My wise take on that shirt is bob dylan needs to be closer to no sex and the Coltranes need to be the pinnacle of sex 😌

Okay for an extremely limited amount of time I'll take submissions for mystery symphony clips. If you're interested, here's what you need to send me:

YouTube SCORE video of the piece (to make my life easier)

Specific timestamp range you want the mystery clip to be (max about 30 sec)

What instrument you want to focus in on, if applicable

Other symphonies that you think would be reasonable false options (to make my life easier)

Notes:

It's gotta be a symphony. We're symphonybracket people.

If a symphony doesn't have a youtube score video, we can still talk later, I just want to start with easy ones.

If you think the score of a piece would give it away (e.g. mahler symphonies and the long ass german notes) then we can omit score.

Okay while we are posting our favorite horn moments, this is one of my very top favorites from the beginning of the second part of Mahler 8. Mahler 8 in general is such a great example of how when you want warm gentleness, you call the horns in, when you want pure power, you call the horns in, when you want something so sexy people fall flat on their face you call the horns in!!!!!

Hi Cor ^_^ I really love this horn part in the finale of Mahler 3! It sounds so marvelous, when I listen to this part I imagine Mahler standing in front of me, grabbing my shoulders and shaking them, and telling me earnestly: "Love will prevail! Love will prevail!"

I LOVE this part too!!! I love it when the horn gets the moving part when most everyone else is held!! i found out when going searching for this part in the score that it's also doubled in viola/cello!! horn pairs so nicely with lower string sounds :)

I was actually able to see this piece in person just last weekend and it totally changed my perspective on the piece (as it always does!!!) and gave me a lot more appreciation for low horn.

this part seriously does feel so special ^^ ty for sharing!!
