I lost 20 followers in my 3 month absence, so I created this art to express my grief—Robert Schumann
what if the classical music fandom was just as harsh as the other music fandoms usually are
“Ugh, that girl’s wearing a Vivaldi shirt. What a poser, I bet she only knows The Four Seasons”

A question for my theorists!
what? what sounds good to you? write that.
In sonata from. When writing the exposition. Say I wrote two contrasting expositions after the introduction. Do I develop on both or the last one?

It’s ok dude! happens all the time, doesn’t ruffle my feathers. keep on keepin on!
Schubert: Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano in A minor D.821 - I. Allegro moderato (12:08)
— Klaus Storck played an arpeggione & Alfons Kontarsky played a fortepiano
this is the version played on arpeggione that i’ve heard which is closest to not sucking. it’s kinda boring though, and the vibrato is mad awkward any other suggestions, by chance?
OK, OK, OK
I confess, I concede:
Mozart is the greatest.

This is what Mozart actually looks like. The image was found in a radio station in Belgium. Fact - the Moors (Black people) brought Classical Music to Europe.
You’re welcome.
Not only that but when you read the REAL bios of him, he’s described as having brown skin, “negroid features” (broad, wide nose, etc) and wiry hair. There was a post going around back in February that was very enlightening.
Wasn’t Beethoven part Moor (Black) too? There was a book written about his hair because Europeans were so transfixed with it!
Beethoven was ALL Moor lol
someone explain to me how much of the previous reblogs were jk and i will shed some light here -lvb
…
ok bored waiting for that to happen.
here’s whats up
mozart wasn’t black, obviously
that’s mozart’s super black dad
thats his really black mom
2 sources of potential confusion here
well, 3, one being that really compelling photo the OP posted^ which clearly isn’t watermarked or anything
the second is references floating around to “the black mozart,” an awesome violin prodigy contemporary with wolfgang am. but that was chevy st george and not wolfgang at all
the third cause of confusion is that i was, like, probably sorta black. or at least swarthy and kinky haired. ok maybe not totally black but those “moorish negroid” quotes someone referenced up there were referring to me and there’s an active quasi-conspiracy theory going on about it
one compelling argument is this image, which is supposed to be a super good likeness of me… portraits are so confused that i hardly even remember what i look like, but, i dunno, does this look like a white guy to you?
yo, i don’t know. it’s all good
incidentally, i don’t mind being confused with mozart now and then, but i don’t think he’d appreciate being interchangeable with me
classical composers aren’t just interchangeable
our music is pretty frickin different. also personalities, looks, lives, etc. they both involved piano and vienna and becoming really famous and that’s it. i guess mozart has to deal with the “moonlight sonata” tag a lot less, but for some reason pachelbel’s canon gets attributed to him a lot more often than to me. i do not envy that for sure
also for real how many of these 12k reblogs actually thought that was a picture of mozart found at a radio station. smh
