The Care and Feeding of Classical Musicians
Hello. My name is Oshitari Yuushi.
You may know me as "the host with the like, totally sexy voice" or "the host who is far cooler than I could ever dream of being," or "that most troublesome guy."
However, I come to you today not as a host, but as a violinist. Yes, I am a classical musician.
Have you found yourself suddenly acquiring a classical musician? You may be wondering, "but Yuushi, what shall I do with this person holding a bassoon?" (step 1, set the bassoon on fire.) Here is your handy guide to your new classical musician!
Keep in mind that your new musician does indeed love music, in all its forms (save for synthesized versions of their instrument(s) of choice,) there are certain songs that, when asked to play, will send your musician curled up into a ball in the corner of their habitat, rocking back and forth and mumbling about meeting their ancestors. I can only speak for violin, but I'm sure that my fellow musicians also have their "do not play" list.
1. PACHELBEL'S CANON
However, if you truly want to hear this, please ask Sakaki-san. He'll be more than happy to accomodate your request.
2. The William Tell Overture
3. Moonlight Sonata
4. Für Elise
5. Eine Kleine Nachtmusik
There, now wasn't that easy? Follow this simple instruction, and your musician will be well and happy!
If my fellow musicians have any tips to add, please let me know. I shall also be happy to answer any of your questions.
