[@claudelapalme4712]

Being a nerd of the worst possible kind, I belong to a closed Facebook group called “Guess the score” where we post small fragments of scores for people to identify (hmmm ... that’s the viola part of the 2nd mvt of Rachmaninov’s 3rd Symphony if I’m not mistaken ...) So today I lifted the two tone rows Alison Brown uses (the one for the solo, and the one for the tag near the end), and posted them as quarter notes for the group to id. I admit I had to give a couple of hints, but that quiz lasted only about two hours before they were identified! Not only that, but someone in the group posted a link on my thread pointing to a tweet where some other guy had lifted the whole solo in exact notation to prove it was serial! Someone evidently nerdier than I (although he didn’t lift the tag). This video has brought so much joy to people like me. Every detail is hilarious. Thank you for taking the time to go “full blast” on this and doing it right.

[@MerleHazard]

Kind of you, maestro! Thanks.

[@iragitlin7549]

[@eritain]

​@@kevinclark8179 Slamming the key up half a step for the last chorus is THE #1 lazy trick for making your audience think the song's ending was exciting. So it's worth spoofing just for that. To me, the bonus joke is that putting it after silence, instead of after the old key, bleeds it of what little oomph it had left -- people with a strong sense of key already know it's a played-out and cynical move, and nobody else will notice.
