sometimes it’s annoying when your character can’t jump in a video game but how often do you jump in real life?

[questions-within-questions]

“Do you even remember the last time you jumped?” is a question I never anticipated leaving me feeling so hollow and terrified.

[omg-horns]

JUST WATCH IT OK

[shmuringg]

Holt shit

[omg-horns]

YES

[eatsthomas]

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….

[maxopferkuch]

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

okay get this: perfumes with the names of classical pieces

[that-twink-composer]

I can already smell Claire de Lune. And Vivaldi’s Seasons. And all of the Schoenberg scents are a bunch of smells you would never think of putting together but it actually works

[sapphopiano]

4'33" is just water in a perfume bottle

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.

when you’re excited as shit about music

[trumpetangst]

When someone tries to jazz up classical music and it’s 100% unappropriate

[gottabeastringplayer]

read; that one time one of my classmates played a Mozart concerto on an electric violin.

[melthehoneybee]

My aesthetic tbh

[untamed-slander-deactivated2025]

I hate when people think they can just waltz into my room when I’m obviously listening to music in 4/4. 

[pianosnippets-blog]

When you let the accompanist know you are ready to begin. 

[animatostrings]
