My favorite thing I've seen in music is on measure 69, "with force"
Nice
where's that?
Con forza!
I once gave instructions to “have an actual social interaction you bitch”, then forgot about it and showed the sheet music to my friend without reading it over
Edit:grammar
Oh
Lovely
My freshmen year of highschool the choir director gave us a piece of music with the notation "pp very soft." The next day he took that piece away
💀
if he kept it then it would be played for generations at that school
How is this possible when the only dimension is the erection dimension (for vocalizing/dancing banana and timpani)?
I've had some golden instructions in my music as well, being a tuba player.
"ASSES" is a classic part name
Once on a really loud and low note it just said "Baltic sea ferry".
"Put instrument on shoulder and fire like a rocket launcher"
On music I arranged myself I made sure to put "with murderous intent" in the cello part.
Thank you for recognizing the murderous intent we cello's have!
@@solgaleo3724 I don't transcribe death metal without actually having death in the sheet music.
I'm surprised there weren't more Italian bassoon jokes in here.
i misread baltic sea ferry as baltic sea furry and was so confused for a sec
does the rpg one mean you have to switch to contrabass bugle
1:45 Its a dotted natural, it means that you play that the sound of the natural is 1.5 times longer which means more sound but less sound and longer but sound travel but goes out of the music into the ear via the instrument when you press the note on the trombone.

"which means more sound but less sound" yes very understandable
@@n_d_cisive When the comment but the like when the heart but it means that when you post the comment the answer is the wrong answer but no is the comment when you see how the comment is commenting but really it just comes down to the commenter when they comment on the comment but it is called reply but is the lack of caring that it’s so cringe when the commenter likes.
Although the comment you commented was in fact not quite easy to understand the satisfaction that understanding it gave me satisfaction and made me satisfies but I was actually not very satisfied because I had spent a lot of time trying to understand the comment which was not very satisfying but thanks to my hard work of trying to understand what you had commented paying off I was at the end quite satisfied thanks to finally after so much hard work and toil and moil and toilsome moil being able to finally understand what your comment that you had commented meant after trying to understand what you had meant by your comment which you had commented.
@@n_d_cisive well you see, it makes sense if you think of it in the way that when you press the key, it opens the valve and the sound comes through, meaning that it is therefore louder when it's quiet
5:54 I've actually seen this musical. It's called "seussical" which is a musical with different dr Seuss characters that'll make you wonder afterward whether or not taking those gummies was a good idea. Gertrude is a bird in this play with a "one feathered tail" and the pills are for making her tail grow. And the bird girls are other characters in the play from another dr Seuss book. Some useless info for ya. If you wanna take an acid trip without being on drugs, I'd recommend watching seussical. Thank me later :))
Was (one of) the school musical(s) at my school last year!
It's got great music though!
The Cat in the Hat STOPS TIME in this play. It's fucking insane.
@@basicallyblobbity4226 W-why?
I performed in a Production of Seussical: The Musical when I was younger!
1:22 that looks more like electrical engineering than music
I'm pretty sure I've wired some bridges like that, but if you want to do it you're gonna need a good conductor
I can understand circuit diagrams if i'm given enough time.
I don't know what the fuck that is.
I guess I can see some logic gates, if I squint enough.
I'd say theoretical physics.Those look like alternate timelines!
Looks more like a railway diagram to me
Thank you for the viewer discretion advisement! Rather than be offended, annoyed or disgusted by your video (likely resulting in a dislike), I can just not watch it. Brilliant!

04:20 - Black MIDI's much-hated stepkid, the sheet music equivalent.
The last half of Rush E on sheet music
that's actually why it's called black midi! because it appears as a big black mass when translated to sheet music
@@daveslamjam yup
Oh hey, Kat! Didn't expect to find you in this corner.
I'M EVERYWHERE~!!
More seriously, as a lifelong music lover and having been a musician myself, I love stuff like this.
3:25 that's a note, in the arrangement editor. you can't do that. it's like having piano sheet music with one giant note in the middle of the page.
i thought it was cause it said e sharp
@@nicholasspring that's just F 🙂

