Frothy piece on editing in classical music...

Also, I am all for editing. Not that I notice when it's done most of the time, but I do recall being startled by the occasional clanger when attending actual concerts. Surely, some pressure must be taken off musicians when they know that bum notes will be taken care of at the production stage. Then there are the acoustics, which are suboptimal in some venues.

Visual discontinuities are a great source of amusement to me. Watching a conductor wearing a dark purple cummerbund comes to mind. Three seconds later it was laurel green and a few seconds after that it reverted to purple. Or the time the second cello's three-day stubble shrank to a two-day stubble and was clean-shaven before the end of the movement. Or when the fat bassoon sat to the left of the skinny one, and then to the right. Or when the second viola wore a pearl necklace one moment and none the next. Some musicians even manage to change their entire wardrobe in an instant. None of that annoys me in the least. It just means a better instance of music being performed has replaced an inferior one.

ETA: Oh, and I am pleased that I did better than the two experts in the real instrument vs. VST quiz. Despite listening via cheap Logitech Z263 speakers I only got one pairing wrong.

Not sure if I like the Busoni transcriptions, but the performance is excellent...

Food for thought.

@6:35 "you could show up how cultured you were" draws a wedge of cheese

I also like how he segues into an ad for Skillshare at the 14 minute mark and follows it up with the usual begging for subscriptiions and money via Patreon.

I don't "get" string quartets, especially not Beethoven. I can tolerate nearly all baroque works for strings only.

Almost every scherzo is the same schertzo to me.
