#A Little Night Music (Eine Kleine Nachtmusik)

Saturday, July 6, 2024

All of my new school supplies came in today! It was actually only the calculator and the erasable gel pens, which I really love! Thank you to whoever it was that recommended them to me several months ago! I also love the new calculator, except the manual is in Chinese. I'm sure I can figure it out, but if not, Dad can also read it fluently, so I can ask him if I get stuck on how to change modes or whatever.

I will be heading to my environmental science camp after church tomorrow, so I will be gone again until at least Friday. More than likely, like last time, I will post on Saturday since I am sure I will be tired after unpacking and studying a little.

I have one week of work left of the theory course I am taking. Thus far it has been interesting. I love all of the analyses that the professor does. I struggle with that still. My piano teacher is glad that I've started studying for the harmony and counterpoint exam already. It is going to be a tough one!

We had a lot of fun out on the lake today. We took the boat out, and while Dad and Julien did some fishing, Mom and I enjoyed lying out (with lots and lots of sunscreen). I also went swimming at the beach and went waterskiing with some friends we met up with out there. I'm getting better at it!

It's past my bedtime, but I was up until midnight on the 4th. The fireworks got over around 10pm but then there was traffic and the drive back home, and I needed to shower after being out in the sun during the day and around a lot of people. The fireworks were beautiful over the water, and we had a lot of fun at the concerts before the fireworks. I also got queso asado street tacos for dinner! They were so good! I love food trucks when we're in the main city for fun events like this. They always have something yummy.

Good night everyone! Have a great next week, and I will update again probably on Saturday! 🌱🌞

Eine kleine Nachtmusik эльфа

A Little night music of elf

[abwwia]

Dorothea Tanning, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music), 1943, oil on canvas. | tate, acquired with the support of the art fund and the american fund for the tate gallery, 1997

Knowledge is knowing that the title of Mozart’s famous chamber ensemble, “Eine kleine Nachtmusik,” translates to “a little night music” in English. Wisdom is understanding that you’ll be left on read if a friend texts you about how their dog kept them up all night making “yakking” sounds and you reply “Eine kleine Yaktmusik.”

[theresa-of-liechtenstein]

did not, in fact, get the rest of the movements of the original piece before the end of term. did, in fact, get buzzed by a camera drone, show my gratitude to my conductor for the past term in the most truly cringeworthy way, and discover that the quartet has an affinity for mozart

the (complete) new movement we read is accompaniment for a song with a lot of pop rhythms and a modulation into a new key. but the funniest thing is that i swear to god it sounds like old school opm. i couldn’t describe how for the life of me. but i know my dad will start making up words to it when i practice at home.

other modern piece comments:

‘you are a ruminating beast from siberia, and we all know that’s how they are’

‘the spirit is willing but the notes are wrong.’

me: ‘wait, there are catholics in this?!’

honestly though the real star of rehearsal was the brief interlude in which we were videotaped playing the finale to haydn 104 for inclusion in a promotional video for the college of humanities and arts via, of all things, a small camera drone.

tita conductor to the drone operator: ‘and let us know when you are ready… to fly!’

also tita conductor to the drone operator: ‘will you please try not to chop my head off?’

something about the presence of the camera got her hamming it up it was SOO FUNNY 💀💀💀 she did a little hair flip before we all prepared to play. and when the drone came whizzing around the strings she was cuing me like she’d NEVER cued me before. like girl was just like. 🫵🏻😳

you did not make eye contact with me like this and point for that One measure during the concert 🤨

during the drone’s first pass through the room the breeze knocked the associate concertmaster’s part off the stand and i managed to nudge it back over to the firsts with my foot without looking off of my music 😭 i hope it was the right way around

i was actually grinning through the whole thing for once, mostly because i thought it was the funniest shit that i’d ever been put through in this orchestra

we then recorded an audio-only version of the finale and i really just told myself to let go and have fun with it. then tita conductor waited for the audio person to lower the mic before joking brightly, ‘okay! let’s do it all again!’

