Hi yall I have an assignment for school and I chose to research something about classical music. I was thinking about the signature things in compositions from different classical composers. My teacher said it should be more specific what and which composers I am going to talk about. Can anyone help me with it?
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Hello all. Today, I’m going to take the baton from u/TchaikenNugget and write an essay. I know, I’m apprehensive too. What could possibly go wrong?
Shostakovich’s tenth symphony is undoubtedly a famous and entertaining piece. Unlike even the fifth or the seventh, it was the first of Shostakovich’s symphonies that I loved upon first listen. Sure, the fifth intrigued me, but it took a few listens to develop an emotional connection with it. As for the seventh? That took me reading up on the history around it, and a lot of patience, before it jumped up into my list of favourites. Well, six favourites (4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 13 - for the record). It’s one of the most popular symphonies he ever wrote, rivalled only by the fifth and maybe the seventh on concert programmes which feature Shostakovich’s work. I’d like to explore here why this piece works - what it does well, how it does it, and what it might “mean”. I’ll also finish by touching on in a wider sense what it means for music to “mean” something, especially in that individualistic way when it is influenced by experience and chance.
Decoding the meaning of Shostakovich’s work is, obviously, a hard and controversial subject. For example, the now-infamous *Testimony* (published 1979) declares the tenth symphony - especially the second movement - to be a “musical portrait of Stalin”. This description has come under both praise and criticism from musicologists and historians with way more credentials than I have. The general (stress on word *general*) consensus is that the book is a fabrication, not Shostakovich’s memoirs as it claims to be. Nevertheless, I think that as a book about the composer as opposed to by the composer, it does have some merit. But blinding oneself with one interpretation is definitively shortsighted, and does the music a disservice. Perhaps the anguished scherzo does depict Stalin. But what of the Nocturne, or the long meandering opening movement? Do these depict Stalin? My view is that no, they do not. For the tenth, at least not directly, is not about Stalin. It may contain elements of that, due to circumstance and the like, but to me I hear it as a symphony of emotion. I hope to argue here that the tenth is full of emotion, in all its forms, from love and anger to a cautious optimism for the future.
Having said all of that, we will start our analysis with the scherzo. This is the most famous movement from the symphony, undoubtedly. It’s short, frantic, and angry. Given th

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
Or would that be too forward thinking?
At work, I have a workstation.
