my hand slipped

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

The Ultimate Battle Begins

Verdi is armed and dangerous

Verdi is scaring me

didn’t really expect Vaughan-Williams to make it to the end of this

of course he would

Gershwin please there’s a battle going on

THERE’S A BATTLE GOING ON GUYS

looks like a pretty rough night. 

BACH’S OKAY NOW

Verdi is Love and Hate

Bach continues his descent into violence. Verdi proves himself a cunning and dangerous foe

A Titan Falls

From the darkness appears a victor at last

what a wild ride

This is this entire fandom in a nutshell

Classical Pieces You've Probably Heard but Might Not Remember the Name

Add others if you want! Have fun!

leave the name of your instrument in the tags!

okay tumblr I need you to help me with an experiment

my hypothesis is that musicians give their instruments really terrible names and I need to know how accurate this is

please help me

for science

I love how every musician knows exactly what this is and what it means

I hate this

I haven’t properly played my flute in two years and I still understand this

I love how this is still circulating, and that it’s not just musicians that reblog this. 90% of children had to endure this torture

I just sung it in my head and now I’m consumed with rage

@jokes-explained ??

it’s the musical notes for the song “hot cross buns” which is a very easy song for beginner musicians.

We had to play this on the recorder in Year 2. As a class. In canon :(
