At school.
In the closet.
Thats why we only have a few cello players at our school.

I have once had the privilege of meeting the man himself. I met him in a grocery store parking lot, and he was very sweet to me (at first). He offered me a cigarette and chatted me for awhile, though I can't recall any of the conversation due to the fact that he had a very peculiar stench. It was a mix of strawberries and toast, but if the toast had been drenched in raw egg and then run over by 4 trucks in a blizzard. I tried very hard to ignore this, as I am not one to judge, but it was such a strange smell that it was hard to focus on anything else. After awhile, he asked me if I had any spare bucket hats. I thought it was a very peculiar question, but I informed him that I did, in fact, just happen to have 22 in a bag beside me that I had just finished buying. I was originally planning to give them to the local old person's home, as I heard that it was a new trend amongst the elderly. But as soon as I told him this, he quickly took the bag and ran off. As he was running away, an abundance of papers flew out of his pockets. I tried to run and shout after him, not for the sake of my bucket hats but rather the papers he was losing, but he did not stop. I finally gave up and stopped to pick up the papers, when I discovered that the papers were the things eluding the strange stench, and written across the papers were music notes. Except the music notes were not in ordinary fashion at all, but where in fact jotted down all over the papers, with ink running across everywhere. Nothing was readable at all. I gasped, because I had never seen such a mess! I still have the papers stashed away in hope that I might meet the lad again, but I doubt I ever will, against my hopeful spirit. Oh well, maybe they're an old piece that was never released. I ought to keep onto them, I suppose. Though I still have not figured out why they have that potent stench.
This has been a subject of interest to me for years. I'm always interested what one composer has on his mind on some other (major) composer, and I could furnish the article with a lot of entries. Would it be appropriate to have such an article here?
So while playing the Turkish March (The Mozart one) it came to my mind that some of the parts marked as forte sounded louder even if played with the same force as the rest of the song due to the presence of chords and octaves and stuff, so I was wondering, are they supposed to be played:
As forcefully as other forte parts
More forcefully than piano parts but not quite as forcefully as other forte parts
As forcefully as normal playing since the chords increase the volume anyways
Any views on dynamics would be appreciated.
I'm new here. I play the piano. The end.
I play violin, I don't think I'm very good at it. But I love it either way!
I’m new not-very-musical user and yeah idk why I’m here but as long as I’m at it can someone explain the purpose of 4’33” to me?
Why is it that sometimes notes are written like this (the ones circled in red)?
I play the saxophone and the piano(But I'm not sure I'm too good at either one lololol

For piano players-
When you play piano, do you have the urge to go really fast when the real speed is just allegro? Like really really fast? Like, not with really fast songs like, Solfeggietto, and Rondo alla Turka, and Moonlight Sonata (the 3rd part thingy). But, I need to slow down because I am learning to play Clair de Lune.
