Music Playing
There's this idea that classical music
it's something for old people.
You have to behave in a certain way.
You have to wear certain types of clothes.
You have to be kind of stuffy and hopelessly boring.
And none of this is true.
I created The Orchestra app to share my love of
classical music,
to make it more approachable.
Music, of course, is... is locked into time.
A piece starts and then it goes and then it comes to an end.
So you can't stop it and say "Hey, I want to hear that
again." And "I want to see what that guy is doing." And
"I want to understand the relationship
between this and that."
And the app allows you to do this.
You can treat it as a concert 19 0:46 but also you can go in and see what the horns are doing, 20 0:48 what the trumpets are doing, what the drums are doing. 21 0:51 Music Playing 22 0:53 And then you can listen to the players 23 0:55 explain what they're doing when they play this piece. 24 0:59 I'd be delighted if somebody discovers classical music 25 1:02 through the app. 26 1:04 And classical music becomes an 27 1:06 important part of this person's life. 29 1:09 That alone would justify the existence of the app.
