Blues music deserves to be studied academically on par with classical music and jazz.

Good to know that even fully grown composers like Benjamin Britten still asked their mom for stuff like I do. A day late but Happy Mother’s Day 💐

I keep seeing all this news about Mahler and a video game on my classical music feed on Bluesky and I’m like “since when did Mahler make a video game?” 😭😭😭
Mr. Mahler, review bombing is when players leave negative reviews because of developer or publisher behavior.
Your game is not being bombed, but honestly criticized.
Get those scores up as high as you want; a lot of people won't touch early access titles.

A photo from 1908 of the youthful Igor Stravinsky and others with the man he called his "second father", his teacher Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. L-R: Stravinsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rimsky's daughter Nadezhda, her fiancé Maximilian Steinberg, and Stravinsky's first wife Yekaterina.

there should be a law against going into the youtube comments of a really difficult piece of classical music and saying you're playing it for a high school audition

True. When I listen to Beethoven's "Eroica," a "radical" symphony from 1805, I'm reminded of what that first audience must have thought. Also, Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring," which caused a ruckus at its premiere in 1913, but in that case the orchestra wasn't up to the difficulties of the work.
