nice but new

I know I know this game looks fun for you

#violaawareness

Just as an aside, the string sections of the orchestra span the entire stage in front of the winds/brass/percussion. As for the violas, they sit stage left, or audience right, somewhat center from the cellos who sit further audience right. This changes in a few works like Tchaikovsky’s Symphony Number 6 where some of the orchestration creates a “stereo” effect requiring the second violins to sit house right and the firsts to set house left. The melody them oscillates back and forth, an effect audible to the audience.

Voila! You have an orchestra.

No longer connects

Used to work and now even after restarting and redownloading the app only connects intermittently. When it does connect, it freezes before you can do anything.
