Paradisa Sinfonia Post #01 - (Un)Sight(ly)-reading

[cantacquityou]

 
[Today, in a remote corner of the music room, there is a large, beautiful couch, a couple of very comfy chairs, a few random instruments (a large grand piano and a harp being the centerpiece), and a couple of small tables adorned with decorative trays of little finger foods.

Edgeworth didn't expect more than two people to show up... but, alas. It seemed as though there were more people interested in music than he had imagined. He had expected a small gathering for a titillating discussion of music, but it ended up with musicians and non-musicians alike tinkering with random instruments and/or scarfing away at the (limited) food.

So, he thought he'd try something. A sight-reading test! Why not gauge everyone's starting point? He wishes up scores of the well-known song, Thus Spake Zarathustra, handing it to everyone who happened to have an instrument in hand. With lack of a conductor, he approached the podium and tapped the baton, waving it in the air to signify "start".

If you are unfortunate enough to turn a page to the music room, you'll come across this wonderful rendition of auditory rape.]
























...and Thus Flatulated Zarathustra...

Not us, I can assure thee of that. [she chuckles, even as she ruefully rubs an ear]

[He reaches over to retrieve a lobster roll and pops it into his mouth.]

...Seeing as though you were able to skillfully reproduce what was printed upon that score sheet, I take it that the methods of composing and reading music where you are from isn't unlike our own?

[she's gonna pretend there's no meat around.

She levitates the sheet music and flips through it.] I did not see anything particularly puzzling, so I would assume so, yes. 'Tis different, but understandable. [mostly]

Forsooth, score-writing conventions do change over the years. However, I must admit that these small numbers have me puzzled. [she shows the score to Edgeworth and points a hoof at one of the problems. Looks like they're fingering notations.]
