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.

Do you ever start playing some random Dvorak, and you're like, "YES! Fuck, yes. This. Always this," or is that just me?

My Spotify Wrapped, though I started listening to only radio and pieces in concerts halfway through the year….

How the F did I listen to the Polka 148 times this year???

And half my listening was of the man, the myth, the legend, Dmitri Shostakovich!

3/5 of my top songs were DSCH other two were Tchaikovsky and Dvorak. Yippeeeeee

Classical Music Suites Bracket

Hi everyone! After the success that the symphony bracket has been so far I thought I'd keep the fun going by hosting the suites bracket that was initially discussed on that blog. The format will remain quite similar, but I'll clarify this when the tournament starts which will likely be sometime in December. There is only the one mod, so please be patient with me (oh also she/they pronouns please).

I'm accepting submissions, so here's some guidelines for that:

Please make submissions to the ask box.

You can include propaganda if you would like to but you don't have to.

If there is a specific recording that you would like me to use please specify it in your submission.

For the purposes of this bracket suite is fairly broad, though it will be restricted to suites with at least 2 movements. Please don't submit works that are other forms (eg. symphony, concerto, opera etc). If the mod determines that a submission is not clearly a suite then a poll will be created to determine general consensus.

The number of suites to make it into the bracket is yet to be determined, but it will be either 16, 32, or 64, depending on the number of submissions.

As submissions come in, I will add them to the bottom of this post every so often.

Also as an extra little novelty, feel free to guess the suite, movement, and instrument of the sheet music in the header image :)

Tagging @symphonybracket to credit the idea as that is where the idea was first talked about and much of the format has come from.

Feel free to share this post, ask any questions you may have, and of course start submitting!

PLKeyboard Week 0

Hello! I am Phoenix Lightning. You can also find me at the account @phoenixacxf! I am a college student and I am neurodivergent. Today's hyperfixation is keyboard layouts! So, I decided I'm going to start creating my own keyboard layout. This page is so I can document the process. Right now, I am going to be logging everything I write and start creating my layout at the end of the upcoming week. I will make updates every week or so on my commonly used words, letters, bigrams, and digraphs. Every month, I will try to update the PLKeyboard layout. Within this first month, I will update it weekly. I want to show the evolution of the layout as I create it.

I currently main on the Colemak keyboard layout, so I plan on using it most of the time. As I continue to post, and as I continue to create the layout, I might swap to it.

This layout is going to be made specifically for me, hence why I will be calling it the PLKeyboard. I am going to be prioritizing the following things:

The ctrl+z, ctrl+x, ctrl+c, and ctrl+v layouts should be easy to use (as such, the z, x, c, and v keys will stay in the same spots as in QWERTY and Colemak)

I am left handed, as such, I want to prioritize key usage on my left hand.

I want it to be easy to type bigrams and trigrams. Common groups of two and three letters should feel nice to type.

I want to minimize movement across the keys.

I want to prioritize index finger usage.

As I do more testing, these priorities may change and whatnot. I am unsure on if I want to use the middle row as my home row. I am thinking I may want to use the top or bottom row as my home row. I will do ergonomic testing eventually.

Something I will note is that I will also eventually test out split keyboards and other ergonomic modifications to see if I prefer them. This could drastically change how the layout ends up being.

I will probably not start using this layout for a few months, just some minor testing. I only just started on Colemak so I want to continue to use it as well.

Why am I making this? Only because I want to try it out and experiment. I like Colemak over QWERTY, so I want to see if I can find something I like more than Colemak. If this gets enough of a following, I may open a google forms where you all can input your own text samples so that I can start optimizing this for a larger group of people. I want this to work well for Gen Z in that scenario. In this scenario, I would make both a right handed and left handed layout.

Anyways, without further ado, let's show you guys my top ten letters, words, bigrams, and trigrams as judged based on various writings i had on my google drive (that are purely my writing).

My top ten letters are:

E (not surprising)

T (also not surprising)

A

O

I

N

H

S

R

D

My top ten words are:

the (not suprising)

ST

My top ten trigraphs are:

In order to calculate my letters, bigrams, and trigrams, I used this app: https://www.dcode.fr/frequency-analysis

For words, I used this: https://www.online-utility.org/text/analyzer.jsp

So, that's what this stage looks like! Get ready for concept 1 which will come out next week!