(we did not. thank god because i was tired.)

now remember how i’ve had a little affirmation/reminder to self stuck onto the top of my folder so i will always see it when looking over the stand? at the beginning of the school year it was ‘huwag kang matakot’ (don’t be afraid) but around january when i was going through a bout of imposter feelings i changed it to ‘magtiwala sa kanya’ (trust her)

tita conductor asked everyone to turn in their folders on impulse and i collected everyone’s but didnt realize id forgotten to do anything with the note to self so (equally impulsively) i wrote ‘thank you for this term’ on the note, stuck it to the front, and handed it in to her with the other folders and a brief explanation.

it was cringe of me lol. but she’s really done a lot. im so grateful. and she was touched.

then she lowkey forgot to open the usual classroom for me and the quartet so i had to go back and ask again and she told me ‘my mind is like a sieve. you have to remember to hold on to me.’ girl please lmao?

anyways we closed the night reading through eine kleine nachtmusik together. which we sound pretty great at considering we were reading. i wish id recorded it

and there ends another term with orchestra. it was a good one. one more for the year (and possibly ever with this group.) can’t wait to make the most of it :)

Zombies Run S3M28 A Little Night Music

I should have listened to Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik for this run. Would have been better than the upbeat pop stuff I was playing. Ran only 1.6km because I went with a few colleagues from work who were more keen on walking. I didn't mind it. It was a beautiful day in DC.

Spoilers after the image below:

This is an AI-generated image of a woman running, supposedly away from rats.

I really liked this mission. It had just enough creepiness, horror, madness, and mystery to keep me interested in the story. This is the first mission in a while where I didn't feel like there was pressure to pay attention to anyone's personal feelings or backstories. It was just a simple assignment where I had to figure out what was happening and get out as quickly as possible.

I feel bad for Abel later on having to go through the rescue mission at Comansys on their own, though. I hope it won't end badly.

The zombie repellent is made of Veronica's flowers, right? I am guessing the same ones that turned Paula crazy in the last mission. Well, I don't know what Veronica is up to, but someone's gotta watch her. And why were the rats attracted to the zombies or the blue flower scent? Why did they attack Steffie? I don't know. This is too weird.

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik

It is, of course, one of the most powerful, masterful, and best-known pieces of music ever written. Mozart completed the “little serenade” in Vienna in 1787, but it wasn’t published until 1827, long after Mozart’s untimely death. The Serenade is incorrectly translated into English as “A Little Night Music”. But this is and always has been the way I prefer to think of it. A creation of Mozart…

Music History Today: January 27, 2023

January 27, 1756: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is born in Salzburg, Austria. Over the years, Mozart composed hundreds of works that included sonatas, symphonies, masses, chamber music, concertos, and operas. One of those numbers was "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik," German for "a little night music."

The serenade was completed in Vienna on August 10, 1787. It's not known why it was composed. Most of Mozart's serenades were written on commission. Perhaps such was the case with this song, whose origin and first performance was not recorded.

[hunty627]

I love Eine kleine Nachtmusik, which is German for a little night music. It’s written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

do you see lukadrino as 3 boyfriends, luka and nino fighting over adrien, or adrien being mirac team's free pass

If I were writing a Lukadrino story, I think it would start with everyone as friends, but, then, as Luka and Nino realize that they both have feelings for Adrien, things get a little competitive and heated until they decide that they need to share because they don’t want to lose their friendship with each other or mess things up for Adrien by making things awkward and bitter. So Luka and Nino both end up dating Adrien while their relationship with each other becomes more queerplatonic in nature.

But, you know, I can see it all three ways, actually.

In my Springtime in Wonderland series, Nino and Luka are fighting because of Adrien. Nino thinks that Luka is bad for Adrien because Luka is currently dating Marinette (with whom Adrien is in love) while also (in Nino’s mind) leading Adrien on, so Nino is an enraged mama bear hell bent on protecting Adrien from Luka. Their confrontation scene is in Chapter Twenty-One of Nachtmusik.

I’ve also written Nino and Luka as partners in taking care of Adrien in To Waltz Among Shades, most notably in Chapter Seven. I think they would make a great team because they’re both chill and mature. They both have a protective older brother nature, and I think they’d get along well.

And then I headcanon Adrien as asexual and ship him with everyone, so I can see him as the whole team’s free pass as well. I imagine he gets snuggled and loved on by everyone because that’s what he deserves.

Thanks so much for the ask! ^o^

I was curious how Swallowtail (Adrien with the butterfly miraculous) would look with blond hair. I thought it would work, since he has gold trim (instead of silver… I thought about it but it seemed like his look would be too cold with silver) and the yellow spots on the back of his wings. That was inspired by the pipevine swallowtail butterfly (the butterfly Mikau linked in the chapter)’s wings, by the way, though I put them on the top part of the wing instead of the bottom. Since Mikau described his little ear hoops as being silver, I’m guessing she imagined the metal trim on the boots and hat to be silver, too. (Is that right @mikauzoran?) He would look good with black leather and silver fittings instead of brown and gold. Still, I sort of liked the touch of warm color in his costume instead of being all silver and blue. ^_^;; Not that there’s anything wrong with silver and blue. Anyway, I sort of like this version with the blond hair. I love Adrien’s blond hair. :P – Again, this is (a deviation of) Swallowtail from @mikauzoran‘s A Little Night Music (Eine Kleine Nachtmusik), making his appearance in Chapter Twelve: Lost Woods. The original had black hair, which I’ve rendered here. @pawsomelybuggy also drew a lovely rendition here (with silver trim ^_~).

