Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

Turn stone to bread right away...

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 :lol:

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. :hehe:

As for me, I stick to Bach, several of them, ackshully

and Woofles Mozart

and van the man Beethoven

and George Telemann

and Johnny Gabrieli

and Pink Floyd

and Nina Hagen

and Harry Partch

and Elena Kats-Chernin

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.
