@fox_news i'm not going to do the whole thing but i mean guessing "foxily" is kind of obligatory

@ziphi both are good but kinda appreciate program music a bit more?? maybe/? hard to say
-F

@sharkNserg better solution

@ziphi The viola section and *especailly* the contrabass always get forgotten

we played viola in that orchestra because there were like 15 violinists, 2 cellists, one bassist, and only one other violist and that felt really imbalanced, and we didn't want to do bass because that thing's huge, don't want to lug that to school every day

@ziphi it's very much program music, meant to evoke a feeling of a relaxing boat ride down the river Vltava (also known as the Moldau) and seeing the central european countryside and towns pass by

we learned about it when the high school string orchestra we were in played an arrangement/excerpt of it and it's just... well in addition to being really nice to listen to it's also really fun to play, one of the few pieces that actually bothers to give interesting roles to the viola too
-F

@ziphi oh i meant to link you this and forgot, so unless you've found it elsewhere this is a pretty good performance of the piece! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6kqu2mk-Kw

@ziphi Stravinsky is always good.

For another good tune, have you ever heard Smetana's Vltava?
-F

@sharkNserg relatable sign

@ziphi I like it! It's hard to pick out the rhythm, but doesn't feel like just a random jumble of notes or anything
-F

@ziphi that sounds like a really neat rhythm! we're bad at feeling a rhythm from just reading the sheet music though, would have to hear it to understand it

@ziphi we've never played through all of mother 3 (the story got too dark and we just couldn't, iwrc, but that was years ago) but we know the gist of the story and yeah
-F

@ziphi mother 3 had good reason to go to ridiculous time signatures though, because a mechanic in the game is that you can get up to sixteen hit combos when you attack by pressing A in time with the music, and they made it harder for boss battles
