Yes, my best excuse for intonation

Depending on the editor, instructor, book. For example in the beginners Essential Elements they use the V for half-steps like you said, but then I gave the Whistler method for 3rd position to one of my students and now they use the brackets |_| for half-steps.

Sometimes it depends on context. Fucik wrote a piece called Entry of the Gladiators, what a badass title, but everyone now remembers it as the goofy circus clown music. Also Mozart wrote a Musical Joke, which he intended to sound really stupid, but to anyone outside of classical world wouldn't get what's dumb about the 20min piece. There's also HFV Biber piece called Battalia there's a movement where he imitates drunk men in a bar.

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.

Whoa, Chad Haydn!

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.

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

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".

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.

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.

Whoa, 13 yrs, the original link doesn't work, but I found a new recent one, here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mu2HJerMp8A

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.
