Lyra’s really blowing up with these puns.

And here’s the 15 minute overture for you Tchaikovsky fans.

Planning to do a stream tomorrow around 1pm PDT, going to continue working on the illustration from last time. Hope to see you folks there.

Here’s a time zone translator for that. Many links tonight.

Descriptions of some composers

Beethoven: angry and described by this old book in like 1973 as a natural born antagonist. Good hair, yelled a lot,

Mozart: a little shit. No literally. He had a thing for poop. Check the wiki. Mozart and scatology. But he was a cool dood aside from that I guess, good at music and had a smirk like :V

Jean baptist Lully: I'm only including him here because I enjoyed his death, and yes I was there. He was stamping the beat, stabbed himself in the foot with the cane with which he was using, refused to get an amputation, and then got infected and died. Nerd.

Schubert: never got famous, wore neat glasses, had a cool group of friends. Died of syphilys Or however you spell that so at least he had some action???

Schumann: the physical embodiment of depression

Clara schumann: oh fuck bless her amazing all around genuine 10/10

Mendelssohn: pretty stable childhood, nice sideburns, fuckin love his music, wrote The Violin Concerto. Had depression I think

Fanny Mendelssohn: never got the right credit even thought her pieces are beautiful. Made fun of Felix Mendelssohns new name (bartholdy)

Brahams: grew up in a bad hooters. Helped Clara raise the kids and composed some Gucci shit

Tchaikovsky: gay sad gay sad gay sad oh look cannons gay sad death

Elgar: idk enough abt his personal life but love his music

Sibelius: I'm sad so I'm gonna hide in this forest and say I'm not composing but I totally am also here's a violin concerto

Liszt: I eat human hands for lunch

Chopin: sob while listening to my music

Shostakovich: Stalin is bad but at least I have a piglet so?? Everything's fine and the world premiere of my 7th symphony totally didn't have a dying orchestra playing it

I wrote it all rushed trying to get it to a friend so forgive me
