when your entire squad is in band and youre playing everyones favorite piece

[classicliteraturehoe]

I want a sitcom like The Office/Parks & Rec following classical musicians so that every episode, someone says something relatable then says "Can I get an Amen Cadence" and then it pans to someone at the piano, who plays a plagal cadence and no one questions this.

What I learned in my music business course is that music stores are targeted towards the amateur, but there are stores specifically tailored to band and orchestra instruments

The Worst Thing I Have Ever Seen About Chopin

So last night, I watched most of Impromptu (1991) with my girlfriend. I love Chopin, I love George Sand, and I thought it would be interesting to see how they would be portrayed in film. Also Hugh Fucking Grant is in this movie and I am my mother’s daughter (meaning I’ve seen every romcom known to man), therefore I think Hugh Grant is a treasure (unless he has done something horrible god i hope he hasn’t done something horrible).

We stopped watching after the following scene (I’m including my mental commentary):

me: i swear to god if this movie does what i think it’s going to do i swear to the lord jesus christ if this movie has him play the fucking minute waltz i am going to scream holy fuck this movie can not do this to me right now-”

me: 

FUCK

is it narcissistic to listen to my own compositions just as you do? cause im sorry but those jantys are fire (third coming out in a few days) what a way to liven up a placid saturday afternoon

[composerinprogress]

you can be proud of something you’ve written so long as you are aware of how much room you have to grow. Listening to your own music excessively doesn’t mean it’s the greatest piece ever written, it simply means it’s something you’re proud of and makes you happy. There’s nothing wrong with that. If you think it’s the best composition in the world, then yeah it might be considered narcissistic. Otherwise, you’re all good.
