Minuets Up The Wazoo

A blog dedicated to our favorite chunk of wood. Run by a music tech major whose primary instrument has been cello for 12 years.

So I just found this document on my computer titled “Mahler history.rtf” 

According to a note I left at the top, it was written at 12:24 AM, but on what date I have no idea 

It’s literally just page after page of half-asleep, incoherent rambling about Gustav Mahler. Here are some of my favorite parts 

(I am deeply sorry that it’s in Comic Sans. I guess I thought that was an acceptable font choice at the time) 

Isn’t that always the way 

“autstrio-hungary ian” 

“accordion harp”

this is the point at which I lost my grip on reality

I think the only thing that’s right about this is that the problem involves a beethoven symphony and that’s about it

[musicalshards]

beethoven’s 9th but every time you assasinate one of the musicians it gets slower

as a classical music enthusiast i find it fucking hilarious when youtubers do the tmi tag and answer the question “do you prefer loud or soft music” with “i like bands who do both” as if it’s the edgiest answer ever like yes we’ve been doing that for centuries sometimes we even have multiple different volumes IN THE SAME PIECE!!!!
