Not a new game, but I'm glad that it's on Swich now. What a great use of joy-cons. And there is a demo you can try right now.

But there is no Brahms's third symphony 😭

Now I am wondering whether he has enough money to pay for this lawsuit!

I always show utmost respect for a program (live or recorded). If the concert that day wants to include an atonal piece, I will still be very attentive (and won't skip if it is on a streaming platform).

I admire the energy and focus that musicians (especially soloists) pour into the piece.

But to just casually search for one? I can't.

How about you? Do you like it or hate it or have a complex feeling about it?

In case anyone missed the news, the European Central Bank is running a complete redesign of the euro banknotes, and we have a real chance of getting Ludwig on actual money.

Here is the link. The survey is open until 21 September 2026.

If this comes true, I think I'll be going "dun dun dun dunnnnn" every time I hold one.

Just stumbled upon this wonderful arrangement, called "Bèo Dạt Mây Trôi" (Drifting Duckweed, Floating Clouds). I grew up listening to this melody as a lullaby. Now I get to hear it on a grand scale, so moving.

How about you? What traditional orchestrated melody from your home country would you want to introduce to people?

Just bought one last week. While The Legend of Zelda is undoubtedly my first go-to, I want to ask about other games. Right now I'm looking for some easy, cosy sim-like games to take my mind off things when I'm stressed, but I welcome suggestions from other genres as long as the music slaps. Especially the one using the full orchestra to give off the vibe like a symphony.

Wondering if there are any games about opening a music academy. Lol

Yeah. Longing, aching and all by myself. Also any other woodwind concertos will do as I have been addicted to woodwinds lately. Thank you soooooo much!

I came to classical music not long ago, from January 2026 to be exact. I travelled to Chiang Mai, Thailand, and suddenly saw a brass ensemble at the reservoir in Chiang Mai University. Funny thing was I didn't even know any of the instruments in that ensemble except the trumpet. After their performance, a trumpet boy came to tell me that they were playing there to promote CMUSO's concert about film called "Once Upon A Scene" (Ghibli, Avengers, Pirates of the Caribbean and stuff). Curious as I always am, I did come to the concert. This was a totally unexpected agenda for the trip. I came to travel with just shorts and T-shirts but I heard that we needed to dress formally to see the orchestra. So I went shopping for clothes the next day.

First time seeing the orchestra I was blown away by all the instruments. Everyone was dressed up as a character they liked. The venue was in a museum so it was such a pity that I couldn't see the brass because there weren't tiered seats for the orchestra to sit on. There was an embarrassing story there. At the intermission, I went to the toilet and saw a viola player sitting in the front row and tried to make conversation with him: "Are you that first chair playing the violin?" He replied with a cold shoulder, "I played the viola." Someone dig me a hole right there.

And I loved the concert. It was just around 20 bucks. So cheap for that 2 hour experience. And at the end of the concert, there was a surprise performance for the conductor to propose to his girlfriend. I saw the trumpet boy who introduced the concert to me at the reservoir and went to buy some cake to thank him for his performance.

After going home, I went mad learning about the instruments and the layout. Then one thing after another, I found this sub and now I'm a monthly subscriber to the BPO's Digital Concert Hall. Been to countless concerts, chamber music and recitals since. 8 months feels really like destiny unfolding all at once. And it's nice to go on the whole journey of the New World Symphony rather than just the iconic brass part that went mainstream because of Tom and Jerry.

Now the very first thing I do when I go to a new city is check out its orchestra.

What about yours?

Yeah, I want rage with full intensity. Thank you

I have a habit of choosing one desired track on YouTube Music and letting the algorithm surprise me. But very recently, AI tracks have been creeping in a lot.

If the music is playing through my headphones or earbuds, I can spot it instantly. But if I'm doing chores and using a speaker, I either don't pay attention or let it slide. Any tricks to set up YouTube to be free from these AI tracks?

Give me some underrated ones in whatever languages. The ones that have made you obssessed and put them on heavy rotation. Thank you!
