"The single most important thing for a violinist to keep in mind while playing Beethoven's Violin Sonatas: we are, for much of the time, accompanying the piano." @mcgillu #violin professor Dorian Bandy explores Beethoven's Violin Sonatas. violinist.com/blog/dorianban…

@strohltopia Now that I'm thinking of Eve, I'm starting to free-associate and wondering whether any of the other remarriage comedies do this too... especially Bringing Up Baby (and maybe in some ways also It Happened One Night and Philadelphia Story)?

@DorianKBandy This was the first example I thought of. Glad to hear it confirmed.

Can anyone think of examples of cringe comedy or embarrassment comedy in pre-1950 film?

Mozart's string duos are among his most inventive chamber works, and we try to play them as he might have wanted, with a degree of improvisation and ornamentation rarely heard today in his string music. I wrote about our interpretations for @violinist : violinist.com/blog/dorianban…

@etiennefd @jasoncrawford I have no answers! But probably because I'm not sure what "progress studies" actually is, or why some of the fields mentioned there count while others don't. Tell me more?

What currently existing undergrad courses could be called “progress studies”? Please link to specific courses or give the university and course number. STEM and general econ don't count. I will accept economic history, history & philosophy of science, growth econ, metascience

@ernsterlanson Yes, that's my guess too. Artworks are presentational patterns rather than arguments, so spotting errors isn't just a matter of finding some flaw in an argument.

Good points, a question I am curious about, would it be more difficult to spot these kind of mistakes in art than in science? If I am reading a book by someone supersmart, such as Popper, does your argument become similar? My intuition is that it would be more difficult in an artwork

It's true in theory that if Beethoven can be wrong, there must be objective aesthetic criteria of some kind. I love @ernsterlanson 's argument. But in practice it's complicated Finding a 'mistake' in Beethoven could just mean that we misunderstood what he's up to. 1/
Ernst@ernsterlanson

In Beethoven's sonata, opus 2 no. 1, there is a mistake in most editions in bar 76. The first note should be a Bb flat instead of Db flat. Otherwise, it violates the sequence that is set up starting from bar 73.

With the great composers, especially Beethoven, my standing assumption is always that he's so *astronomically* smarter than I am, that things that look to me like possible mistakes are really just cases where I failed to figure out the actual thing he's after.

Yes, if his goal is to do a simple sequence, a deviation is wrong. But what if his goal is to set up a sequence and then deviate? Empiricism is false; the artwork doesn't give an answer itself. 2/

Academic writing was livelier and so much more fun half a century ago. A hilarious (and true) paragraph by Robin Winks, c.1969, on evidence, observation, and the philosophy of history:
