QUESTION: What was your biggest takeaway from this video and your plan of action for the next week? You're 91% likely to follow through when you write down exactly When and Where you will take action... So let us know in the comments! (Bonus Points if you cheer someone else on in the comments too!)

[@Dillbeet]

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?

[@mattiemusgrove3258]

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.

[@jacquelinea.7575]

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.

[@anaa6573]

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.
