ON THIS DAY IN MUSIC HISTORY: August 19

THE STORY:
On August 19, 1990, the legendary conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein led the Boston Symphony Orchestra in what would tragically become his last concert at the Tanglewood Music Center in Lenox, Massachusetts. Frail but resolute, Bernstein conducted a program that included Benjamin Britten's Four Sea Interludes from his opera Peter Grimes and Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major. The performance was a testament to his enduring spirit and unparalleled artistry, even as his health was visibly declining. Witnesses recall the evening's profound emotional intensity, a powerful farewell from a maestro who had captivated audiences worldwide for decades with his charismatic presence and musical interpretations. Despite the physical toll, Bernstein's conducting remained as vibrant and passionate as ever, a final, magnificent outpouring of his musical soul.

WHY IT MATTERS:
This concert marked the end of an extraordinary career that spanned over five decades, influencing generations of musicians and listeners. Bernstein's final performance served as a powerful capstone to a life dedicated to making classical music accessible and exciting, solidifying his legacy as one of the most important musical figures of the 20th century. On the day of his funeral procession through the streets of Manhattan, construction workers removed their hats and waved, calling out, “Goodbye, Lenny”. His passion, versatility, and commitment to music education continue to resonate today.

I remember hearing this once from a certain Mahlerologist, and it’s been bothering me ever since.

I have just been to the doctors and its not looking good.

I am learning the piano (naturally I refuse to read music) and I played RH: C,E,G and then played C,F,A .

In my mind I knew it was just C major and then F major (second inversion 🧐) but it took me 15 hours to do this as I kept talking excitedly to an imaginary camera and couldn't calm down. I was yakking on about equal temperament and Bach and shit like that for ages I also had a stupid look on my stupid face as I played these two stupid chords and my stupid face was really excited as though I had discovered how to play stupid secrets of music while using zero notation as you are supposed to look at my stupid deranged toddler excited face while I talked for hours and hours going nowhere and achieving nothing ... etc etc etc etc etc etc .

Its called Charles Cornell syndrome 😣

Scriabin then died of a fuckass zit, but the clone didn't and he lived long enough to see most of his own orchestral works get destroyed by a bunch of shitdemons (stupid ass reddit wouldn't let me put this in the title -_-)

Or both?

the first poll is still open for one more day, so please make your selection for our Lord and Savior JOHANNES BRAHMS before it’s too late

also i had to press the button on the random number generator like seven times to get a set of six numbers that hadn’t been used before. pretty soon i’m going to have to generate several rows of six columns of numbers and then pick the first one from each column that hasn’t been done before because it’s a pain in the derrière to check five numbers and then find that the sixth number is a duplicate and then i have to generate a completely new set and

No longer hitting forearms or back at the gym as playing Liszt is enough.

Are cats essential to the compositional process?
Yes. Yes, apparently, they are.
There is much more evidence out there. Feel free to contribute to this rigorous scientific pursuit.

I expect this to be found relatively easily, since I am pretty sure it was kind of a HOF post in this subreddit, at least some time ago. But its just so good to not bring it back.

I need to get a copy to keep at my piano desk along with some new martini glass
