Summary
“We know Yagi-san is retiring, right? That even though our beloved chief conductor has many principal conductors to choose from to take over his title, he still hasn’t picked one, right?”
“This is all old news, Nemuri, why are you recapping it for me?” As if Shouta isn’t in the middle of all this debate. He’s UA orchestra’s concertmaster, after all.
“Yeah well, there’s rumors, Shou! Rumors that a certain someone from Europe will be joining you as a guest. Does the name Yamada Hizashi ring a bell for you?”
He knows this name. Anyone who knew anything about the classical music world did. Yamada Hizashi, for lack of better terms, is practically a rockstar among conductors. Flamboyant, loud, and a prodigy. First with the piano and then at the ripe age of 20, winning for conducting and compositions. There’s no way he’d come to Japan. …Right?!

Summary
The swell of the music, finally climaxing at the final crescendo, and ending with a final stroke of the bow.
The plume of rosin dust left in the air, the applause, the bright lights, that’s what Max lived for.
He stood at full height, and took a bow. Only 16, yet everyone knew he would be one of the greats– Perlman, Menuhin, Vengerov, Hahn, and Verstappen. He would be up there one day, and it would’ve all been worth it.

Summary
It's the summer of 1946, and the men and women who served the United States are at long last returning home. For classical violist Charlotte Miller, her temporary status as a substitute for her hometown orchestra is over - but it's her first opportunity to audition for a tenured seat alongside her twin brother, Theo, a dream she's had since she began playing.
When everything falls apart in a matter of minutes, Charlie flees home, finds her brother in crisis, and makes a snap decision: she'll masquerade as Theo, win the audition, and call the misogynistic ass who ruined her shot on the carpet. It's simple, the hair is already all over the bathroom floor - and it's so crazy, it just might work. But what happens when Charlie gets everything she's ever wanted? And what if the resulting mess she creates is nothing compared to the secrets carried by her fellow musicians?

Heart of Gold and Lungs of Brass by acutekidney

Summary
The tuba was his first love. Hector spends every Friday evening playing in the local community orchestra in his city, where he shies away from attention (save a few friends') but delights in pouring dedication into his music. Behind the brass, the air poured from his lungs finally gains meaning, and playing in the lower register makes him feel… dependable. Essential.
Then one day, he meets his second. You walk in, instrument in hand, and he curses himself for his irrationally immediate interest in you. And you notice the cute tubist peeking out at you from behind the metal, and little sticky notes with saccharine words find their way in between your sheet music.

Summary
Unlike Riddle assumed, the room was not empty. On top of the piano laid a tall man, with teal hair that had a black streak, his feet falling off the edge. His chest rose and fell slowly, and Riddle noticed his eyes were closed. Maybe he—
Wait.
On top of the piano?
Was this person sleeping on top of the piano!?

Or: Orchestra AU but it's just Floyd and Riddle and the rest of the band is doing fuck all.

Summary
“Why does it have to be about something?” Lando shrugged and sat back in his seat. “Sometimes music just exists.”
“Your music always means something,” Oscar rested his head on his hand and began to examine the notes with great intensity.
“No it doesn’t,” Lando protested defensively.
“Yes it does,” Oscar simply hummed, his eyes still skimming the page.
Lando wondered if he could compose music for how he feels when Oscar remembers something about him. He noted that and pushed it to the back of his mind for later.
“Fine its about the- the greater meaning of joy behind childhood,” Lando scrambled to put together. Oscar raised his head slowly with a sceptical eyebrow.
“Last week you composed music about ‘the way Jenson walks’, ‘Oscar making a coffee order’, ‘Charles playing wrong notes’ and ‘the feeling of my bed after a long day’. You want me to believe you’ve composed a piece of music about the joy behind childhood?”
Right well. When he put it like that.
Or:
Lando and Oscar finally meet after having been in the same conservatoire orchestra for a year. Lando ends up falling in love.
