The Kreutzer Sonata (c.1912-1914). Joseph DeCamp (American, 1858–1923). Oil on canvas.

The Violin Sonata No. 9 of Ludwig van Beethoven, commonly known as the Kreutzer Sonata, was published as Beethoven’s Opus 47. It is known for its demanding violin part, unusual length (a typical performance lasts slightly less than 40 minutes), and emotional scope — while the first movement is predominantly furious, the second is meditative and the third joyous and exuberant.

Good musicians think they’re bad musicians. The only musicians that think they’re good musicians are mediocre musicians, amazing, world-class musicians, and trumpet players.

Something I wrote freshman year, forgot about, and rediscovered (via ironic-flute)

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!!!!

@classical-crap

Here you go. Completely unaesthetic practice pics from tonight.

Feat: My DIY reed cup, spilled reed water, unopened music binder, and my laptop (used to weigh down my phone charger so it wouldn’t fall off). Also, my terrible bassoon. My clarinet isn’t even in sight. Wow.

[bae-ssoon]

Please tell me the reed water didn’t spill on the piano 😫

[classical-crap]

I want to start seeing non-aesthetic-y pictures of practice rooms. don’t show me your sleek black music stand in front of the city skyline you can see through your window. don’t show me the impossible concerto you’re working on and your cup of steaming chai tea. take a picture of your crappy wire stand in the bathroom (because of the good acoustics) and an easy c major scale and a bag of half-eaten doritos on the floor. show me the truth
