This little turtle not only learned how to express its love for 67, but even stole my phone, hacked into my reddit account, changed my profile picture and flair, took a photo of itself, made a subreddit called r/turtules, made multiple posts, and learned what a Vigenère Cipher is, all so it could create a little encrypted message that no one caught (someone did in fact catch the cipher 9 minutes after this was posted).

It was unfortunately downvoted by those who didn't truly believe it had any true affection for the numbers 6 and 7.

this turtle gave a final message before it handed my phone back days later, waking me up at 1:00 AM:

"turtule sad. 67, Xigjan sd adkt iwxhcjbqtg, pcs xi qgtpzh bn ijgijat wtpgi id httiwpi diwtgh sdc'i. Wtgt'h p NdjIjqt axcz X vjthh. wiieh://ndjij.qt/KEf-xbgeVJF?hx=wEWTWvzD9tLY6Yh7"

so intelligent, and yet it can't spell turtle properly.

oh man

I didn't even bother editing this photo because the subject is just happening everywhere at once. After all, this is the big stretto section with probably the most strettos in the piece.

Measures 6 and 7 were actually super interesting because of how they connected the exposition and development and had the first stretto.

Measures 16 and 17 on the other hand don't really have much going on aside from the fact that they're in the middle of this big section where all 4 voices are playing.

A little supporting fact is that this big section (spanning 14 - 19) is very likely BOTH the technical and emotional climax of this piece due to the sheer amount of SUBJECT playing right here. It just never stops throwing this melody into your face but still makes it sound good harmonically (which is insane, Bach is a genius).

So I guess what makes these funny 67 mention bars special is that they're in the big and climactic "i am going to shove my fugue subject down your throat" part, which is honestly special enough.

either way Bach is so tuff for giving major importance to Measures 6 and 7

im not realy that good at baroque music analysis

Bach is still tuff tho

⁶🤷‍♂️⁷

link to measures 6 7 analysis: https://www.reddit.com/r/67LOVE/s/IPSrp5dxv9

this piece actually has measures twenty SIX and twenty SEVEN and i will probably analyze them next

i am learning bach i guess so cool

The Fugue Subject here is highlighted in red.

What's special about these two is that they end the Exposition and start the Development, two major sections intersect at specifically the SIXth and SEVENth bars which is pretty tuff of Bach, who just predicted the 67 meme over 300 years early

Analysis:

Measure 6 starts off with the subject in the bass voice (voice 4). This voice entry already begun during measure 5, and measure 6 is continuing it.

It's pretty difficult to read the music here.

Since this is a Fugue without Countersubject, this piece plays 3 voices of Counterpoint on top of the subject in bass.

The Subject finishes by the end of measure 6, and starts the development.

Measure 7 is unique because it has the first Stretto in the piece, and this piece is commonly called the "Stretto Fugue". In simple terms, Measure 7 just dropped the [TITLECARD].

In Measure 7, it starts off with some semiquavers then, then the Subject enters in the Soprano voice (the highest voice and the second voice to enter the subject in the exposition). The alto voice just disappears for the rest of this measure.

Then the Answer (subject transposed to dominant) enters on beat 2.5 in the Tenor Voice. That is the start of Stretto 1.

That's all for Measures 6 and 7 that I can explain i guess

Glossary (because this is a 67 subreddit and not a baroque music one):

Fugue - A type of piece where voices overlap, introducing a "subject" with each entry. Once all the entries end the "exposition" ends and the "development" begins. There can be a minimum of two voices in a fugue.

Subject Entry - When one of the voices starts playing the subject.

Exposition - The subject/answer entries of all voices.

Development - Where the fugue starts expanding musically, and most notably modulates to different keys while still mentioning the subject often.

Stretto - (in baroque music terms, this has a different definition in other classical eras)

When 2 or more voices both playing the subject overlap, starting on different rhythms.

Counterpoint - Melodic material that does not return/is not too important .

Countersubject - Melodic material that does return and is important (almost always plays alongside the subject in the development).

I am not very good at Bach, but if you read to the end you are a tuff sigma.

7-tuplet in 6/8 Chopin prelude

(67 mentioned 😂🎉)

This is Chopin's D Minor Prelude. It's overall a great piece and one of the more famous preludes. It's most defining feature is the overall mood and that hand-straining repeating left hand pattern.

However, most find it interesting because of its ending. It ends in a large arpeggio going down to a low D. That D is hammered as hard as possible a couple times to end the piece.

Many pianists choose a different way to

smash that D. Some hit it with the thumb, index and middle fingers, some just smash it with their hand in a fist (looks super cool but not very practical)

If you want to learn more about this, search up

"Pianists smashing D"

Or you can click this link to see how different pianists smash D

And here's the full piece

https://youtu.be/uaSX1SU\_MIU?si=Tyh\_4zL-wVWVYD2j

The 7-tuplet in the sheet music up on the post can be found around 1:53, and the 2 bars overall start at 1:50

I probably should've used a different color. Now my red circles merge with the dark red squares.

Fun Fact Time:

This fugue is one of Bach's most famous. It is the first fugue in WTC (Well Tempered Clavier) book 1. This is a book with sheet of a prelude and fugue in every single key both major and minor written by Bach. He did this in a time where instruments weren't tuned properly and typically sounded good in only few keys. It's because of this revolutionary book that western music (most of the music we listen to) treat all 24 keys as usable

(hence the name well tempered clavier).

P.S, music would eventually get the 24 keys idea but it likely wouldn't have been as central without this book. That's pretty big as most musical genres that came after relied heavily on the idea of 24 usable keys, so cool.

very cool

67 mention 😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉

I think I've posted this little musescore-made ABA form etude in a couple other 67 subreddits but forgot this one.

this is more rachmaninoff-inspired than chopin-inspired but ended up sounding more like chopin.

the 67 mention is everywhere the 7-tuplet is playing alongside the 3/4 LH accompaniment, making it a 3:7 polyrhythm, but I like to call it a 6:7 polyrhythm.

so 67.

does this count as pencilslop

this piece is the prelude in D Minor, one of my personal favorites of Chopin.