1:27 has me giggling because we’re playing that piece and I laughed at that with my section for the entire rehearsal.
I had to edit the time stamp because i included the wrong one!!
WHAT PIECE HAS PI OVER 26 PLEASE
Kentucky 1800 moment
what piece is it how the hell do you play something in pi 26 😭😭
@@thecertifieddoctor idk if the time stamp worked lmao, there was a part of the video where the notation was “I’m said and lonely” or something along those lines. It’s a piece called Kentucky 1800 lmao
@@slowlybooming oh yeah it works now idk weird
i saw the "horse whinny (valves half-way)" and immediately knew it was "sleigh ride" LMAO, I had that part for my last christmas concert
The sleight ride trumpet horse whinny is infamous imo. That and the whip crack with the clapper in the percussion section
Same.
*Slay ride
Yeah, we’re doing some Hanukkah song in band this year and one of the trumpets is going to do a horse whinny sound. It’s actually kinda funny to listen to while we’re practicing, I play the xylophone for that song and I have to stand right behind the person playing it lol.
@@baileyshep1644I don't even play Trumpet. but I could tell it was Sleigh Ride immediately. Lol
As a progressive rock musician, I see these notations on drum notation all the time and it’s a completely normal experience for me as a drummer.
as a progger i can confirm our music does not make sense
Holy shit this video blew up
So uhhhhhh to the newcomers
Please check out my other stuff I made some songs and some shitty covers from when i was 13 or sth please check them out
Ok
you've sold me
6:20 WHAT THE F-
since when, why?! but I'm glad
Do more of this shit (the banana was too damn funny for what it was 💀)
You’re an adult. You can laugh at what ever you want. Life’s too hard not to laugh at things.
"Lesbianly. I don't know if I should laugh at this"
I don't know if this counts but as a bi woman, I personally found it hilarious so I feel like you're in the clear.
As a lesbian, i agree
as someone who uses all pronouns, he is in the clear
As a male, I can confirm he can laugh at that
as a firm believer that jokes only really can become funny when you make fun of something, I confirm he can laugh at that.
As someone who knows "lesbianly" isn't a real word (which makes it funny) and anyway would probably not usually describe music (which makes it funnier) while not alluding directly to, say, a harmful stereotype (like it doesn't seem to mean "play roughly, badly, in a way that's predatory to women and threatening to men" or whatever)...
And as a lesbian lol, I just enjoy mincing words on the internet...
This checks out.
The “Gertrude popping pills” thing is from Seussical. I was in that show last year and let me tell you, it is a wild trip of a musical. The reason she’s taking pills in the first place is to grow a tail.
Guess I was right all along about the weirdness of musicals
Now I wish I saw it the other day when it was being performed where I live
My school did that once. Gertrude was dating Horton irl. They broke up.
the lyric in 6:00 is basically 1 to 7 in japanese. with 一 (いち)、ニ(に)、三(さん)、四 (し)、五(ご)、六(ろく)、and 七(しち) as their kanji (in order). and please do remember that there are multiple ways to read the same kanji!
Ichi na San nya, arigato
@@krystofkarda4170one two three meow, thanks
For those wondering the name of the piece is black angle by George Crumb, it is also terrifying but in a good way
The funniest ones to me are the ones where it has the most over-descriptive and complicated description for playing up the top like "Slowly, yet sporadic, akin to (but not entirely like) a small creature carefully observing their predator, considering whether to flee or not, along with some undertones of anxiety and fear, with perhaps a mere hint of calm." but then it's just a bunch of rest for like half the song.
3:12 is when composing software users try to get the piece to slow down and speed up perfectly
“hello and thanks for coming to my piano concert. ok let’s begin.”
*the sheet music at **6:21** but played in real life*
Yeah this just looks like MuseScore trying to figure out gradually changing tempos from a MIDI file.

1:35 The horse whinny is actually a trick that us trumpeters use! (half valve yes). In orchestral recordings of "sleigh ride" you may hear it in use.
I’ve heard it with clarinets at well!
That's actually the sheet music for "Sleigh Ride", too.
I saw the Black Angels score and I was just like “oh yeah lol”. Prep for music theory grad school has rotted my brain’s ability to be threatened.
George Crumb ruled. Requiescat in pace, you absolute king.
I thought this was gonna be about a actual threatening notation...
AND I'M SO GLAD IT'S NOT lol.
5:50 gotta love that chaos of seussical
I actually played Gertrude when my local theatre did it back in 2017, so this was a welcome surprise.
It’s fucking crazy lmao, our high school did it a few years ago
Idk if i should be proud or ashamed that I recognized the song at 1:58
Absolutely not. It's a timeless classic.
personally think it is a masterpeice
No shame in knowing a true masterpiece

