The only topic that ever gets any sort of hearty discussion within what remains of classical music Twitter is tonality vs. atonality. The discourse repeats word-for-word every few months. It’s fascinating to watch. Repetition compulsion.
I'm white-pilled on the future of classical music. I've been listening to a lot of things written in the 21st century recently and they are generally better and more enjoyable to listen to than many 20th century works. We're returning to tonality (I hope.)

To the Microsoft employees desperately trying to bring Outlook back online, please don’t push yourselves too hard. Your health matters more than any deadline. Take a long weekend, relax, and come back Monday feeling refreshed. You’ve worked hard enough this week, and I promise those 400 unread emails aren’t going anywhere.

Listening now to Domenico Scarlatti's exquisite piano sonata Adagio in A minor K.109 wonderfully played by Alexis Weissenberg in his 1985 Lp recording 'Scarlatti Sonatas'. Enjoy!

Dudley Moore’s Beethoven Sonata parody on Colonel Bogey March is 10,000x better music than anything an AI model has produced and he wasn’t even being serious. These tech losers are lower than cattle.

Lo que más me fascina de esto es la combinación del increíble logro técnico con el horrible resultado artístico
I asked Claude Fable 5.2 to write a Beethoven-style piano sonata movement in LilyPond. It wrote the score, recorded it, and made this video. Every note you see is from its source file.

Beethoven composed the Pathétique, but this sonata is merely pathetic.

Good morning. Have you seen this stunning sculpture of composer Gustav Mahler carved by August Rodin? It captures Mahler to a T.

This makes me want to be like the Indians who beat a transformer with sticks because it electrocuted a cow

Jupiter from The Planets suite finale on my at home pipe organ build! Today I got the diapason and string ranks installed. The orchestra woodwinds, brass, and strings are mapped to each physical rank. It sounds like I have an orchestra in my house!

“Le Rossignol en amour” (The Nightingale in Love) from François Couperin's “Pièces de clavecin,” played as an air for solo traverso.

Detail of my clay master for my sculpture, I AM. Enough study of the human form reveals more than an anatomy textbook. The muscles, tendons and bones can be mapped as to where they reside within the overall structure, but as energy creates movement, these elements move, overlap, bugle and recess in ways a chart of a flayed figure does not reveal. The hardness of the ribcage here is evident against the deftness of the muscles. The small muscle groups that encase the trunk sometimes show prominently and sometimes fall back into the mass and are so subtle that only a trained artist can decipher their existence. The key to rendering good figure work is to see it as it is, or might be, and resolve to never bore the eye of the viewer, even if that means taking liberties in order to support the entirety of the artwork.
