↑ I've heard the Ensemble 415 in concert. They even played some contemporary music, composer being present. Much more bearable when live and on "period" instruments!
Some Paganini?

Re: Mood music
Just dug up something I meant for this thread.
I loved this atmospheric piece as soon as I heard it. It has a quietly triumphant mood to me. Hope has blossomed into reality. Catastrophe has been averted. Liu Kang beat Shang Tsung. Just this once, everybody lives.

The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

Huh. I watched the video before reading the spoiler and I thought that the big controversy would be "Cultural Appropriations!!!" not Kopjireight Appropriations.

Re: Mood music
Leading up to a song that sets a mood for me now. Through the years I'd stayed in touch with my first girlfriend, even after separating. She'd always struggled with depression but generally made her life work. A few years ago we were speaking and she expressed having particular difficulty coping--even when she got relief from depression, she was so unused to accepting any kind of happiness or Good Things(tm) into her life that it was stressful for her on those rare occasions. I shared this song with her, something that speaks to a person even finding happiness traumatic. There wasn't a lot I could do directly since she was living in California.
A year or so later, I was contacted by her ex-husband and found out that she had passed away from a likely suicide. So now the song has even more impact for me than ever before.
The same band has another one that connects with me and creates a mood, though not for any personal reason.

Although I gave it up a long time ago, when I was in high school I learned to play on a steel-stringed guitar. It hurts at first but you develop calluses over time.

↑ On the right hand too, or did you use a plectrum/mediator?
On the lute you pick the strings without fingernails and you want your fingertips as smooth and soft as possible (notice also the peculiar Renaissance "thumb under" technique):
