never rly noticed but it's interesting how hibike s1 rides on the high of kitauji getting gold for the kyoto competition, then at the start in s2 it starts to explore the downsides of music competition, and how it was basically the catalyst for so much of the conflict between the characters of the story

#hibike rewatch #i do concur that it's difficult to give a “ranking” to music because there's no right way to perform a piece #and neither is one piece of music better than the other #but without the rigour of a competition or platform for ensembles to come together to perform #i think most school musicians won't be able to achieve that high standard of playing #and again i speak from experience #i never got as good with the bass harmonica as compared to the chromatic harmonica despite playing it for a longer time #because i played the chromatic harmonica during JC where we had our inter-school performing arts showcase #that's when i drilled my technique to near perfection #whereas in uni when i played the bass harmonica it was just for annual concerts and small performances #which weren't as rigourous a stage as compared to being judged
