In terms of Harp Music Opportunities, there's also the Mozart C major double concerto for Flute and Harp 💜

Also, the Lost soundtrack uses the harp extensively and in very original ways

I think you may consider the price of two cars. One for the harp and one to actually transport the harp to lessons or venues! 😂

Really love this content, bet it's going to get big. If I could give a suggestion, maybe try to include more of the actual music/repertoire of an instrument while you're talking about it. For example, I would've loved to hear those harp parts from Scheherazade or Swan Lake while you were talking about them :) (also in my opinion Eine Kline on repeat can get a bit grating). These videos are very solid though, please keep them coming!

Thanks for the advice! When it makes sense for me to upgrade from royalty free content, I'll definitely do that!

[@MaryWhiteWrites]

Very comprehensive! I think I know the part in swan like your referencing. Going to go find it now. Thanks for taking us on your journey.

As a harp player, I think you absolutely nailed this. Excited to see you talk about the oboe!

[@2T_Music]

How did you know? 👀 Oboe is coming down the pipe relatively soon! Thanks for the encouragement 🤝🏼

​@@2T_Musicoh darn, I'm both an Oboist/English Hornist and a Harpist 😂😂😂

[@owenmcneill7746]

Why was Ein Klein Nacht playing in the background when you were talking about what types of pieces harps play?

[@2T_Music]

Because I’m a broke college student and KZbin’s sound library is… lacking 😅