This here is a photo of a septuplet (seven-tuplet) in the prelude, which is in 6/8. a seven-tuplet in 6/8.

that'd make it momentarily a 6:7 polyrhyhm!

This is why Chopin was a genius, as he managed to see into the future and include this tuff polyrhythm into this famous piece and still make it sound good!

so tuff

Haha 67

🤯🤯🤯🤯😶😶🫣😮😮😮😮

six seven

👍

haha 67 🤯🤯🤯🤯

I cant believe Bach included so many 67 references in this fugue he truly was a genius!

These are all the 67 mentions in the C Major fugue from WTC book 1.

I didn't account for modulations because I didn't feel like it, so these are all just every time there's a 67 mention in the measure names and when the A (6th degree of C Major) and B (7th degree of C major) play next to eachother!

I probably forgot some.

67 🤯🤯🤯🤯

This is the second book in the Mystery of Herobrine series.

It's called The Jungle Temple Oracle and it has a 67th page which already makes it a tuff book

This is the only Gameknight999 book I have unfortunately 😔

This is overall a really good book though and I love it

Not only that but it has a 67th page, making it more tuff

It's also a Minecraft book which is pretty cool

It is also quite tuff because it has a 67th page

But it also has a 67th page that is very tuff and

minecaft haha

This is actually a photo of a book called The Frog and Toad Treasury which is this collection of 3 Frog and Toad books which is pretty cool.

I think there's only 1 more book in this series that i'm missing which is the Days with Frog and Toad one.

Because there is a 67 mention it's also tuff sigma

Yay Beethoven biography

right now i'm only on page 45 and probably need to restart from the beginning since I haven't read this in a while 👍

I solved my Rubik's cube in around 67 seconds 👍

You can't really see what i'm doing because I am offscreen half the time but I am using the CFOP method.

This cube is pretty sluggish and gets stuck a lot, but it has that nice sound to it. It makes for very good ASMR 👍

have a good day/sleep fellow 67 lovers

Chopin is one of my personal favorite composers, along with Liszt, Beethoven, and Mozart (I am currently studying baroque music so Bach is soon to join that list).

These are his Op.67 compositions, which consists of 4 Mazurkas in G major, G minor, C major, and A minor respectively.

I think Chopin mazurkas are so unfortunately underrated compared to his big pieces (the ballades, scherzos, concertos, etc).

These mazurkas actually have very beautiful melodies in them (chopin's melodies are always beautiful, but these ones feel special).

You may not know who Chopin is if you're not a classical musician, and that is probably normal, as he is not a household name like Beethoven or Mozart. However, you will DEFINITELY recognize this composition of his.

https://youtu.be/9E6b3swbnWg?si=G2e1uQB8NaTauaah.

So yeah, my goat Chopin composed the "sad piano background music that plays when your sister falls down the stairs in slow motion" piece.

No massive story this time like I did rachmaninoff unfortunately/fortunately.

I wonder why this sub gets brigaded all the time, because its super chill unlike the untuff LOVE67

Yes, Rachmaninoff was at age 67 when he finished composing his last piece. Unfortunately, he never reached his Op.67 (his last Opus being Op.45).

I don't know much about Rachmaninoff as I do Chopin, Beethoven, and others around their time, so I guess no massive body text like last time I did one of this.

Actually, I do have a story.

When Rachmaninoff's very first symphony was played live, it went disastrously. The conductor was allegedly drunk and the orchestra's unrehearsed playing made it sound terrible. At the time, Rachmaninoff was around 24 and had a very high and fragile ego.

The symphony and Rachmaninoff himself were absolutely demolished by critics.

Later on, Rachmaninoff allegedly said that the critics' reviews weren't what affected him most. He was most disappointed with how his piece turned out. Rachmaninoff, while writing the symphony, thought of it as one of his best. After the performance, Rachmaninoff then began to lose confidence in the work.

Rachmaninoff soon lost most confidence in his ability in composing, and his depression worsened. He developed a writer's block. That writer's block lasted three whole years.

In those three years, his confidence would be dropping low. There were some moments that made him more confident, but he never truly got past his writer's block until his big recovery.

His big recovery began when he started therapy with Doctor Nikolai Dahl. Dahl restored Rachmaninoff's self-confidence through multiple sessions.

Rachmaninoff would then go off to write one of his most famous pieces, his Piano Concerto 2. It was a massive hit, and it has left a good mark on the classical music world.

If Rachmaninoff had never received proper treatment, he could have stopped composing and would have never been able to write the influential music he did after this.

This isn't just about the music, though. It's about how Dr. Dahl helped him through depression and sadness. The music was just one part of it.

This isn't just about Rachmaninoff and Dahl either. You can be a good person just like Dr. Dahl if you want. You may not be a professional therapist, and you have to accept that. But if you can be kind and understanding, then you can still make someone feel slightly better, even if it doesn't help them fully. And if you are going through something like Rachmaninoff, you can talk to someone. Someone in real life who you trust and are comfortable with. Not necessarily as professional as Dr. Dahl, but someone who can truly support you and make you feel better. That's what we can get from this story. That's the lesson.

That's still not it though. Rachmaninoff didn't have a happily-ever-after life right after he composed the Second Concerto. Multiple times across his life, his writer's block and depression would come back shortly.

So there's actually a second lesson of this story.

Even after you overcome terrible troubles, don't think your life is perfect already. More troubles will return over time, but you can always manage them.