Fun fact: when I was like 14, I tried to write the most complex piece of music I could think of. It was basically that piece that's all 128th notes, except I tried to slip in a few 256th notes as well.
It was also unreadable garbage because I hand wrote that bitch using standard lines paper instead of staff paper.
It was also in 4/4 at 200bpm. So theoretically it WAS playable, if you could read it and count it. I was still too young to think in time signatures and instead made up for it with sheer note density
You think 256th notes are 200 BPM are playable!? Am I misunderstanding something?
@@landrypierce9942 I said theoretically. I didn't say practically or realistically.
@@princealigorna7468 Not even theoretically. Even 32nd notes at 200 are approaching impossibility. 256ths at 200 BPM would be 213 notes per second. Your instrument would probably catch on fire.
@@landrypierce9942 Damn, I really was a dumb kid.
Are you sure about the 32nd note thing though. Pretty sure most death metal and grindcore bands do that in their sleep. 16th notes at 200 bpm for them is considered playing slow
@@princealigorna7468 Not dumb, just a regular kid. I was doing the same things.
As for death metal bands, I have no idea what kind of things they’re doing these days.
6:20 i love this part lmao
Lmao 😂

5:22 I think I just predicted Norway's ESC 2022 entry...
PFFT
2:38 skill issue, that's exactly one of the reasons I love avant-garde music smh
Same
6:49 I know this piece! It's by Terre Thaemlitz, an experimental musician and artist who is probably best known for her house music under the alias DJ Sprinkles, and there's actually a pretty pointed conceptual angle to it about art as labour, which is part of why the minimum performance length is ever so slightly too long to fit on a normal CD. I've heard part of the definitive version on Soulnessless, and it's… strangely relaxing?
7:33 Hansel and Gretel is a wonderful opera, and the evening prayer is even better in the overture, where the horns get to play it. No dissing the opera writing Engelbert Humperdinck (you can diss the one who named himself after him though).
I like this! It feels pretty professional and funny
1:26 Hey, I've played that piece. That specific section appears in a collection of three american folk songs called "Kentucky 1800"
Where can I listen to a pi/26 time signature?
2:24 Quiet sobs are heard from the wind section. The entire low brass section is drinking whiskey straight from the bottle. A single gunshot rings out from the violins.
_Why are composers always so aggressive_ 😭
The "Horse whinny" at 1:34 looks like the sheet music my school band used to play Sleigh Ride by Leroy Anderson
Yeah it’s not even weird, it’s in a lot of pieces
that is 100% sleigh ride. look at the last notes
2:49 As a percussionist, I have always assumed that all flute parts have this since I've never met a flute that can keep a steady cadence 😂
came here from the actual Threatening Music Notation account
3:34 male oboist watching this video:
*I know what must be done*
On the labelling C as A. My electric keyboard is labelled that way, one of my roommates borrowed it without asking (he didn't know it was mine) and labelled all the keys incorrectly. I left the labels because I find them funny.
This guy is so good… he can hold a thirty-second note for thirty seconds! For those of you who either don’t know music or can’t do math, each measure lasts for 16 minutes.
7:46 is from the musical Rock of Ages, and with the scene its from i can definitely believe that would be on the sheet music ahaha 'Come on feel the noise' was also on page 69
3:26 a note is in the playlist instead of a track or something idk i dont use fl
also great video, keep up the grind and you’ll blow up someday
yeah, it's a note in the playlist, not in the MIDI editor
3:36 I still can’t get over “the first violinist takes off their mask to reveal another, smaller, first violinist”
The best part is how many of them were instantly recognizable: Rautavaara’s first piano concerto, Sleigh Ride, and Black Angels just have such iconic notation for instance
Edit: Almost forgot about the PepperCoyote song in there too
Oh my god, I'm so happy. I didn't expect to see Little Shop in this. 1:09 if you don't know. I was the lead in that musical my senior year, it's so fun.
LSOH MENTIONED
oh my god 5:57 is from seussical! thats was the first show i was ever in and for context gertrude mcfuzz is in love with Horton the elephant and to get his attention she takes pills that make her tail grow and the bird girls are a small ensemble group
great video :D
the small bfb references were like a cold glass water to my face lmao i love it
Yea lol
*Gelatin! Why do you always have to act like you're six years old?*
2:13 “suddenly very gay” also musical theatre in general.
Do you guys want to see a part 2 of this? Let me know here in the comments!
sure
Absolutely
Yes!!
Yes
I absolutely do.
Ah yes the good old ass clarinet.

