tchaikovsky is proud

[tinker-tanner]

In case anyone is baffled by this, there’s a Tchaikovsky piece in which there’s supposed to be a loud sound but he never specified what you should use to make that sound. People have done all kinds of weird shit depending on how they think the sound should, well, sound. Hitting a large piece of wood with a sledgehammer is a relatively conventional one.

Ah look, it’s back. The post that’s wrong and makes me actually want to talk about music history.

A) This piece is not Tchaikovsky, it’s called Ricochet (Ping Pong Concerto) by Andy Akiho

B) Tchaikovsky has some unconventional percussion in the 1812 Overture, but it explicitly calls for an actual literal battery of cannons. It’s often creatively replaced by conductors because not all performance halls and/or educational establishments condone the use of an actual literal battery of cannons.

C) The piece that requires unspecified percussion is Mahler’s 6th Symphony, which calls for a sound that is “brief and mighty, but dull in resonance and with a non-metallic character (like the fall of an axe).” This is usually translated as “Take a huge-ass hammer and hit a huge-ass block of wood with it.”

"only 90s kids remember-" wrong, if you're poor and/or rural enough, old tech and fashion doesn't just disappear when it stops being trendy. We had dial-up until 2012

no, actually, i can’t be friends with someone who has opposing political views. this is mostly due to the fact my views are “people deserve rights”
