Did I ever tell you guys about the time I dressed up as Mozart for a fancy dress competition thing at my primary school?

Because that happened

Throwback to when I did Shostakovich’s 4th String Quartet last year

Destroy the idea that classical music is not for casual players or listeners. You don’t have to completely devote your life to something you love to love it.

Hi my name is Eleanor fun fact last fall I accidentally drove over my viola (pls don't even ask) and now my local music store recognizes me as that girl who ran over her viola and now I'm in a relationship with the manager and he's afraid to tell the owners who his girlfriend is for fear of being made fun of

Well that was a wild ride from start to finish

This was recorded by the Portsmouth Sinfonia in an experiment where all the members of the orchestra would swap instruments with each other and attempt to play them to the best of their ability.

favorite things about this

literally all the brass starts to get the hang of it and then the crescendos happen and everyone is like FUCK FUCK FUCK??? FUCK. JUST. BLOW RLY HARD.

the strings are lazy but also the same. like u can tell a lot of the ppl w/ the stringed instruments may already basically know how to play stringed instruments. like there’s definitely a section at the beginning where you hear a good portion going “oh yeah this is like. a smaller/bigger version of what i do.”

all you hear of any woodwinds is just “pffffttt??? pFFFTTTT???? PFFFFFTTTT I SAID PFFFFTTTT!!!!!” bc woodwinds are fucking HARD and you hear after like the first crescendo half of them just give up. they give up. they’re done. fuck this it tastes weird and my lips hurt.

that trumpet. that person is fucking TRYING man they fucking GOT this. they may not have figured out notes but they figured out LOUD and they GOT this.