5:52 That's from Seussical. I never realized how weird it would sound out of context
WE NEED MOREEEE! You do this so well!
If anybody was wondering about the sheet music at 6:20, that is sheet music for a SYNTHESIZER, and it sounds less like music, and more like the enviromental sounds for a cyberpunk rpg that takes place in the internet.
Who wrote this?
What some does the guy sing tho?@@AndreaColombo-fx1wh
6:59 is just old notation! In more or less the early 1600's, back when they were still getting used to round noteheads instead of square ones, a lot of people would write the key signature accidentals on all possible octaves in the staff. So for example, G major in treble clef would have its usual sharp on the 5th line, but also a sharp on the 1st space! You can still see this in editions from that period in imslp! Eventually, the doubled accidentals were dropped for cleanliness and elegance.
Yup, this score is from Monsieur Couperin!
(ik cuz I'm the one who submitted this lol)
4:57 I used that tempo once due to midi problems. the real tempo was derivating from 150, but i dont remember why it took me to 114.57 too. But I had to use it and that's all!
I've played the piece with "I'm Sad and I'm Lonely" written on it, it's called Kentucky-1800 and I can confirm that my friends and I were laughing at that
Ah crap, can't believe I didn't recognize it! Played that a few years ago
Pffffffft lol. I only wish there were full notes on the Twitter about where each of these songs come from just to prove they’re real.

2:34
is an effects collage by Steve Vai. Think it's Alien Water Kiss but not sure. It's a joke, not real notation.
2:55 Black MIDI - Sheet Music Edition
i actually played the piece that said "I'm sad and i'm lonely". the song is westridge overture and the premise is that its compilation of folk songs from the south
There is a piece called music for revolution where the sheet directs you to gauge your eyes out over a period of 5 years.
5:57 THE TINKLE OF CONTAGION
bfb 6: 7:56 was my favorite part
Bro you are legit hillarious. Im so glad i stumbled across you XD
This was fun! I hope to see more one day!
These are like reading the funniest Sims patch notes, thank you
7:25
Tony AND Jeff?
Someone's been playing EarthBound.
2:06 I didn't even NOTICE that... ...Because I was busy wondering how A is ALSO Ab AND A#!!!! 😂😂😂😂
This made me remember that pic of the rests that just kept getting faster, no notes just anxiety
This piece is called, ‘Anxiety’.
It’s just silence, but it keeps getting faster…
Seeing this one year later, I need a second part.
3:00 rautavaara piano concerto no.1, also good to hear
3:24 Joke is, the note is in the track overview rather than the piano roll. The track doesn't have any patterns with notes in them; that one note *IS* the track
We need a sequel to this!
4:11 that’s how i sing when people are around. it makes it much easier for me to not let people hear, and even if they do, they won’t hear the lyrics at all
1:17 They really got their music looking like a subway map
2:04 that had me raging too 😂
You are not alone 😂
Sometimes, I see notation that just should not exist, know that people will have to learn and perform it, brush my hands of it, and feel grateful that I am merely a vocalist.
There’s the twinkle of contagion, the tinkle on the cymbal, and the attachement thimbles.
5:58
" don't you mean the _tinkle_ of contagion? "
i got legit scared when you pronounced the tones in a perfect italian accent
For the fl studio one, the playlist (what is being shown) if for audio tracks and midi patterns. That E6 is from the piano roll, where the actual notes go and form a midi pattern
lol I played the part at 1:35, it's a technique for trumpets in which you half-press the pistons and "shake" the trumpet in order to make a sound similar to a horse, it's used in some christmas pieces (like sliegh bells ride or similar) to represent the horses carrying Santa's sleigh (even tho i thought they were reindeers...hmm...)
6:20 this song is very beautiful hahahha
I can relate to the ASS clarinet because I play bass clarinet and sometimes it gets cut off on my music 😅
2:00 fun fact, that song was in an album commissioned by the toy company bad dragon
I recently discovered Bad Dragon's youtube channel. It is hilarious.
I can’t even read normal sheet music, and this terrifies me.
Being a band geek myself, I'm gonna say it was all hilarious and relatable
TV BEEFY DIE 😮😮😮😮😮😮 0:05
at 3:00 i love his piano concerto, its do good for just smashing the keyboard, first with just the hand then with your forearm. plua the crazy glissandos too
Rautavaara has a controlled sense of madness, and I love it lol
In the arrangement of Seven Nation Army I play in marching band, the second line is enclosed in a repeat with a note above it that says "Play until audience passes out"
6:08 That is a real song.
1:35 sleigh ride moment
5:58 “hah, you mean tinkle of contagion?”
I believe "Gertrude keeps popping pills" and "bird girls" is from Seussical, the Doctor Seuss musical? So that helps explain the absurdity of that somewhat, if my memory is correct.
Edit: Yeah Getrude McFuzz is a one-tail-feathered bird who's taking pills to grow more tailfeathers bc the other birds were bullying her, and she ends up with so many tailfeathers that she can't do anything without it being a hassle, and I know that bc I did stage crew on Seussical Jr. in intermediate school
6:28 Music 2
RIP George Crumb
3:24... it should be on piano roll, WHY TF IS THIS SO FUNNY!?!?!? LMFAO
oh the horse whinny is the trumpet part on sleigh ride, that's a classic
