[sixty-silver-wishes]

everyone shut up this is ACTUALLY what fans of different composers are like

Mahlerians are PROUD TO BE ABSOLUTELY INSUFFERABLE DRAMA QUEENS, THE LIKES OF WHICH EVEN THE WAGNER CULT COULD NEVER SO MUCH AS ASPIRE TO BE. WE ARE ONE WITH THE UNYIELDING EBB AND FLOW OF THE BOUNDLESS UNIVERSE, DAMN IT ALL!

Shostakovich fans are like Mahler fans except they actually understand what sarcasm is. We also all really like the Muppets for some reason. Most of us own cats and likely have at least one mental illness.

Liszt fans are either tweenagers who love anime or salty old pianists who know a disturbing amount about music theory. These two factions are constantly at war.

Copland fans are either very, very far right or very, very far left. Either way, neither side actually listens to all of Copland's repertoire.

Tchaikovsky fans are either Russian grandmas or LGBT orchestra kids on Tiktok. Either those or the one noob who heard there were cannons once.

Wagner fans. Yes, there are the cringey neo-Nazi Wagnerians, but anti-Nazi Wagnerians are a whole new level of chaotic good. They spend their time dreaming up the most disastrous, chaotic Ring productions possible, with the sole purpose of making Richard Wagner's entire family simultaneously spin in their graves. They take "death of the author" to a whole new level and constantly run on nothing but 100% pure spite. You want a Wagnerian who would beat up Wagner in a Denny's parking lot on your side.

Prokofiev fans will unironically say "ackshually...". That's it.

Dvorak fans are homeschool kids. They're either soul-crushingly innocent or devastatingly horny.

Sousa fans are just high school band directors who try to convince themselves they like Sousa to get through the semester.

Joplin fans constantly argue over whether Joplin's music should be played twice as quickly or twice as slowly than it's actually written. Also sick of hearing about Janis.

Chopin fans are exactly like Liszt fans, except there are 20% more "uwu softboi flowercrown" edits of Chopin than Liszt floating around on Instagram and Tumblr.

Holst fans will drag you into an alleyway and beat you up with their bare hands if you so much as mention The Planets.

Bernstein fans are either horny theatre kids or communists, but it's more likely they're both at once. They are very opinionated about recordings, and express their approval of the ones they like by gyrating excessively to them. If you put a Bernstein fan, a Mahler fan, and a Shostakovich fan in one room, they will either topple a national government or have a threesome.

Ravel fans are inherently Wes Anderson fans. You can be friends with one for years without knowing a single thing about their personality.

Schoenberg fans are like Mahlerians but with worse memes.

Brahms fans are... I have never met a Brahms fan. I'm sure they exist, but I'm pretty sure my own taste in music scares them off.

Paganini fans are almost always TwoSet kids, particularly the ones who try to convince people that "classical music isn't boring because it's basically metal." If you tell them Paganini played viola, they will spontaneously combust.

Rachmaninov fans are ultimately really chill, but are often socially awkward. If you ask a Rachmaninov fan "how are you?", they will most likely respond with "you too."

Schumann fans are Mahlerians on medication.

Stravinsky fans think they're chaotic and unhinged and listen to the most obscure underground shit, but in all actuality they just decided to enter their edgy phase after a lifetime of being sheltered and forced to listen to nothing but Handel by their parents. Possibly homeschooled.

Ysaye fans are like Paganini fans, except they're depressed graduate music students with permanent calluses on their fingers.

Debussy fans go to art school, decide they don't like art school, but have been doing art school too long to turn back, so they can't get out of art school. They may be high on weed at any given moment.

Satie fans are just possessed vessels of Erik Satie. Death cannot hinder Erik Satie. Erik Satie will return to this mortal plane. Search your feelings. You are already Erik Satie.

