When you hear a clarinetist rehearsing a Brahms viola sonata. Lol. 😂

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

Lol.

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

That conductor is sorely mistaken. If anything the violists will only make it worse. 👍🏻 #orchestratroublemakers @michmashhh

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

When you've got nothing but 8th notes, that should be in the same tempo, & the conductor is like "NOT TODAY!"

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

Conductor: We aren't going to run through the entire piece, just touch on a "few" spots. [Runs the entire piece]

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

Conductor: I only do what's in the score (proceeds to all get willy nilly w/the tempo/interpretation) #orchproblems

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

Conductor: We are going to rehearse from 5:30-6:30, break for dinner then concert @ 8. (Rehearses until 7:15) #smh

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

Conductor: I think each section has their own interpretation of the tempo.
Me (in my head): Pretty sure it's just you not being consistent😒

When you realize that you'll be seeing Lawrence Dutton's solo concert in less than a week. #fangirling 😁 https://t.co/qaXaMptxL5

In a few moments, @Johnbrunning presents #SmoothClassics at 7.

Take a moment to relax with some beautiful music...

When you're in class & a vocalist says 'part x' when it's clearly a Roman numeral...#smh 😒 #zeropointsforyou

You were born in the 1990s, you love classical music, and it’s a nightmare. Here’s why: http://t.co/nFJp75gMkc

A Fox News reporter accidentally dropped his microphone *into* a sousaphone. Silly sounds ensue: http://t.co/YOF6eZ77JQ

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

Pretty much sums up when I meet new people and I tell them I play viola. #smh 😒

[Shit Violists Say @shitviolistsay]

I'm a huge fan of Anne-Sophie Mutter but the vibrato she uses for Bach Concertos is just too much @wetatvfm. Using Romantic vib for Bach = 😖

[Classic FM @ClassicFM]

A piano & cello (with lots of vibrato) makes @TaylorSwift13​ sound like a Schumann Fantasie: http://t.co/Flz6B0ouEX
