#of Beethoven's Turkish March

[deceptive-copy]

Ever wanted to listen to just the instrumental music from my Detective Pony videos without the video or dialogue? I've made an AO3 work as a central place to post links to that!

You can listen on AO3 via the embedded SoundCloud player, or stream or download from the SoundCloud site. I've also included the link to the old Box download site on the list (those are lower quality mp3 files, but maybe that's useful for someone so I'll leave 'em up).

Classical Music Is So Strange Sometimes

I might be really dumb and just not understand the ins and outs of classical music. So, ya know, feel free to explain stuff in the tags and comments if you want! But this is my experience thus far.

So you've got basically three tiers of classical music song names.

Tier One: Instantly Recognizable These are the most like modern songs, in that they are short, and have actual words in their name. Like everybody knows immediately what I'm talking about if I bring up Eine Kleine Nachtmusik or Beethoven's 5th Symphony, right?

Tier Two: TLDR These have a lot of numbers and abbreviations and "in the key of" notes which are difficult or impossible to remember, but at least they have one or two words in their titles that stick out and help you remember/find the song again. For example, Mozart's Piano Sonata #11 in A, K 331, "Turkish March" - #3: Rondo Alla Turca. Sorry, I'm not going to remember that entire thing! But "Turkish March" or even "Rondo Alla Turca"? That's doable. Many of these songs are even given the TLDR titles in albums or on YouTube, like Vivaldi's Spring.

Tier Three: What on God's green earth possessed you to name it that Maybe these titles make sense to music majors but not to me. Indistinguishable from all the other songs in this tier, hard to find in a search, will I ever be able to hear this beauty again? Doubtful. Good examples might be Schubert's Impromptu in B Flat, D 935/3 or his Impromptu in B Flat, D 935/2, or maybe Chopin's Nocturne #2 in E Flat, Op 9/2. Look them up and I can almost guarantee you'll recognize them, but unless you are VERY fond of the particular song, I doubt you'll remember those titles! (I love Nocturne in E Flat a lot so I've made a point of remembering that much at least haha)

Anybody else feel this way or am I just a lone weirdo (and/or uncultured swine?) XD

[penroseparticle]

3, 5, 6, and 16 for the music ask 👀

3. A song that reminds you of summertime

Slide by Calvin Harris ft. Migos and Frank Ocean is my go to, but I'm going off the beaten track for this one. I think I gotta go with Cocaina by Captain Cuts, Daniels ,and Rich The Kid. It's got like. Miami house party doing dumb shit vibes. It feels like it would be playing while we b-rolled over a summer house party or hot people on the beach. It's kinda gross, it's kinda seedy, it's hot and sticky, it's stupid. It's got that summer grit that only the beach brings.

I simultaneously cannot stand parties like this and miss them terribly. Also cocaine sucks do better drugs (Source: trust me). I do love a good song with a stupid play on words.

5. A song that needs to be played LOUD

I know it's a classic but Genesis by Justice. I think. Maybe Pursuit by Gesaffelstein? Mazel Tov by Talco? I did go on a big Italian Ska kick for exactly two weeks. I dunno man, anything that makes me feel like I'm going to cross my eyes watching the light show and teleport out of my body due to the bass allowing me to achieve astral projection. I love a good loud, grungy, rough electronic song played loud enough to be a solid wall. Like some of those samples need to feel like a needle jackhammer man.

The shameful secret answer is If I Can't Have You by Shawn Mendes, I need to have it loud enough to have ear damage while I dance in my bathroom mirror and lipsync it

6. A song that makes you want to dance

I have seen Caravan Palace THREE TIMES live and they are a TREAT every single time. I think I would have to go with Supersonics today, though Lone Digger is a classic shout and I think my favorite dance-y track on the new album is Mirrors. I'm glad Mad finally got an album release though, that video is fuckin weird man. I dunno I just think that Electro Swing in general is a genre that makes me want to move. Jazz sensibilities with electro beats? I just lost my shit about berlioz I can only be so predictable.

16. One of my favorite classical songs

I am a huge, unbelievable fan of Rondo Alla Turka by Mozart. I guess it's Piano Sonata no. 11, but I really only care about the third movement, Turkish March. In a shocking turn of events I like repetition. Time loops. Things iterating on themselves. Running something back and embellishing. Rondos in general do a lot of repetition in a way that doesn't get boring for me, and it's a simple(at least in components of composition) piano piece that was easy to follow for me when I cared more about Classical as a kid (aka when I played violin).

I do love me some Mozart, even today. It's kind of a shame that a lot of pop cuture riffing on classical music I've had access to (So like, Konami rhythm games) has a huge hard-on for Beethoven. Even Catherine focused more on Handel/Holst/Chopin. It's tough out there for a Mozart fan.

"No trumpets. Cool. Well, I haven't heard of any angels that play bassoon." She suggested, smile still in place. "But none of what you said sounded like a no. So, I'm taking it as a yes and will find a play that has fun music." Rose tilted her head, "Or are you more of a melody person? You could borrow my flute."

