when you listen to classical music and hear the breath of the person playing

Produced, filmed and featured in a silly lil "(Un)hlepful Guide to Classical Music" for all my k-pop loving besties who are open to learning more about classical music.
Inspired by Cunk on Earth (& Between Two Ferns thanks to all the shade my friends threw at me).

I adore this recent trend (if that's the right word) of letting an orchestra play classical music on a festival. It's magical to see thousands of festival-goers going absolutely wild on Beethoven. Mosh/circlepits, crowd surfing. It's wonderful to see the orchestra and the audience having the time of their lives.

together even on a postage stamp
There’s nothing suspicious about appearing alongside your friend and colleague on a postage stamp!
It’s a commemorative stamp for @franzliszt-official’s 150th birthday. And one should always celebrate their birthday with their friends, even on a stamp.
See, another was made with Franz and @berliozussy-official. Although obviously mine cost more because it’s me.
Sure. Now kiss me on the mouth, both of you

For fun; what is your favorite form/genre?
results are in, Symphony got number 1 (not too surprising), followed by Concertos and then to my actual surprise, Fugues got in no.3!

the more i study music, the less i understand the whole "music is math".
if you follow the history of music (i'm speaking about western music of course because i'm trained in it) none of the music was strictly based in math. it always has been mainly acoustic, philosophical or practical reasons behind all the turning points. the math always comes later to explain phenomena rather than preceding them. the most famous "music is math" example is bach, but bach's music is based much more on symmetry as a philosophical concept than "number-y" math. the ancient greeks and medieval musicians used mathematical proportions in music because they believed they had a mystical quality, not because of pure math, and even then, music rythms and accents flowed from the spoken language, it wasn't a mathematical order. the gradual shift from free rythms to the periodical return of the thesis (the creation of bars basically) was because of a need for symmetry and reassurance, it stemmed from a cultural shift, not from a mathematical need for organization. the division of the octave in 12 is based on the practicality of expanding tonal functions and therefore expanding the harmonic language, not on math, because in the "real" mathematical description of sounds c sharp is not equal to d flat. even bartok, who heavily uses golden ratio proportions, starts and ends from folk music.
the evolution of western music does get to a point where people use "number-y" math to make music, but you get two instances:
- serialism (not just the twelve-tones technique, but the full structuralist meaning): famously "structures" by boulez. it is completely made by assigning numbers to every musical parameter and by automating the process. boulez said that it was made as a utopic concept: he wanted to write something that was nearly impossible to play reliably by humans, as a benchmark of what humans can or can't make. he also said it's unlistenable (meaning the human brain doesn't really know what to make of it since the ways in which the brain understands things can't be applied). so by his own admission, if we take "listenable" as a prerequisite of music, it's not music anymore. moreover, even if you consider it music, you still have to confront the reality that this piece was made around the philosophy of it all, not around the math. the math is still a tool
- composers that use math as a tool: meaning ligeti and xenakis for example. they use complex mathematical models to represent the processes they want the parameters in their music to undergo. it's merely a tool, not the aesthetic sum behind the pieces. more often than not the aesthetic principles behind their music are objects, feelings or specific timbres of the instruments they're composing for.
math can for sure describe the quantitative quality of nearly everything. but i never hear people say "a tv show is math", "a poem is math", "pottery is math", "knitting is math", "painting and drawing is math". that sounds stupid. so why should music be math? music is processed in the same brain area than language, which is a different area than math. so?

Zobaczyłam tagi @widevibratobitch pod tym postem i nie mogłam się powstrzymać lol
"Ferenc, would you eat pierogi with me?"
"Of course, Frederyk; what are they filled with?"
"Love"
Love for pierogi, not Franz.
Shut the fuck up
