"Many composers died before hearing their last symphony."

Beethoven: I've never heard like half of mine.

I'm imagining a bunch of classical musicians are all sitting around a bonfire and this duo is telling all the stories for the night

[angkhangnguyen]

the biggest conspiracies are:
who is ling ling
who is editor-san
when is sibelius drop

I like to imagine that Beethoven was very salty because he didn’t get to finish his 10th symphony so after he died he decided to screw all the other composers over

[beyla]

cats died after the 9th live
composers died after the 9th symphonies.


my theory is they were cats.

[QuantuMyre]

I want shirts that say "Warning: 9th Symphony Approaching"

12:32 "why burn it"

Tchaikosky was forced to choose between:
a.) a suicide and a state funeral, his reputation intact or
b.) a court case, public humiliation for him and his family, and jail time for his then-illegal homosexuality.
This is confirmed by the fact that he was given a state funeral with an open casket which the public were permitted to queue and view. THAT would NOT have been permitted IF he HAD died of cholera, as open-casket viewing of Tchaikovsky's corpse was NOT in accordance with official regulations for victims of cholera AT THAT TIME!!! Regulations in Russia at that time stipulated that if someone died of cholera their corpse was to be immediately removed from the scene of death in a closed coffin. Yet, Tchaikovsky's body was displayed in the flat in which he died and the flat freely opened to visitors wishing to pay their last respects. Among those who visited was friend and composer Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, who wrote about the inconsistency with regulations:
"How strange that, although death had resulted from cholera, still admission to the Mass for the dead was free to all! I remember how [Alexander] Verzhbilovich [a cellist and professor at the St. Petersburg Conservatory], totally drunk ... kept kissing the deceased man's head and face." Curiously this passage was edited out of Rimsky-Korsakov's autobiography.
Another friend Sergei Diaghilev also visited the flat directly after Tchaikovsky’s demise and wrote that the corpse was not in bed — as would be expected of someone dying slowly over days from cholera:
“In despair I rushed out of the house, and although I had heard Tchaikovsky had died of cholera I made straight for Malaya Morskaya, where he lived. The doors were wide open and there was no one to be found... I heard voices from another room, and on entering I saw Pyotr Ilyich in a black morning coat stretched on a sofa. Rimsky-Korsakov and the singer Nikolay Figner were arranging a table to put him on. We lifted the body of Tchaikovsky, myself holding the feet, and laid it on the table.”

"Tchaikovsky is gay"
"He is in love with his nephew"

Lowkey feel like so many more people would listen to classical music if they heard all of this juicy conspiracy theories and dramatic lives of composers behind the pieces.

People: the quarantine won’t last long

Quarantine: Sibelius 8th symphony

[Jay-S]

We need a series called Storytime With Twoset

[elisenguyen]

Maybe Beethoven wasn't deaf; he could've just been really good at ignoring everyone with a straight face

Would be glad to have a second part to this video. I love hearing about my fellow colleagues.

Something that makes Mozart's Requiem even more sad is that towards his final days, Mozart was so out of his mind with fever that he believed he was writing his own funeral mass. And when the parts that he had finished were sung back to him, he reportedly broke down crying and died a few hours later.

Eddy: “Each variation is written for a different friend so it’s like coding your friends personalities into music”

Me: oh that’s so swee-

Eddy: “what a nerd”

😂😂😂

[sahoaho]

"mozart himself thinks he got poisoned"

and that's on dramatic personality

[beni]

I'm surprised they didn't mention the supposed story behind the making of Fur Elise by Beethoven. Supposedly, he composed the piece for a piano student of his who he was in love with. He purposefully made the piece easy to play because she was a novice. Anyway, during the creation of the piece, he found out that the student was actually engaged and in his anger, he made the middle to ending of the piece significantly more difficult to play.
