      EXACTLY. I broke my arm ( for the third time) tripping over a damn cellist (our orchestra room at school is wwaaayyy too small) and luckily put my other arm straight up in the air above my head and it never hit the floor. The funniest part was that the conductors stand is right in front of the cellos and she grabbed the violin so I could have caught my fall 😩 luckily it was a hairline fracture and I had to wear a brace for 3 weeks. Told my parents I fell down the stairs.

      'practice' is a noun. 'practise' is a verb.
      'every day' is an adverbial phrase which means each 24hr period, daily.
      'everyday' is an adjective which means common, normal, unremarkable, not special.
      so, you can practise every day during lunch at your everyday practice.

    Just a point about blind pianists etc. This guy was clearly relying on his vision for his sense of keyboard geography (it takes years to develop the ability to play without looking). This is not a bad thing necessarily, many great pianists play like this, but his glasses then fell off before the finale of this Chopin Scherzo which has some huge, fast leaps for which any mortal would require vision. This, added to the psychological stress of losing your vision before the hardest bit of your piece... poor guy!

A Helsinki newspaper said the cello was a total loss."
    I especially appreciate how far the fall was from elated triumph of a third curtain call to disaster. And I appreciate the deadpan tone of the final sentence.

      OHMYGODOTHERHARPISTSACTUALLYEXIST!! My first harp was a Salvi Gaia, a lever harp with pedal harp tension for some stupid reason, the strings snapped so often that the person who sold is the harp and strings eventually just have them to us bc we were spending so much on them (26 strings snapped in 13 months) the person who we bought the harp from went to a hero event where there was a Salvi representative and he goes "oh yeah, there was a faulty batch of Gaias a while ago, maybe it was one of them" they have us a full refund and we went and bought a Dusty Strings lever harp instead (in my opinion the best lever harps) so yeah, don't buy a Salvi lever harp is what I learnt from that.

    I don’t really know where to begin. I admit my comment has nothing to do with your cringe reactions, so excuse my timing. I work as a CNA at a nursing home and I’ve been caring for a woman who has dementia. Some days are better than others, but she was describing her love of the piano to me. Her face lit up the moment I brought up Paganini and Tchaikovsky. I’m not a classical musician. Not by any means and yet I was able to help my resident reminisce her days as a musician. That’s the reason why I want to thank you TwoSet. Your content gives me the opportunity to connect with my residents. Even when their days feel so hopeless. Besides, you deserve extra points for being hilarious, so I hope you notice the difference you’re making ✨.

    I’ve played piano for 17 years and I was always taught that you shouldn’t really be looking at the keys much, or not at all if possible, so I’m not surprised the pianist whose glasses fell off could keep going. Unless the next note you’re playing is far away from the last, looking isn’t usually necessary.

      There’s always someone to carry on the music
      And when we finished marching
      The one in the middle came to us with an exhausted look on her face
      She told us that there were several times when the left and the right took a rest at the same time and she had strain herself to carry on the music even she was drained 😂
      Since we couldn’t hear anything from the other side

      This is because if the lose string is over other strings it'll produce horrible sounds when the other keys are pressed because it'll vibrate when they do. The small 3 second screech is better than having a losses metal object dull the sounds and produce screeching when the sustain pedal is pressed.

    People who play the tuba are uncannily good at reading very, very low notes on the bass clef, but seize up in terror and ask for another beer when asked to read the treble clef.
    *Viola players have their own special clef, I think it's called the alto clef, and it excuses them from having to be able to read music at all.*"
