It sure isn't weird for officials in Turkiye to be corrupt, but one aspect of corruption is show trials. 2000 years seems a bit much.

Except that I can't write decent sentences about it, this is a very good video about music composition, in the form of a patient lecture with jokes here and there you can cackle about. Nuts and bolts detail and explanation.
This is a dry video that about the method of Western classical composition. It's not really an answer to your question but it's a good introduction to how composers in this form approach how they're using notes, which is a very specific and recognizable style other musicians need not use.

QUESTION: What are the best books on cities and city-building published since 2013? Explain your answer. It’ll help update the “best 100 city-making books” list below that I published that year. Don’t forget to use the hashtag #UrbanismBookClub, to make the books easily findable forever! (in theory)
On the occasion of Elon Musk pretending that he reads books, I thought I’d reshare my “100 Best Books On City-Making Ever Written” article in @planetizen.bsky.social. It’s 12 years old and needs updating, and got plently of debate back then, but I’d still recommend most of these. #UrbanismBookClub

Delightful detail from the Roman “unswept floor” mosaic by Heraclitus, showing a mouse nibbling a walnut.
Superb use of darker tiles for subtle shadow effect!
