Whatever the NTT is, it's gorgeous. about 1/3rd of the excerpt is a dominant pedal, which when you're dealing with half a minute is tough!

Gorgeous melodic piano writing with fairly traditional harmony and early Romantic figuration. A very pastoral sound... I don't recognize it, though, so I don't think this is Chopin; I'll guess Mendelssohn, Schubert, and early Schumann (either one).

This was an amazing journey through the wild world of classical music Instagram ads. I was getting tons of ads for these kinds of off-brand/fake competitions for a while. But I must have skipped through them too fast, because they're mostly gone from my advertisement algorithm these days.

Yes and I think I've been nursing the algo by taking all these screen shots!

I presume the most successful & effective of those ads was the one for Julian Bliss, because of course you’re going to click through to hear some clarinet music.