Hearing he could play any instrument made her want to test it, even though she knew he wouldn't lie about it. It would just be interesting to manifest obscure instruments and see how he played them. That idea gave her another, funnier, idea. "No, wait. I know an instrument that actually fits you as a person. I don't know if it's pit band material though." Hand behind her back, she manifested an instrument she'd been obsessed with two years ago after seeing it in a video. She only hoped she could get it right.

When she revealed what was in her hand, it was a black otamatone with white eyes and stem switch. "Ta-da" She sang. "For, you know, being awesome. Today especially." She squeezed the mouth with her left hand and pressed the stem switch in a few places to mimic the melody of Beethoven's Turkish March.

"That's cool. Hey, we should totally join a pit band." She said, voice sounding as if she'd come to some life changing revelation. Rose's grin slowly grew and she turned to look at him, "It would be fuuuuun." The fae sang softly, hoping she was getting the puppy dog look right. She definitely has never practiced it in front of a mirror. Not ever.

She hadn't played in a band since the time with Beth. Maybe it would be nice to do it again. Things like that would at least make her feel closer to Beth; at least, she hoped it did. "I'm sure they could use a guitarist or any other instrument you play. I could teach you trumpet or something if you don't play any wind instruments." Her voice was excited as she thought about all the possibilities. "Though, it would be a lot different than your usual rockstar style."

Everything You Wanted to Know About Javanese Gamelan But Were Afraid to Ask: John Pitts’ “Extreme Heterophony”

This is John Pitts‘ second incursion into adapting non-western music for the conventional piano. In doing so he follows a long tradition of fascination with non-western musics by western composers. Listeners will likely be familiar with Beethoven or Mozart who imitated Turkish music to add an exotic dimension to their compositions (Beethoven with his Turkish March sequence in the finale of the…

the disaster lineage (TM) as piano players

bc I said so and bc I was thinking about how much learning to play piano might have helped anakin a lot with learning patience/discipline/wisdom/better understanding jedi teachings and philosophy? also it’s a great outlet for creativity & for when you’re feeling frustrated/sad--playing the piano can be so soothing & therapeutic. becoming a pianist could probably really help him become a more balanced, stable person overall, and music in general is just really great and makes your life better. + consider: anakin playing the piano for padme when he wants to impress her and anakin teaching the 501st some tunes on their leave time

it just has so much fix it potential, okay?? plus I like projecting 

anyways, the disaster lineage/trio as piano players, here we go:

obi-wan:

- classical music all the way

- he’s a classical/baroque era type of guy: mozart, bach, haydn, beethoven, all that jazz. really likes all the mozart sonatas, tends to prefer the 1st movements but he’ll do the 3rd if he’s feeling adventurous. taught anakin to see the beauty in the 2nd movements instead of defaulting them to “boring”

- cannot for the life of him understand what ahsoka sees in the contemporary era of piano music

- tends to prefer music in major keys, for some weird reason 

- sonatas sonatas SONATAS

- also waltzes. he plays a mean waltz. 

- and the well tempered clavier (bach) because it’s important, Anakin

- anakin finds most of his pieces “boring” but he played the moonlight sonata once and anakin was like BAM. instantly in love with that piece. never made fun of obi-wan’s musical preferences again for fear of obi-wan not teaching it to him someday

- when he’s feeling adventurous or melancholy he heads over to the romantic era. maybe some chopin

- learns by reading the music, learns all the notes & rhythms very precisely and accurately the first time through

- this makes his learning a piece take a long time because he wants to make sure he’s doing everything right

- also takes a long-ish time to memorize a piece for the same reasons

- uses metronomes. often

- practices his exercises & scales like he’s supposed to, unlike the rest of the trio

-  used to suffer a lot from stage fright/nerves/anxiety, but worked past it throughout the years

- his sightreading is always very careful and precise, he looks meticulously through the music beforehand

anakin:

- probably started out wanting to play pieces that are fast & angry because Master, they sound so cool!! 

- really wanted to learn kabalevsky’s sontina no. 1 opus 13 3rd movement at one point 

- also beethoven 

- but as time went on, he appreciated melodic, pretty pieces more and more, until eventually his preference shifted to those almost entirely

- this was kicked off by the piece “To a Wild Rose”

- at first he was kind of afraid to really embrace that because he was worried he’d get made fun of but eventually he just stopped caring and flaunted it 

- romantic era of piano music all the way 100%--chopin, tchaikovsky, also schubert and liszt to an extent

- schubert’s impromptu no. 3 op. 90, especially when he’s feeling kinda sad or is just in that vibe

- although he also does vibe a bit with early contemporary to an extent: debussy, debussy, debussy (the preludes, at least)

- vibes so much with debussy you have no idea

- Les Collines D’Anacapri (debussy): the whole package, fast and melodic

- moonlight sonata movements 1 & 3

- he’s partial to the first movement but ahsoka’s more partial to the third, so they’re always bickering over that

- minor keys minor keys MINOR KEYS

- June by Tchaikovsky!! what a jam. one of his all time favorites. plays it whenever he’s feeling down or just in the vibe. it took him forever to learn the middle part though because he just wanted to go fast already, but there are so many sharps and flats that he kept forgetting

- also vibes a lot with chopin nocturnes. and chopin waltzes.

