Hello, dear guest!
My name is Daphne Acres. I'm a fellow Internet user, and I like to speak on interesting topics.
I can play the piano and I write sometimes.
I like music history, arts and literature. I like the XVIII-XX centuries, and also I'm a bit fond of space and sci-fi movies :D
If you want to talk, I'm always here.
❤️
Lately I've asked about satire. Here it is.
(WARNING: controversial post ahead)
**
Richard Wagner.
Yes, his music inspired many composers. Yes, his music was progressive in some way. Yes, his operas are interesting to analyze. But his personality... Let's just say, it wasn't a very pleasant one.
And this is what I can say about his personality.
**
"Richard Wagner,
and the greatest epopeya of the century."
Oh, no! It's not about myself.
About the anchor and the spirit
That puts all reason on the shelf
And wins the gold of someone with it!
Pray tell, do you recall a name
That called me weak and graphomanic?
I'd built a temple, get my fame,
And they would question all the panic...
I hold the word, the ancient word:
What art thou? Thou art so plebeian!
For years my voice was never heard,
And you recall a silent me, and
That's the reason why you're fading!
My own house! That's what I call right.
I see project, then I build it.
Of course, I'll write from night to night
To royalty, to SURELY build it.
And then, I'd ask my dearest friend
To lend me money for a garden
With peacocks on the lawn! That's it!
He'd by my theatre's own warden.
And then I'd steal all what he loves.
And it's the green he'd see forever.
And it's the cold that he adores,
'Cause gold is mine, and his is never.
I'll write a play! Who sees my sins?
I'm sure, it's gonna be no problem.
My play, MY play, it just begins,
For decades you will sit and solve it!
And it's the end of what I've done.
I'll grab my pencil, lot the candle,
And write again, "I've just begun,
I'm sure, it's you, who'd really handle
me,
Richard Wagner,
and the greatest epopeya of the century"
(And from the beginning)
(Sigh)
I want to make a satire on someone from music history. I seriously want to pick up a controversial figure and make a satire thingy.
Is it a good idea?..
Daily affirmation: I am not going to fall down these stairs I am not going to fall down these stairs I am not going to fall down these stairs I am not going to fall down these stairs I am not going to fall down these stairs I am not going to fall down these stairs I am not going to fall down these stairs I am not going -
... Stairs, yes.
That's also my greatest enemy
made a quick cute scriabin bust today!
It was fun to make
Since I've seen a lot of Ravel on Tumblr, I've decided to draw him (as well as listening to Gaspard de la Nuit, since it's one of the first things that come to mind when talking about Ravel). I'm going to learn about him and impressionism a bit later, buuuut- Gaspard de la Nuit is definitely one of the most unique program piano cycles! So yeah, it's somehow inspired directly from it
Also, I REALLY liked the version by Ivo Pogorelich.
Your honour, I love him 🥰
Sometimes Mahler's music makes me think of something like this
I tried to illustrate it, it's just what came to mind :,,,
Anyway, the more I discover something about Mahler, the more I understand how great he is...
Happy Rite of Spring day for those who celebrate ‼️‼️ ‼️
It's very late, but still
Happy Rite of Spring day! :,D
More catpawsers
I like it!!! It's adorable :^

Wanted to draw people quickly, ended up drawing Alban Berg
He's so underrated
Air in G - J. S. Bach
Do I dare start another Ravel book instead of sleeping?
Yes. Yes I do.
Do I dare start another Rimsky-Korsakov book instead of sleeping?
Yes. Yes I do.
Alexander Borodin
He anticipated impressionism quite well.
(Also I like his orchestral works and songs so much-)
I also quite like the fact that he made a big research while writing the libretto and composing the music for "Prince Igor". And he also knew Mendeleev and Botkin quite well... Seriously, I could talk endlessly about him :,D
being a shostakovich fan makes you seem utterly insane sometimes. "classical music is so relaxing!" they say, as i sit here listening to incest necrophilia war movement of russian death poem symphony
being a berlioz fan makes you seem utterly insane sometimes. "classical music is so relaxing!" they say, as i sit here listening to crazy depressed unrequited love opium overdose witch dance symphony
being a stravinsky fan makes you seem utterly insane sometimes. "classical music is so relaxing!" they say, as i sit here listening to kidnapping and sacrificing young russian pagan girls symphony
being a holst fan makes you seem utterly insane sometimes. "classical music is so relaxing!" they say, as i sit here listening to intense planet and astrology-related symphony (suite)
... To the library.
If you know, you know.
(Also: he's holding a manuscript of Glück)