OTD in Music History: Legendary composer and violin virtuoso Eugene Ysaye (1858 - 1931) marries his first wife in France in 1886. Ysaye might well have received one of the greatest wedding gifts in the history of music: On the morning of this wedding, important composer and pedagogue Cesar Franck (1922 - 1890) had a friend present Ysaye and his bride with the score to Franck’s freshly-composed Violin Sonata, which was also dedicated to Ysaye. The Franck Violin Sonata is arguably Franck’s single greatest masterpiece, and it is undoubtedly one of the most famous and beloved works of its kind ever written. The history of this Violin Sonata actually presents a rather intriguing mystery: Nearly 30 years earlier, in 1858, Franck had promised to compose a violin sonata for Franz Liszt’s (1811 – 1886) daughter, Cosima, on the occasion of her marriage to her first husband, famed concert pianist and conductor Hans von Bulow (1830 - 1894). This promised work never materialized – but the correspondence documenting this promise has long fueled speculation that whatever efforts Franck put towards that 1858 piece (if any) might well have ended up being incorporated into the 1886 Violin Sonata. Returning to Ysaye's wedding day, the story veers from charming to characteristic: A normal person would have graciously accepted this gift and then turned his attention back to his nuptials. But Ysaye was a born performer -- and so, after commandeering a pianist and conducting a hurried rehearsal, he instead privately premiered the Violin Sonata *at his own marriage celebration*. (His bride’s reaction to this turn of events was not recorded.) Ysaye publicly premiered the Violin Sonata at a concert in Brussels two months later, and his efforts to champion the work thereafter greatly contributed to increasing public recognition of Franck as a major composer. PICTURED: A c. 1910 real photo postcard showing Ysaye holding his violin.

All the Canons, All at once

I am always thinking about the vast Arthurian Mythos and its various traditions and canons. All of them being mutually exclusive to each other...

...Aaaand I can't help but want to smash them together like playdough. Its my favorite past-time as of late.

Like, don't tell me no-one has ever amused themselves of the fact that the Celtic Gods like Gwyn ap Nudd and Manawydan just hanging out in Arthur's court with Palamedes, Dubricius, Galahad and Nasciens.

Or my very favorite concept of Guinevere being a giantess AND a sorceress while also being Morgan the fairy's ex-girlfriend Best-friend-turned-Arch-nemesis. Nevermind what this means for Lancelot, Arthur, Galehaut, Meleagant and the other abductors.

Or the various children that's been given to every character, including Palamedes, Merlin and Tristan. Even Freaking Lancelot and Guinevere have children together. They even have a grandson in Gargantua.

You could literally have your own next-gen version of the Round Table, led by Amr, Loholt and Melora. Staffed by: Guingalain, Ysaye, Lohengrin, Brisan, Bronsidel, Melehan, Munsolinos, Amren, Garanwyn, Kelemon, Andronia, Florismarte, Pantagruel, Vanoc, etc.

And then Dragon Knight Branor, (From Uther's Generation of Round Table Knights) shows up and kicks their asses.

Number 21 for your ask game because I'm always in need of new music! 🥰

I'll share more than 3 because I'm still searching for the Ultimate Productive Playlist™ that can make me write for hours 😆

I'm more partial to instrumental music because I'm easily distracted and songs with lyrics do that to me. Recently I've been trying these YouTube music/covers playlist videos to see if they're effective enough. They make nice background music for relaxation!

Studio Ghibli ost jazz/bossa nova version

Piano covers for oldies music

Cello covers for movie ost/songs

City pop sound bgm

This channel plays some nice and nostalgic(?) piano tunes

More piano music with bonus dog content

I also found that piano covers of kdrama theme songs to be effective

Yiruma's piano pieces

Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi playlist

Bookstore adjacent piano jazz music

I also found that kdrama osts are great to listen to, especially if you're looking for a certain mood in writing fic (this goes for osts in general as well).

For songs with lyrics, I found these to work:

French songs

Coffee shop adjacent songs

Kpop songs that are soft and cute

J-city pop

For classical music, I listen mostly to violin concertos and sonatas. Here are some of my favorites:

Ysaye Violin Sonata D minor Ballade Op 27 No 3 performed by Chloe Chua

Four Seasons of Buenos Aires (Astor Piazzolla) piano trio version

Wieniawski Violin Concerto no 2 in D minor Op 22 performed by Bomsori Kim

Brahms Violin Concerto in D major Op 77 performed by Bomsori Kim

Astor Piazzolla Histoire du Tango performed by Chloe Chua and Kevin Loh

Not sure if I linked them all correctly. I tried to cover a broad selection, hope you'll like some of these! ☺️
