A few years ago @tantacrul.bsky.social made a hilarious and accurate video about Sibelius software which eventually led to us becoming good friends. He's now completed the last of the music notation review series with this fun look at Finale and its demise www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqao...

Harmonium, celesta and soprano. Very cool combo!

Caroline Potter @carolinefrmus.bsky.social · Feb 18

The extraordinary Herzgewächse by #Schoenberg (that vocal line!) Fun fact: #Boulez played the harmonium in a 1945 performance and #Poulenc played the celesta part in 1921. Imagine if they had performed together in an ensemble... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qzk...
