Das Lied vom roten Jack - “The Song of the Red Jack”
Probably a banger
Dang, how’d you find such a crisp version
It’s Red Jack himself.

This is how I feel about watching videos to learn something versus reading an article or a paper about the subject. I would almost always rather read about it than have to sit and listen to some awful youtuber blab about themself while dancing around the subject I had interest in.
Yeah… I mean I’ve seen some YouTube videos that really helped with whatever I needed to understand, and I’m happy to have that resource so readily at home.
That being said:
It seems these days I have to fish through an increasing amount of clickbait style videos and ads to find one that actually helps! And it takes so damn long to even know if it is going to be helpful because they spend 5 minutes with their stupid intro and then “like & subscribe” and then sponsor ad garbage. Ugh.
Skip the first 30% of every video by hitting the 3 key when you start.
what really??
Each number from 0-9 jumps to that tenth of the video.
This also works on some uhhh… other video websites as well
I’ll take your word for it. I don’t use those sites and don’t want to, even if it’s just to test hotkeys.
Oh nice so you can flip about a bit to find the perfect spot - so handy!
Two minute papers I think does a very good job summarizing and giving understandable explanations of computer graphics type papers.
Vetinari IRL. From Soul Music by Terry Pratchett:
Besides, Lord Vetinari, the supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, rather liked music.
People wondered what sort of music would appeal to such a man. Highly formalized chamber music, possibly, or thunder-and-lightning opera scores.
In fact the kind of music he really liked was the kind that never got played. It ruined music, in his opinion, to torment it by involving it on dried skins, bits of dead cat, and lumps of metal hammered into wires and tubes. It ought to stay written down, on the page, in rows of little dots and crotchets all neatly caught between lines. Only there was it pure. It was when people started doing things with it that the rot set in. Much better to sit quietly in a room and read the sheets, with nothing between yourself and the mind of the composer but a scribble of ink. Having it played by sweaty fat men and people with hair in their ears and spit dribbling out of the end of their oboe… well, the idea made him shudder. Although not much, because he never did anything to extremes.
I am a conductor and pianist with a decent level of absolute pitch who reads sheet music to myself like this all the time, and this description captures the synesthetic experience really well!
The weirdest part in my experience is that it’s easy to listen to an audiobook at the same time because the sections of the brain that process each of those things are totally separate, just how you can listen to music and study at the same time.
it’s easy to listen to an audiobook at the same time
This blows my mind and shows what a different experience this must be, compared to what I was imagining. I suppose you’ve been reading sheet music for a long time now? Almost like a second “language.” Do you enjoy reading sheet music?
It’s just about my favorite activity, yeah! Though it’s best when I can play it out on the piano, it’s a lot like playing a rhythm game like OSU.

I had a music teacher who would read sheet music like this. He said he could hear it, and he prefered it to actually listening to a recording because his imagination was so much richer than what could be captured by a recording.
I thought it was amazing and really envied this ability.
It’s not uncommon among high level classical musicians apparently.
Personally, I prefer Spotify.
I am a conductor and going through the notes like this is recommended otherwise you might give incoherent instructions later.
My son, who is an aspiring composer, can do this. It blows my mind, and makes me think of the scene in Amadeus where Salieri is reading the score and hearing it play in his head.
I definitely don’t prefer it, but I can imagine the music from the sheet music when there aren’t more than a couple parts. Some musicians/composers I’ve worked with prefer listening while also reading the sheet music though.
“Man that b flat fucking slapped” - This guy probably
considering we can see it’s in Emaj and Gmaj that would be a very dissonant interval so I agree

Much respect for that dude. I wish I could read music more than very slowly with a lot of stumbling. I love playing music, but I’ve never gotten that great with any instrument even with lots of practice. It’s just not in my blood. I wish it was.
And reading music like that- it sounds better in your head than any recording I’m sure. You’re your own conductor.
If you’ll notice, that dude is somewhat elderly. Keep it up!
I mean, he probably literally is a conductor, he’s studying it so he knows how to conduct it. There’s lot of variables to keep in mind and the conductor needs to know the music better than any of the musicians.
I wonder if there’s an audible version
When you get old and lose sense of hearing… guess who will still be enjoying music
OP may be meme-ing but this old man will have the last laugh
Fun Fact: They used to print jingles for products as sheet music, so people could play it or simply hum and get the idea of what it sounds like.
that’s kinda clever. anybody who plays it probably is much more intimately connected to it than someone who heard it.
I hate when people in bus read their music sheets aloud
Let John Williams cook…
