    Verdi is a genius for using hammers and anvils as percussion instruments. It adds some thematic and flavor.

      Excellent point! I grew up watching Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry, Woody Woodpecker and others using classics as background for their sketches, and they became part of my childhood. Later this knowledge drove me to listen to and appreciate the originals.

    A young conductor asked Arturo Toscanini, arguably the greatest conductor in opera history, how to conduct this piece.
    Toscanini's response? "Listen to the women when they do their laundry by the river. They get it right every time."

      To be more accurate, he said to go the Po River near Parma, where the women are cleaning and beating their laundry in the river, while singing. It gives it a little more context regarding the tempo of the chorus.

      Singing was commonly used in all sorts of work, throughout history. Think this song and sing "I've been workin' on the railroad....." and you'll get the idea. I mean, its very likely Verdi heard factory workers hammering steel to a rhythm which may have inspired this piece.

    Wow. I was actually able to find the name of this from ChatGPT. It gave me some wrong ones at first, but they were still songs you always hear in cartoons but never know the name of. So, it was nice for a change.
    As shifty and manipulative and literally sociopathic chatgpt is, I was impressed for once.
    In retrospect, I could have just uploaded an mp3 of me humming the tune to ChatGPT and would have got the right answer off the bat.

      Should i introduce you to Wagner and his famous "Der Ring des Nibelungen" (who talk about the same legend who inspired tolkien to wrote about the lord of the ring? )
      "Der Ring des Nibelungen" is ~15 hours long! I'm sure you understand how wrong you where when saying that a 2h40 long opera planning surpasses a ~15 hours long one.
