Three sharps

Why does everybody hate on sharps?

[peachine]

[five-flats]

a call for an election

following @classicalcarp’s resignation as president of music tumblr an election is in order. nominees are required from all 5 parties of music tumblr - jesuses/deities, the carps, the keys, the composer fanblogs and the official-instrument blogs

this is to distract me from the fact that my crush of 11 months has started dating someone and i found out today

[hotguysfugue]

i’m none of these lmao

[opus3no1]

We demand equal representation

[jsbach-official]

Friend would you like a hug and some chocolate instead

[papabach]

@five-flats I would like to not nominate anyone, but automatically un-nominate any Mozart if they are nominated. Thank you. Sane leadership required.

[vanbeethoven-official]

THIS IS MY APPLICATION

NAME: I AM BEETHOVEN

QUALIFICATIONS: I AM BEETHOVEN

CURRENT JOB TITLE: I AM BEETHOVEN

[papabach]

I SAID SANE LUDWIG

YOU DO NOT QUALIFY

[fredericchopin-official]

me

[papabach]

Better

[viola-trash]

May I suggest @four-flats as this rigged election does not allow me to be in contention. Plus I think she’d be better at it than me anyways. :)

[that-twink-composer]

Guys let’s just run as independents! No party to hold our general urls back

[that-twink-composer]

Ok but to be totally honest @viola-trash is absolutely right and @four-flats has my vote any day

[deactivated-blog]

Why I stay on the marching/concert side

[saxoparent]

I didn’t even know we had a music tumblr president

[deactivated-blog]

CAN I NOMINATE MYSELF!

[dead-on-the-marching-field]

I’d vote for you

[deactivated-blog]

Awwww I have one vote!

[a-major-official]

I'll vote for you too! I'd run for it, although this blog has been very inactive, and I haven't been as active on my main blog as I used to be either :/

[r-r-j-deactivated20240404]

Breathe. Is this very act not a miracle? Listen to your beating heart. What music compares?

Sharps, flats, and naturals matter. All accidentals matter.

[official-f-minor]

@a-major-official 

[a-major-official]

Yes!

[official-d-minor]

It’s refreshing to see a wholesome post like this.

[a-major-official]

Honestly, yeah

[in-the-key-of-f-major]

I’m glad the three of you agree with me.

[classicallytrainedidiot]

Yay!!! Unity in the key signature realm!

[official-f-minor]

No one shall divide us.

[official-d-minor]

Good. I’m tired of the sharps vs flats debate.

[in-the-key-of-f-major]

It warms my heart to see this.

[chihaya-anon]

I’m glad we’ve reached equality for all pitches now let’s do twelve-tone

[toebeansalad-deactivated2023080]

And all KEYS are equally important people

[in-the-key-of-f-major]

This post is getting better and better.

[a-major-official]

When you're gonna do some scale practice and mess up the first one

[thatonecrappymusicstand-offical]

@dotted-half-note I thought it was time we step this meme up. Bow down peasants. I can make your rehersal hell.

[dotted-half-note]

the devil himself is here (Seriously though am I some kind of authority on this now)

[johnphilipsousa-official]

It would appear that you are at least the pseudo-authority on he subject.

[dotted-half-note]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[official-piano]

@dotted-half-note as official composers and instruments administrator 2k16

[dotted-half-note]

@bassflutes we’ve come a long way from you informing me of a small joke that has since exploded

[hexaviolet]

I DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THIS LITERALLY ALL STARTED BECAUSE SOMEONE IN A GROUP CHAT HAD A CRAPPY IDEA AND IT EXPLODED AND NOW WE CAN’T CONTROL WHAT WE ACCIDENTALLY CREATED

[dotted-half-note]

I shall do my best to keep the beast under control. I accept the duty with a solemn and sincere heart.

[official-piano]

Not only will we need the head admin, who watches over both the composers and instruments, but we also need sub-admins for each branch I volunteer to administrate the official instruments  

[hexaviolet]

whoa we’re getting official up in meme hell

[shostagroovich]

We need offical notes now

[official-c]

Yo I’m C

[modernishbasketball]

Okay but literally hell yeah??? F# is freakin great. I love that note. Hell yeah.

[woodwinds-and-brass]

Thanks for disappointing me again Pisces. The note of the scale I hate.

[a-major-official]

Ah! Sharps are better though

[effminor]

I’m ready to fight all of you.

[you-had-me-at-e-flat-major]

oh no

[pianistical]

even as a string player i like flats better what does that say about me

[you-had-me-at-e-flat-major]

it means you’re a good person

[theclosetpianist-deactivated202]

I believe all accidentals are created equal

[musicalshards]

But some are more equal than others.

[official-f-minor]

I may have flats in my key signature, but I support my friends who have sharps. @a-major-official 

[a-major-official]

Why thank you, @official-f-minor
