Three fixes for classical mode:
1. Louder background orchestra: bg volume boosted 1.5x in
beginClassical so the full orchestra is clearly audible
during gameplay, not drowned out by hit sounds
2. No more impossible stacked notes: buildClassicalNotes now
enforces a 0.12s minimum gap between consecutive hittable
notes. This removes physically impossible simultaneous hits
while keeping 94-100% of notes in most pieces. Flight of the
Bumblebee goes from 206 to 140 notes (still 4 notes/sec).
3. Balanced hit volumes: drum hits during classical mode reduced
from gain 8 to gain 3 so they don't overpower the orchestra.
Orchestra hit sounds boosted (strings 0.7, brass 0.4). Miss
feedback reduced to gain 2.

Implements a full Classical mode with Web Audio synthesizer engine supporting strings, brass, woodwind, bass, timpani, and choir instruments. 26 playable pieces from Beethoven's 5th to Flight of the Bumblebee with 19 minutes of total content and 3,173 hittable melody notes. Includes drums/orchestra hit sound toggle.
Audio fixes:
- Multiply all synth volumes by 3x in playSynth() — previous gains
(0.25-0.65) were 10-30x quieter than drum sounds (gain 1.5-4)
- Add explicit ac.resume() in beginClassical(), startGame(), and
preview to fix Linux/Chrome AudioContext suspension
- Add 0.15s scheduling offset so AudioContext fully resumes before
first oscillator fires
Piece duration increases:
- Beethoven's 5th: 28s → 54s (113 melody notes). Added soft string
echo, extended scalar passages, sustained choir chords, 5 final
chords, and a fff motif restatement
- Hall of the Mountain King: 18s → 38s (117 melody notes). Expanded
from 5 to 8 acceleration passes (0.55s → 0.095s per note), added
repeated finale chords and final sustained chord
- O Fortuna: 22s → 43s (78 melody notes). Added second chant phrase,
quiet string interlude, second ascending passage, extended 12-note
climactic reprise, and double finale chords
https://claude.ai/code/session_01GdFrFqAe9e2DaJ86jZPEZE
Implements the Classical mode with a Web Audio synthesizer engine
supporting strings (sawtooth+lowpass), brass (square+lowpass),
woodwind (triangle), bass (sine), timpani (sine sweep), and choir
(detuned sines). Adds three playable pieces:
- Beethoven's 5th (Opening): The iconic G-G-G-Eb motif with full
orchestral backing, scalar passages, and power chords (~28s)
- Hall of the Mountain King (Grieg): 5-pass accelerating theme that
starts slow with woodwinds and builds to a frantic brass finale
- O Fortuna (Orff): Dramatic choral piece with choir synth, ascending
and descending passages, and climactic D-minor finale
Background synth plays automatically while melody notes scroll as
hittable targets. Scoring, pad toggles, preview, and multiplayer
all work with classical pieces.
