      Interesting. If this wasn’t a top viewed video would you have still posted this comment
      Edit: I am now seeing it on other most popular videos of your channel. Interesting strategy. May I ask why this comment specifically has value?

      Hi evan. I was thoroughly dissapoinnted by this video because the title is a big ol lie. The girl does not participate sonically at all. In fact, she doesn't even ask them to start playing. WHy would u say she started the flash mob. I am eating really good pasta that my cousin martina made and i can't even enjoy it anymore because this video appalled me. Please change the title, for me--if not for your pride. God bless. I'll be checking back tomorrow. Regards.

      According to another story i heard, this happened in Spain. And the guy was not going to start playing unless someone showed interest in his music. It seems that people didn’t want any more musicians in that square, because there had been some quarrel between street music players.

      The biggest take away is that my conductor has much better conducting then the video. My plan is to follow my conductor and not fall behind since Tuba is a long instrument and the sound can get delayed by how long it is.

    When Beethoven wrote this symphony he was completely deaf. He never heard the symphony; he heard it in his mind. When the final cadence of the symphony was played, someone turned him (he conducted the symphony) around so he could see the cheering audience. This was his last symphony.

    I've read the backstory of this performance and it truly is amazing. The cellist waited for hours and was not going to start playing until someone added a coin to his hat. It was a story about what I would consider politics, anyway...He was very close to giving up and not playing at all. And the wee girl wanted to hear him. Her parents would not give her any coins and she saw all the coins in a nearby fountain, got one, and put it in his hat before anyone stopped her. The rest of his orchestra was waiting as well and it is absolutely amazing to me how music can be so fun and healing for so many if you allow it.

      Alas, man cannot and will not. The heart is much too fickle. The “deep quality” within us surely is the raw yearning for something bigger than ourselves; yea, much bigger, though never gregariously overwhelming. Just what *is* this common denominator? It can only be one thing - and let all nature and the universe attest - that deep and abiding longing for God Himself, our very Creator and Sustainer. It is a foretaste of the coming uniting with Him and the Son in Oneness forever and ever. Ode to Joy, indeed.
