Modern television is a fundamental failure of the world wide consumer electronics and software industry. It is so uniformly shitty and hard to use that watching shows in a fucking web browser is comparatively less complicated, which should make everyone feel bad.

We now live in a computng landscape where talking into your phone transcribes the text (generally) better than trying to type it on the on-screen keyboard.
And also copy/pasting text is easier done by taking a screen shot and copying the text out of that than from the original source.

Turns out C.P.E. Bach wrote some delightful little pieces they called "symphonies" back in the day.
You'd think in the 250+ years one record company would have collected them all in one place. But no.

This track is mislabeled as part of a CPE Bach Sinfonia on some streaming albums by this conductor and group.
Does anyone know what it is?

Remember that no one really knows what they are doing but the smart ones realize this and compensate while the dumb ones assume they know better even though they are wrong.
