Among the many videos she incorporated into her Best of Twilight Time, this one naturally did not make it. Originally, she intended this to be a response to a question that someone asked some days after the incident during the Friendship Games where the realities between her world and Equestria at large were being merged due to the misuse of the magic she gathered. As she played around in her video editor, she reflected on this video, which was hard for her to come to terms with for a time:
"Okay, so for lack of questions, we get this particular peculiar question from @sunbrst, which goes:
Dear Twilight,
Not too long ago, I heard about an incident where these portals to a land called Equestria were opened around town, thanks to you sapping magic from these other girls at Canterlot High School. Was that cool or what?
"Well, I don't think anyone's ever asked me about it, but here is my position on that. You see, the incident at Canterlot High School was a mistake. I did not realize that in my efforts to understand magic, I would be putting the world in danger. In my opinion, I love science, and I love understanding everything in the universe, but there are limits to how far I truly want to go with trying to understand it. As someone decent, you don't have to do something or learn something if the way by which you have to learn it is going to endanger yourself or the lives of others. Search deep inside you and think when you want to try something. Is it really worth hurting someone to understand why something is? That's why even in science, you have ethical experiments and unethical experiments. It's one thing to understand how someone contracts an infection, but it is another thing to conduct an experiment that could potentially kill or permanently disable your colleague."
With the whole video playing out, she then turned her attention to a second video clip that featured accomplished cellist, Octavia Melody. Octavia had performed recitals, parties, and weddings, even during her short time at Crystal Prep. What most did not realize about her was that her parents were very active in the musics and the arts as members of the local philharmonic orchestra. Active as they were, they did not truly understand most modern music, such that it would occasionally disrupt the blooming friendship between her and Vinyl Scratch, whose parents were active as electronic synth musicians making an honest dollar from every time their tracks were used in a commercial on TV or at a museum in town. The second clip played as such, introducing Octavia to the rest of the Internet:
"Well," said Twilight, "we're starting another segment here on Twilight Time called Class Notes, where we're also going to be talking about music and music theory. As such, my first question this show comes in from @lylyrica, who asks:
Dear Twilight,
Is it true that Antonio Vivaldi taught at a girls' school?
"Well, that sounds like another story for my friend, Octavia Melody."
As such, Octavia came into view.
"Hello, there," she began, "and thanks, Twilight, for having me in your basement today to explain this question. Today's class note is inspired by the red-headed virtuoso of the Baroque viol who is Antonio Lucio Vivaldi. My second-grade recital included one of his pieces, actually."
When she began speaking of what she knew about her idol, Twilight was intrigued as well, for music and music theory were not two things that naturally came to her.
"To answer that, it would be a yes and no. Starting in 1703, even while he was in ministry as an ordained priest, he was the violin master at the Ospedale della Pietà , a convent and orphanage in Venice, teaching music and violin to the girls while the boys learned trades. His curriculum included composing pieces, including many of his masterworks, especially for the students to perform as they became part of the Ospedale's orchestra and choir."
"People knew of his prowess throughout Italy and Europe at large, even catching the attention of Bach who came after him and many others who valued his sacred vocal music, operas, and other such pieces coming into the end years of the Baroque period. Yes, it is kind of strange when you have a noted member of the profession teaching you the basics, isn't it?"
