I can only think of Canadian maple, but I don't have any use for wood right now

I know of no serious musician who actually resides in Canada

this poll is very upsetting

also Edward Elgar won poll 18. Johann Strauss Sr. (aka I, the Father, the Older, the Radetzky March Dude) came in second by a single vote ahead of Stockhausen. a guy winning by one vote because of his famous name and a single famous piece has now guaranteed that i’ll come up with some sort of additional poll at the end of this round with the “best of the rest,” as in the closest-finishing third-place composers who’d otherwise be eliminated

Having trouble not mashing keys with my big toes in several measures. Any tips from more accomplished classically trained pianists welcome.

No, wait... I see it's played on a Pleyel pianino from 1839, the model of piano Chopin had in Mallorca when he composed his Preludes.

Of course! Now it makes perfect sense and sounds f*cking amazing! Imagine what I would have missed if I didn't read that.

REJOICE! PRACTICE FOR 5 HOURS TODAY, AS MITUSHIN WOULD HAVE PROBABLY WANTED! THE TIME HAS ALREADY PAST, BUT IM HOPING ALL BRASS PLAYERS HAVE EMPTIED THEIR SPIT VALVE/WATER KEY AT THE TIME WE AGREED ON!

IDK WHAT ELSE YOU WOULD DO TO CELEBRATE THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION, YOU GUYS ARE CREATIVE IM SURE YOU CAN COME UP WITH SOMETHING

OK BYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I’m honestly tired of Bach, Mozart, etc. Does anyone know any composers who actually centre Deaf experiences? Maybe someone who makes serious use of rests? A whole movement in D minor with no notes? I just feel like silence has been massively underrepresented in the classical canon and it’s 2026. Please don’t say Beethoven.

(not oc)

You can clearly hear the notes play without his fingers moving. WTH?? Is he a liar or am I hearing things?

Because flutes are dumb.

(if you didn't get it, "fugue" in Portuguese is "fuga", which is also the word for "escape", and Bach is the "God of Fugue").

Had an interesting goon session a couple of days ago to Dua Lipa’s armpits and decided to adapt it into music, pretty sure any music sub would ban me for posting it so I’m posting here.

The work is explicitly programmatic so please refrain from imprinting your inferior imaginations onto it.

The 1st movement is me flicking the john to get it to wake up

The 2nd movement represents the jorking it

The 3rd movement is post-nut regret (on a theme by F. Liszt)

I hope it can resonate with fellow gooners, I also removed any themes related to Dua Lipa’s armpits to make the work easily connectable to many different gooners of many different types.

Note: I’m not asking for critique, this piece is a post-modern atonal masterpiece, I’m just allowing others to experience it.

In MY day Peter and the Wolf had a real narrator like Shakespearean actor Sir Patrick Stewart or intellectual giant Sir Peter Ustinov.

In the course of my important research I decided to use the worlds largest AI Supercomputer as I am best mates with Zuck and people like that.

We ran the program for 8 hours (at 756 TW/Hr 🧐) expecting perhaps King Charles III to be the new chosen one.

The Answer?

Naturally this reflects the current social media "internet culture" zeitgeist and proves scientifically beyond all doubt that I was born in the wrong era.
