It's a shame we couldn't hoist it high in Stw

Only picking 1830-1905 because the romantic period of music was from around 1820-1900 and that's my favorite musical period because it was revolutionary in the evolution of the double bass (My main instrument). Before the romantic period the bass was used to either double the cello or have uninteresting parts because nobody thought that a bass player could play anything fast or hard. Two fine gentlemen, Domenico Dragonetti and Giovanni Bottesini were virtuosos with the bass and wrote several solo works in which the bass plays both fast and high (Highest I've seen written is a G8, however the bass transposes an octave lower so it sounds G7, far beyond the typical range of the instrument [E1-C4 or C1-C4 with an extension]). I owe everything the bass is considered today to those two men. I also am a fan of other romantic composers like Tchaikovsky, Verdi, and Beethoven (In that order) and I feel like that would be an excellent place for me.

Those are the only words to that song I know lmao

The US defense budget is larger than the rest of the top 12 countries (In terms of defense budget) COMBINED. They would have no issue with it, with nukes would be a different story, in that no one wins

@Patrick MacFarlane

It is actually slightly different, as in smaller states you can win with 51% and get 2 out of 3 votes etc. @Ryan Miller

I think the electoral college should stay but it shouldn't be winner take all in a state, the votes should be divided based on the popular vote in that state

There is no valid reason to not have single payer.

I say that if they get bailed out they should have to pay it back and after multiple occasions have to pay like 10% more back and then if even more occur, it would be shut down, but really the government should own them anyway

But it is here in the first world (or at least everyone can afford or the minimal expense)

In the US it's so expensive that most people get loans that they likely won't be able to pay back for a long time. It's either be crippled by debt or stress your brain to insanity in high school to try to get enough scholarships to pay for it.

My education should not be someone else's profit

an orchestra can ALWAYS get by without a section of any of the listed choices

It can get by but it's always terrible without them all (Except harp since it's rarely used unless it's in a very large symphony). Without Violins, no high voice. No Violas? No cool mid range stuff, probably less interesting chords. No Cellos? A majority of the low voice is missing. Plus they sound great. No Basses? The backbone of the orchestra is missing. They sound beautiful if played correctly and when they get cool stuff, it is amazing.

Without them all the music is incomplete, PLUS professional orchestras don't need a conductor at all, if you're good you can do anything without one. The concert master (Principal Violin) controls the start of the piece and the Principal Bass determines tempo most of the time.

Violin is hands down the best. You people don't know what you are talking about?

I know a lot about all the instruments listed (Not too much on the harp). I played the Violin for 5 years before switching to Bass and I consider it the best decision I've ever made. That's just my opinion though

@Micchan I love you

If you pick bass I love you (I play bass)

Where's Samuel L Jackson at tho
