Yeah, I’ve read the sheets, and yeah, I know there’s no ritardando marking at the end of that arpeggio madness, but 1, artistic freedom, 2, I can’t feel my hands, 3, I can most certainly feel my forearms and they are screaming, 4, I’m a solo instrumentalist so who’s gonna stop me, and 5, fuck you

♡ Marie Antoinette had a special affection for music and the arts in general, in which she offered patronage to. According to the Première femme de Chambre, Madame Campan, “music was the accomplishment in which the Queen most delighted. She did not play well on any instrument, but she had become able to read at sight like a first-rate professor.” Marie’s personal library contained plenty of music books, from sonatas, operas and harpsichord music, in which case was one of her favourite instruments to play alongside the harp. ♡

JUST WATCH IT OK

I am scared and confused.

I love this….those kids are geniuses…and do they actually know how to play/tongue/bow the instrument they were playing in that video? Not doubting them or anything it just looked like they swapped instruments….

Ok, as the person in the blue shirt on the left, I can explain what is going on here.

On the far left, you see a clarinetist playing a broken cello. She does not know how to play the cello. (Nor does that cello have any intention of being played.)

My friend and I are collectively playing a frankenstein of an instrument that I like to call the “Eb bassooninet.” It’s an Eb clarinet with a bassoon bocal attached. It sounds like a dying duck.

The bassoonist in the middle is the only one playing a normal instrument normally.

Second from the right, you see a clarinetist playing half a clarinet.

Finally, on the far right you see a clarinetist playing a Bb clarinet that is pulled out so far at every joint that it approximates an A clarinet.

The best part about this video is that everyone is actually a really accomplished musician, not that you’d guess it xD

au contraire, this is the kind of thing ONLY accomplished musicians are fucking weird enough to come up with

Augusta Holmès’ compositions won awards and acclaim from admirers including Liszt and Saint-Saëns, so why is she, and so many of her female contemporaries, all but forgotten today?
