increpare games

For the sake of posterity, here’s an attempt at humour I might have posted on a (naturally 100% un-illegal) music sharing forum:

There have been a bunch of people just bitching about the complete dearth of satellite sheet-music sharing threads on this forum, and I have to say I totally agree with them; I feel, in fact that we must effect a serious-ass revolution on this here forum.

So, with this in mind, here are my suggestion for some more threads that, whilst slightly specialist (some might say), will still have more than enough followers to ensure a high turnout posts and turnover of participants I anticipate:

——————

Waltzes by composers of the first Vienese school transcribed, by composers of the second Vienese school, for thumb and forefinger of the left hand. (note italics; all other material, however interesting, will be removed by the moderator I’m sure, possibly at the same time as banning you and all of your family members faster than you can say, in as oversized, garishly coloured, and generally obnoxious a font as you can manage, “Could somebody PLS post a version of Pachelbel’s Canon scored for cowbell ensemble?”).

Symphonic etudes with the object of increasing the flexibility of the second violist’s rehearsal schedule.

Music minus one versions of 4’33”.

Postings of scalar passages of Mozart sonatas running from G flat to B in the fourth octave.

Scans of photocopies of the third measure of the dover edition of das Rheingold.

In a similar vein, a thread for Instructions on how to fold an origami edition of Die Meistersinger von Nuernberg, ideally from a single square of the third measure of the dover edition of das Rheingold.

——————

In any event, as the great Oscar Wilde once said, “If you want to live in a World where there are many, many satellite threads, post lots of satellite threads and you’ll live in that sort of world”.

If you are interested in establishing, please send me your answers on a postcode with robust promptitude, and, indeed, entirely loxodromically.

Ho ho ho, I’m sure you’ll agree.
