Nov 28 at 14:24 comment added sfscs In general I assume a question like this is asking for an idiomatic answer, not for people to bend over backwards to answer yes to the question. Like, “can people wear pants on their head?” Is probably needing to hear “no, not really”

Jul 24, 2022 at 20:30 comment added leftaroundabout b) in some cases it's not a matter of allowed or not, but definition. If the question is whether it's allowed to play a waltz in 4/4 then the answer is... kinda no it's not allowed – not because anything stops you from taking a waltz and changing it to be in 4/4, but because that removes exactly the element that causes it to be a waltz in the first place. It's still music, but not a waltz. Similarly, there could be an argument that it is the defining character of a bridge to only occur once in a piece, though I don't think that is the case.
Jul 24, 2022 at 20:28 comment added leftaroundabout -1 from me (even though I don't particularly disagree with the conclusion in this specific question). But please stop posting generic “anything in music is allowed” statements as answers. Yes, these are always technically correct, but a) they are generally misleading without the qualifier that everything “possible” will have an effect on the listener, which may or may not align with the composer's intentions. ...
Jul 24, 2022 at 17:52 comment added Tetsujin I seem to be getting downvotes from people who like pineapple on pizza. I can't imagine it could be a late surge from the sprouts & custard lobby ;))
Jul 24, 2022 at 10:43 comment added Tetsujin BTW, the sprouts & custard thing did actually happen, though by accident. Waaaay back in school, one guy held out the wrong plate for custard & got it on his sprouts instead. They offered to re-plate the entire meal, but he said he'd eat it, just to see. He declared it "OK, but not something I ever need to try again" ;)
Jul 24, 2022 at 10:10 comment added Andrew Leach I like sprouts and I like custard. But...
Jul 23, 2022 at 19:12 comment added Neil Meyer The only people who tell you, you cannot eat pineapple on pizza are the Italians
Jul 23, 2022 at 15:19 comment added Laurence Multiple bridges are a lot less contentious than sprouts & custard! (Actually, they aren't contentious at all.)
