To go along with my previous post, I have assembled some signs that may help you determine if you are a music snob.
You know you are a music snob when.....
... you can't watch the ward chorister because it's just all wrong!
... someone asks you which version of Mozart's Requiem you have and it leads to an argument.
... you know how to correctly pronounce "in excelsis deo"
... you actually know what a schwa is.
... you have issues with "musicians" who don't notate their own music.
... you know that a diaphragm is more than just a prophylactic.
... you hear a buzzing noise and spend the next few minutes determining what pitch it is.
... when you say you are headed to a concert, you don't mean that you are heading to the nearest sports arena.
... people think you are a member of the University choir, because EVERYONE in the choir knows who you are, even though you have never been a member.
... you know what it means when someone directs you to the second stanza.
... you can sing a duet of the smurf song in tri-tones.
... you can see something written in IPA and actually understand it.
... you have more movie scores in your CD collection than movie soundtracks.
... your encyclopedia is not the standard one but the musicians set.
... you know that motet is not some kind of gang name.
... songs that end in unresolved sevenths drive you crazy!
... you inadvertently change the key to a song you are playing without noticing.
