The premise is already wrong. No orchestra can play Beethoven's 9th symphony in 40 minutes, this piece is longer than an hour.

[–] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe it's longer than an hour if only 80 players play it. This is 120!

I read that as one hundred twenty factorial. That's a LOT of players!

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

More players than atoms in the known universe

[–] elephantium@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

More players than you could shake a stick at!

...wait, ask the conductor first.

CDs were designed to hold 72 minutes of music to accommodate Beethoven's 9th

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Snopes says this is "undetermined" (also that CDs hold 74 minutes). Honesty pleasently surprised by how plausible it is from the given evidence though, I was expecting this to turn out to be definitively a myth.

[–] g_the_b@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, just checked and the Wikipedia says it's a myth!

I prefer a flanger and a 200 ms delay
