20:43 We used to live near a mountain range that was mostly Karst. Part of an ancient coral reef, full of caves, and outcroppings of very sharp Karst 'reefs'. We used to go bushwalking over the range and would often test the Karst outcrops for their acoustics by hitting them with a rock or small hammer. Great fun. Fun fact: My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather was named Ugh. He passed down the art for generations.

I clearly had a cat who was an exception to the alleged rule about cats being disinterested in human music, because he _loved_ Mozart and Verdi operas. Any time he heard the notes from one of their operas over the Sirius radio unit, he would run into the room and leap onto the bed and settle himself down facing the radio with his ears pricked forward. And he knew the difference between their music and the works of other composers, whose music he would either avoid or not listen to intently. Sometimes he'd be up on the bed with me just for the companionship, but if he wasn't sitting facing the radio I could tell that he wasn't into what was being broadcast. He would also climb up on the bench with me or to the top of the upright piano if I were playing a Mozart piano sonata or one of Liszt's Verdi transcriptions, but he didn't care if it was music by anyone else.

About cats and music: my cats come running when they hear bagpipe music. I figure they think they’re hearing the song of their people. 😁

Many modern composers will argue this point strongly. Extraordinarily small notes are not about those notes being played quickly. They are about making certain that the piece as a whole is played slowly. To quote Dr. Corina from my days in college "All music is to be played as quickly as the performer can do so accurately. If you want the music to be fast you put in 1/2, 1/4/, 1/8th notes. If you want the music to go slowly you put in one 1/128th note, and write the rest in 1/4 and 1/8th notes and you have a dirge". In other words if I have to accurately and clearly articulate a 1/128th note, that 1/4 note is going by real slowly even if your name is Petrucci, Satriani or Joshua Bell. This is why you see these "small notes" in modern music so often.

was that Dr O Corina? he was instrumental in early earth Wind sounds? did he tell you about the hemi demi semi Quaver? speed or tempo is completely a matter of taste, you're meant to be an artist so interpret in art the rules are only suggestions, the modern form is all about its visceral state. but still a good melody is king

@@simonhawker9277 I had crotchets and quavers worked out many years before college. And his name was Dr. John Corina (I know you hope I didn't get your joke but as bad as it was, I did) at the University of Georgia. I love that artistic interpretation you are talking about, when all 80 members of the orchestra express themselves, there are no words to describe that level of... beauty. But you and I probably speak a different language, you say "Chunky Monkey" I say "Whip it with someone randomly modulating a sine wave". To to each their own.

I'm sure this was on qi years ago. All classical music is played too fast nowadays.
@sonylivingroom3444

@@treehousekohtao Exactly. That is why 20th century composers started doing the tempo governing technique. Personally I don't know that I agree all classical music is played too fast, but certainly technical ability has grown to the point that sometimes the Bach Cello suites seem more akin to F1 than music. But I also gag at the "rubato" that so many "expressive" soloists use i.e. I can't play that up to speed so I'll just change the tempo as needed to muddle through.

Further, they showed the round when Alan extemporaneously began humming the theme to the Magnificent Seven but didn't play the Acropolis when the whole panel turned taking the mickey out of Steven into a musical number. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

If "you're not really supposed to play" the resonant rocks in the British Museum, it seems like they would not 🚫 tether a striker to the display, as they have clearly done. They seem to have gone all out on that gag. I wonder if their producers think that it's worth it? 23:05

You could have done some research. Warner/Chappel (Warner Music) did claim copyright over the song, and they made a few million off it each year. In 2015 the Good Morning to You Productions Inc. v. Warner/Chappell court case in New York finally ruled (after two years) that the song was now public domain. The QI episode that talks about the song is in series 'B' which was made in 2005, so at the time of production it was exactly accurate. Warner/Chappel was quite aggressive about pursuing the copyright for "Happy Birthday" when it was used in film and television as well as other media without paying the copyright fee. The copyright for songs in the US was extended to the life of the author plus 90 years in the case that the copyright had been assumed by a corporation. That is one of the reasons that song writers will create a holding company and assign the copyright to that company (eg Northern Songs). I note that Northern Songs was sold to Sony Music in two parts (in 1995 and 2009), and since one of the authors is still alive, that music may not move into the public domain until some time in the 22nd century. Many of the facts presented on QI go against what is considered "common knowledge" but when you look into it there's always something in it, like the fact that "Happy Birthday" was copyrighted and that copyright did in fact belong to Warner/Chappel. Other challenging facts are that the blue whale is in fact not the largest organism, and the earth has more than one moon. It is one of the things that makes the show Quite Interesting, but sometimes you have to challenge your beliefs and dig a little deeper.
