Dagmar Trichtinger-Scharf, a musician who works with plant music, recounts an extraordinary experience she had with her houseplant: for weeks, the flautist had been practising a Vivaldi concerto, playing the same piece over and over again.
One day, after practising, she connected her houseplant to a plant music device and “the plant suddenly played a theme that sounded just like Vivaldi!”.
Dagmar Trichtinger-Scharf recorded the music and was kind enough to share it with us.
See for yourself whether the plant sounds like Vivaldi! -
