actuallygrimes:

i dont like concerts where the pre-show music is so loud no one can talk unless they shout awkwardly which probably isn’t very good for anyone’s hearing any way

all future grimes shows will be dj’d thusly

Grimes, you are aaallllllright in my books.

We can fight about Orientalism in Western Classical music another time.

Growing up I went to the Nutcracker every year because my sister was a dancer. I was always totally enraptured. I memorized the music. This one is one of my favourite dances.

Hindemith. Sonata for Viola and Piano Op. 11 no. 4 (1919).

I like this piece because it really doesn’t sound “Hindemith”y. Not that I mind Hindemith, he’s still pretty cool, but it’s easy for his later works to start all sounding the same to me. At no point does this one do that. Take a listen!

Tchaikovsky killed himself nine days after conducting the premiere of this, his 6th Symphony. It might be the bleakest finale I’ve ever heard.

If I could start over again, I would pick oboe, just to switch to English horn later, for this melody.
