Uhm, it'll be difficult to transport the situational humour from a twitter stream.
A lot of it hinged on the fact that the orchestra members were supposed to call a prospective candidate to ask whether they accept, and a bunch of random people were apologizing on twitter for delaying the process because they supposedly just rejected the offer. Some proposed to exclude the violists from the vote in order to make the process easier, and other typical musician jokes.
Some spread rumours that certain soccer coaches were called. Others proposed to do prank phone calls with certain candidates. Others proposed that having a conductor was old fashioned and that they should go with the times and become an anarchic collective. Some jokes making fun of Thielemann's old fashioned-ness... Some official TV station twitter accounts posted lame music jokes and ancient puns based on composer names.
