In case anyone is baffled by this, there’s a Tchaikovsky piece in which there’s supposed to be a loud sound but he never specified what you should use to make that sound. People have done all kinds of weird shit depending on how they think the sound should, well, sound. Hitting a large piece of wood with a sledgehammer is a relatively conventional one.

You are thinking of Mahler. I did the cannons.

Tchaikovsky’s Serenade for Strings in C major, Movement III

[taxlesstitties]

what the FUCK was Tchaikovsky thinking when he wrote the pas de deux for the sugar plum fairy????dude wrote that first buildup and then he fucking edges you with some fakeout crescendo that sounds absolutely amazing. then boom, you think he's going in for his big finish, he's got that second moment where all the instruments are coming together and it sounds otherworldly but he's like WAIT hoes I ain't even finished yet. then BOOM he hits you with the most magical, transcendent, beautiful fucking note change after that third buildup and MY GOD!!!! it's just too good. Tchaikovsky, that absolutely madman. I know the Russians were tripping the fuck out in the ballet when he dropped this. just,,MUAH perfection!!!

If you thought that my dad and I did not saw the head off a ballerina ornament and put a Santa head in its place, that I did not remove his hat and trim his beard and paint his hair, that my mom did not sew a tiny velvet jacket onto him, if you thought that we do not have a dainty tutu’d Tchaikovsky on our Christmas tree, you were dead wrong, here he is

The tumblr classical music fandom always seems to have a problem with how various people spell Tchaikovsky, and for that reason I present to you the Library of Congress’s list of recognized spelling variants:
