Hi all! So this is fairly random, and I may well be misremembering, in which case please correct me, but it’s been annoying me for a while, so I wanted to see if anyone could tell me anything!
I have a memory of a Lingling40hrs video, in which they reacted to a video titled something like 'POV: your accompanist is running late', and it was a woman playing a piece with one hand on flute, and the other on piano. I believe when I looked in the comments, it was a piece specifically written/arranged for the performer to be able to do this. I’m now a much more developed pianist and flautist than I was at that time, and love doing silly things like this, so I would really like to play around with a piece like that! Research (probably unsurprisingly) hasn’t given any answers. I’m aware it’s pretty niche, but if somebody knows what I’m talking about, or for some reason knows of a different piece that’s one hand on each, please let me know! This has been on my mind for years!

Edit: Although not many have seen this post, I thought I'd update just in case it helps someone searching for the same in the future! The piece is Wilhelm Popp's Bagatelle

Recently I’ve been lucky enough to get hold of an older but still very good condition iPad that I intend to use primarily for music. I’m a bit of a physical score purist, so not very well versed in using electronics for this. I’d like to get used to using it for certain scores to make life a little easier. So, for fear of sounding a little silly, I was wondering how people actually organise this? Previously, I’ve just opened up scores and made some folders in the files app, but it feels like there’s got to be a better system. I’ve also seen a lot of people writing on their iPad music, even in different layers, which would be super useful. I have an apple pen for this, but not really sure what I’m doing after that. Another thing I’m thinking about is getting a Bluetooth pedal to page turn, so would be interested to hear if anyone’s found that worthwhile.

All and any input on how people use their devices for music would be greatly appreciated as, evidently, I’m pretty clueless!

Edit: Thank you all for the suggestions, it’s really helpful to get the range of views. I have a lot to be working with now, and will be looking into all that was recommended!

Dearest darling wise and noble reader,
A debate has come unto my attention recently - an essential conversation for our ever-changing world.

How many ants would it take to successfully support and carry a grand piano?

Assuming, but of course, that the piano is 490kg. The piano would be lifted, flipped so the greatest surface area is facing down, and the ants would assemble (like the good little fellows they must be) underneath. The grand would then be lowered - with the utmost compassion and care - onto our friend’s backs.

With this information, I hope to change the world and create a spark of joy in the hearts of those who need it most.

Thank you ever so kindly.

PS. All experimental actions and materials conducted following the resolution if this dastardly problem will be carried out in the most proper manner we can muster. I hope you have a spiffing day.