- obi-wan gets tired of him playing so many melancholy pieces. anakin retorts that happy pieces are the most boring of piano pieces. they bicker

- also loves the Lark by glinka & balakirev. with all of his heart. it’s one of the first pieces he played for padme (she had a piano at varykino and they might have been on the run so he can try and get a little practice in, yknow?) and she was like. BAM. instantly in love. jkjkjk but she loved it. she gets very sappy in general when Anakin plays the piano

- also plays La Fille aux Cheveux de Lin for her. he plays padme lots of pretty pieces in general. she made sure to buy a piano for her senatorial apartments for this very reason. 

- debussy’s arabesque no. 1

- actually once he and padme reunited he just went looking through all his repertoire to try and find the prettiest pieces he could, to learn/relearn, so he could play them all for her

- played the Turkish March for the 501st once when they were on leave. once the 501st found out their general was a musician they went wild 

- has perfect pitch, which annoys both obi-wan and ahsoka to no end

- tends to rely on his ear a lot for learning pieces, which can help him learn & memorize quickly but also causes problems down the road, because he tends to not look through the music carefully enough and ends up with a lot of wrong notes/rhythms

- so, especially early on, he has to do a lot of “unlearning” a piece to get it right, and he got frustrated a lot in those first few years

- he eventually got past it, but he still rushes through trying to learn a piece quickly from time to time

- also tends to have problems with sightreading for the same reason--he doesn’t look through the music carefully enough

- keeping a steady tempo was also a challenge for him at first

- can reach over an octave with ease

- tends to be super musical & expressive but sometimes when he’s still learning the piece he tends to unduly accent notes that shouldn’t be accented

- tries to practice whenever they’re on leave or have free time during the war, plays a lot for ahsoka, obi-wan, padme, & the 501st

- has taught some of the 501st some basic tunes

- taught ahsoka

- for some reason, he’s really never felt like playing any music for palpatine. he can’t really put his finger on why.

(note that a bunch of these are from the discord brainstorming session)

ahsoka:

- starts out wanting to learn pop covers & stuff but does find the fast & angry pieces extremely cool

- never really transitions to liking romantic era melodic, slower pieces

- actually vibes with the contemporary era of piano music, for some weird reason 

- BUT. she does vibe with debussy’s “voiles” bc of the “forbeoding vibes”. it’s one of the few slowish pieces she actually likes playing

- that and tchaikovsky’s june. but everyone vibes with tchaikovsky’s june

- loves copland’s the Cat and the Mouse. it took her forever and ever to learn though, and she’s still not able to play it as fast as she wants to (she wants to play it really fast)

- does vibe with bach to an extent

- teaches fives video game music

- has a good ear but is somewhere in between obi-wan and anakin in terms of learning new pieces; she does rely on her ear, to an extent, but she looks through the music much more carefully than anakin and tends to learn it accurately the first time through

- enjoys music theory, unlike anakin, which makes obi-wan extremely proud

- can also reach further than an octave. can reach an octave with relative ease, a nine note interval with a little effort, and a ten note interval if she really pushes it

- can also memorize a piece decently quickly, although she has to go back through and make sure she’s memorizing it accurately and not getting notes/rhythms wrong

- does not vibe with most of debussy’s preludes, or most mozart sonatas 

- does, however, vibe with the odd beethoven sonata here and there

- and ofc the moonlight sonata. everyone vibes with the moonlight sonata

- can and will play all of the video game music

- has tried to impress barriss with a fast piece more than once. barriss is suitably impressed, although she found the Cat and the Mouse rather. . . much

- doesn’t really get stage fright, unlike both obi-wan and anakin, because she’s always taken a rather “chill” approach to learning & performing 

- padme asked her discreetly once to teach her a simple piece so that she could surprise anakin, so ahsoka taught her how to play a simple variation of “ode to joy”. anakin loved it

+ bonus: padme

- never had the time to learn an instrument, between being literal queen of a planet at 14 and then a Senator after that, but she’s always had a soft spot for harp, so it’s on her bucket list to learn someday

- however, she adores music, especially classical music, and really has a soft spot for the slow, pretty pieces 

- loves tchaikovsky

- she finds it soothing and it really helps her relax after a long day trying to keep the Republic from falling apart :’)

- always asks anakin to play her a piece whenever they have an evening together

- has also gotten ahsoka to play her pieces, and, as mentioned above, teach her a simple tune

- has tried to wheedle obi-wan into playing her a piece. eventually it worked. she’s probably one of few non-Jedi he’s actually played the piano for

.

anyways disaster trio as piano players you’re welcome :’)
