Dark Academia/Classical Music
-Chopin from a record player
-Any recording pre-1960-composers conducting their own symphonies-anything with that beautiful static
-Practicing in front of a window during a thunderstorm
-Practicing in the middle of the night
-Instruments abandoned and coated with dust, finally being played again
-Sheet music littered on the floor
-Fingers coated with rosin dust
-Slightly tattered tuxedos
-Empty concert halls after a performance with only the ghost light on
-Lugging a cello case through empty hallways backstage
-Annotating sheet music until the notes are barely visible
-Yellowed piano keys
-Practicing in an empty concert hall
-Scribbling notes for your audition on your wrist
-Single tear running down your face after a concerto performance
-Sneaking food into practice rooms
-Quotes in Latin on your instrument case
