For those of you that are wondering, please have one of the fiest pieces of radio comedy ever:
the first time i watched this i laughed so hard i nearly puked
THIRD BASE
Since I was 8 and found out about this for the first time my family has always followed up on someone saying “I don’t know,” with shouting “THIRD BASE”
The Twinyards after Tilda died
merlin but arthur never looks at merlin when merlin does magic - like he purposefully looks away, and he always looks really awkward
and merlin’s a little disheartened by it but ultimately is like “at least he doesn’t hate me, hopefully soon my magic wont make him uncomfortable :(”
on the other hand arthur is like freaking out because W H Y does merlin look so P R E T T Y with golden eyes
dark academia days off
practicing the flute; working on difficult classical pieces
studying chess plays
finishing your Regency Era book
lighting too many candles
waltzing around in your room to thrifted records
daydreaming of another life
procrastinating homework because you´d rather study anything else
long, drawn out baths
reciting poetry in the darkness
studying characters soliloquy´s and planning out your own
listening to chopin and tchaikovsky and deciding which one you prefer
rewatching dead poets and mona lisa smile for the billionth time
getting drunk off of wine by yourself and waking up to your drunken scribbled notes in the margins of your favorite book
comparing different film versions of emma and of pride and prejudice
compiling a new playlist for you to study and read to
worshipping the moon and stars
watching films in foreign languages and calling it studying
days of practice 2/?
worked some more on general music theory concepts
did basic warm ups (scales, arpeggios etc)
practiced sight reading with chopins prelude op28 no4 (by far the easiest chopin piece i’ve tackled)
and finally worked some more on la campanella
Franz Liszt was truly one of the men ever
- became a lifelong alcoholic to cope with his depression at about 16
- was proud of being Hungarian. Did not speak Hungarian
- Czerny thought young Liszt's playing was a mess (but fortunately saw potential in the kid)
- penned his academic/historical writings with truly extravagant purple prose
- was a Lord Byron fanboy and tried to steal his look
- was a fail dad who was too busy touring and being a sex object to take care of his 3 kids. essentially left them in the care of his relatives for the entirety of their childhood
- sure did look ratty as hell, like he was desperately in want of soap and a hairbrush
- was apparently hot enough to turn the heads of men as well as women. fans basically wanted his gamer boy bath water. Even in his old age some people were down horrendous for the gangly rat man
- wrote a whole book about his genuine appreciation of the Romani and their contributions to Hungarian music, yet also fell into romanticizing them as untamed transcendental musical geniuses
- was mocked by the press for making too much Expressions(TM) while playing the piano
- wrote "vibrato" on a piano score at one point
- alongside his original music, also wrote an impressive amount of what were basically impossible piano covers
the fact that is impossible for me, in one life, to study classical studies, archaeology, international relations, all the literature in the world, get a languages degree in italian, german, greek, latin, russian and french; learn how to play the violin and also piano, cello, guitar and the flute; learn how to sing, both modern singing and classical singing/opera; is my villain origin story.
my printer ran out of black ink so i ended up printing off fantasise impromptu in red ink. somehow that’s even more suitable!!!
it’s probably been said before, but i LOVE the feeling of typing on a laptop after practicing piano. it feels so easy to type so fast and i press the keys with so much force
Kind of gives you chills .
Good Lord, how delicious! I wanna do that! The next time I’m in a cathedral, I’m doing it.
As she stood inside an ancient and empty church in Montefrío, Spain, Malinda Kathleen Reese belted out one of the best Christmas carols of all time-“O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and the end result was just heavenly.
I’m obsessed with this because A. Victorian Christmas Carols B. European Cathedrals C. It’s gorgeous and fuckin choristers are my favorite
To those to need to hear it
You got a little extra free time? Go practice! But mel, I don’t have enough time to practice! A practice session doesn’t have to be these long hours in the practice room, drilling away at a piece or a ton of exercises! Go pick up your instrument or warm up your voice and just.. play. Even if it’s just for five minutes to run through a piece. Had a memory blank? Made a mistake? Circle it in your music and boom, you practiced. You got something done. PRACTICE DOESN’T HAVE TO BE HOURS WORTH OF WORK IT CAN LITERALLY BE FIVE MINUTES. FIVE MINUTES IS BETTER THAN NONE
actually obsessed with the London home of composer and pianist Muzio Clementi
day 1/? of practice
yesterday i did some metronome work for comptine d’un autre ete for the 21st bar onwards and managed to improve the rhythm for playing it!
i also worked on some more sight reading, i think i’m getting better but i for sure need to work on fluency
revised some more music theory too! mainly worked on modulation exercises
i’m still working on la campanella too, i can play the first 30 seconds right hand at reasonable speed but i’m working on combining the left hand too
