In the days before recorded music, I wonder if nobles ever instructed their chamber musicians to play their latest favorite song like twenty times in a row.
Fun fact: Yes. Yes, they did.
Nobles were the only ones that really listened to music and to hear it you had to actually go to a concert. There wasn’t a such thing as background music yet, and whenever there was music people would listen intently. If a piece was particularly stirring, they would give a standing ovation and they would have to play the same piece over again. I suppose this would happen more than a few times so, maybe not twenty times in a row, but close.
Honestly, what better thing did they have to do with their lives anyway?
What about a terrible song over and over but with another song played once in the middle
“Bard! I wish thee to play ‘What is newe, O Pussy Catte’ twenty times! But, hark! After the seventh play, play ONE ‘It bee notte unusual’”
