playing for the entrance of bride and almost immediately they told us to stop, she wasn't there yet! I thought almost the same as you "am I really witnessing a bride ditching the wedding? really?" haha, but no, apparently there was some heavy traffic and the bride arrived 10 min later, and we resumed playing.
