I am currently working on some pieces from the Codex Faenza! It's one of the earliest sources for keyboard dating from the 14th century.

One of the stranger markings I’ve encountered in a cello part (from Shostakovich’s third quartet): a crescendo through a rest. I suppose i could LOOK as if I’m getting louder, raising myself in my seat? (Funny - the other instruments, who are playing, have a diminuendo here…)

Lili #Boulanger, opening of Prelude in D flat (1911). I'm not convinced this is a fully completed piece but it's a fascinating document, written when she was only 18 @NotationIsGreat
