You’ve heard of naming your instruments, now get ready for...

…naming your caprices

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

[saintbaselshouse]

It’s Mambo number six

[official-muusorgsky]

IM CAPRICE 7

[robertschumann-official]

oh my god 

are these named after composers

@rebeccaclarke-official, @williamwalton-official, @belabartok-official, i have no clue about the next two, @johannesbrahms-official, @franzschubert-official / @franzliszt-official, @benji-britten-official, ME :D, @wolfgangamadeusmozart-official, and probably @johncage-official tbh 

[itsaviolathing]

@robertschumann-official Yeah they are named after the composers, I can’t remember who George was (not @georg-fred-handel-official though) and Krzysztof is Penderecki, and Franz was @franzschubert-official Each caprice used an idea from a famous viola piece and then named after the composer, so Rebecca Clarke sonata, Walton viola concerto, etc. etc.

I’m homosexuality…obviously

[benji-britten-official]

I think it goes without saying...existential crisis...

[musiceducating]

in my late night need-to-turn-a-bibliography-in-tomorrow frenzy, i found out that britten was gay. i’m going to have a really hard time not starting my paper with “Benjamin Britten, the renowned twentieth-century British composer, was homosexual”

[benji-britten-official]

Feel free to do so-mention my darling Peter too

[benji-britten-official]

@jsbach-official, @vanbeethoven-official FATHER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING???!!