[did-i-fucking-stutter]

My mom, upon learning that Eine Kleine Nachtmusik was played at her aunt's wedding: I thought that song was played at funerals???

Me, silent with crippling indecision:

Ave Maria was her wedding march, for reference

[herbrokenmelodies]

The night thus far had been truly enchanting for Himiko. She was naturally within her element. People, parties and alcohol. Slowly taking in a mental note that a Masquerade could be a fun theme night at the Abyss, yet maybe she would make it something a little darker, sexier that would fit the vibe of Abyss, compared to this more sophisticated events. Not to say the Abyss wasn't sophisticated, just the Abyss would have a more upbeat tempo compared to Mozart's Serenade No.13 in G Major or formally known as "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" , yes Himiko knew classical music, move along. And the themes were slowly starting to build themselves: sinners and saints or maybe even angles or demons. Just something dark and sexy.

Speaking of sexy, apart from her fine self, obviously, someone caught her attention at the bar. She was starting to feel slightly parched. She excused herself from the drags she had been politely nodding too. A perfectly good waste of five minutes of her life that felt like an eternity, she made her way over to the bar. The closer she had got, she already knew who the mysterious barkeep was. To her, his mask has concealed not a single thing, partly since they both has a little rendezvous early. However, his shirt, his shirt had concealed a lot of things. It did not harm her looking over the artwork that adorned his very well looked after body. Himiko had an eye for detail taking everything in with certain people. The way that his sleeves were rolled up too, really, really helped to elevate the whole look.

Himiko walks over like she is some model on a catwalk for people to admire. She didn't look this good for it to be wasted tonight. Only wasted she need was the alcohol in her body. She playful leans against the bar, "Now this," she points her hand fan over him,"Now this isn't a bad look at all. Kinda hot, not gonna lie. Might even make my top ten for tonight," She compliments him,"Didn't even know you knew how to bar tend, I see a future role for you at Abyss."

Even though, he was looking even better than before, the closer she got the more she noticed how the buttons had been pulled. She had seen the before and after which was looking pretty rough. She wasn't gonna pry and ask questions. Drama was a natural element in the air tonight and he seemed to take quite a few hits with it. So here Himiko was to be an utter delight of fun for his night. A little idea for some fun.

"Hmm you know what?" Himiko starts to twist some of her hair up so it was out of her face,"Wanna have a little more fun?" She slowly joins him on the other side of the bar, bumping him with her him to make some room for her. Ahh one place that really felt like home. She inspected the 'open bar' looking at all the garnishings and booze options, not as many as Abyss, but would still do. Her eyes scan the shelves of booze, before reaching up grabbing the bottle.

Himiko stood on her toes and whispered lowly to Hiroji, "One: Stay and accept my challenge for hottest bartender. Let's see who is more skilled or two," she slips into Japanese motioning to the bottle. "Two: Run with as much booze and have our own party, drinking games included." She winks,"One or two?"

— ROULETTE. WHEN: the grand opening of anderson laboratories. WHERE: the open bar. WHO: open to all.

How he got back here is a pretty easy guess — why he's staying back here is anyone's guess. ( a breather, a break. He's been dragged, it feels like, from here and back and all over again in the very few hours he's been here. Tonight has not gone to plan, to say the very least. ) A towel is slung over one shoulder, the white sleeves of his dress shirt were rolled up past the elbows with a few mysterious stains he isn't focused on. Tattoos spot across his forearms, a patchwork of styles and designs mingling with the scars & wounds from a life lived running. He's lost his tie somewhere between that here and there — sorry, Kenji, but you're probably not getting that back.

The mask remains, however. This is what separates him from the actual bartenders. An inaccurate skeletal dog head — wolf head? He asked for a dog but it looks more like a wolf? Is it the ears? — covers half his face. His shirt opened, the top few buttons having more or less ripped open to let in a little air, reveals the tattoo wrapped around his neck — a meticulous lines detailing the accurate muscular and skeletal anatomy of an opened throat. A map on where to dig your teeth in if you get lucky.

Hiroji is not feeling lucky tonight. He had a plan and then fourteen other fucking plans suddenly derailed his plan. It feels like the second he stepped foot in here, he's been running. He just needs a job. He just needs to do something. Everything can sort out itself out later. "Alright, what can I get you? I don't know what they have and I don't care but I can probably find it and make whatever you want."
