Music, Forward!

1907 · 3 min

A brief, playful magic trick of a film, all whimsical stage illusion and cheerful nonsense that passes in a blink.

Overview: “Music Forward!” is the order given by a lady in Colonial costume, and in march a group of five musicians, working industriously at their instruments. The directress stands them in a row, and taking the head off each, throws it onto a huge music staff and each becomes a note of the scale. The whole bodies appear again, after which the manipulator seems to wrap them up in a large sheet of music, which is then shown to contain nothing. The paper is rolled up again, and a cane is held, perpendicularly, in a horizontal position to the sheet.
How it feels: Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Art, music
Content: No violence, gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
