"Life Without Music Would be a Mistake" Friedrich Nietzche, in Twilight of the Idols (1989) "Music hath charms to soothe a savage breast, To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak." William Congreve, dramatist (1670-1729) Here you will find some musings on the nature of piano technique and how to acquire it, a clear connection with martial arts; a list of original compositions, most not involving a piano; an essay on mathematical patterns in musical compostion, an essay on music as language, a brief bio and a complete list of the works of Anton von Webern, a brief bio and rather incomplete list of the compositions of Stefan Wolpe, a brief bio and a list of the compositions of Raoul Pleskow, and some links to music resources. I'd like to thank Michael Somos and Anne Whitefield for proofing some of the longer html files here, Kyle Gann for attribution of the Nietzche quote above. All remaining errors are, of course, my fault. I'd also like to thank Alan Bellamente for aid in compiling the list of Webern's compositions. Culture is the habit of being pleased with the best - and knowing why.

You are HERE >> Music : General Classical Composer Profile: Guiseppe Verdi by Betty Fry December 29, 2001 Amazon Products Verdi - La Traviata / Levine, Stratas,... Giuseppe Verdi was born in 1813 at La Roncole, a small village near Busseto in the Duchy of Parma, Italy, where his father ran a modest general store which also served as the local tavern. But ill educated as he was, his father soon recognized the outstanding musical talent in his son and consulted Antonio Barezzi, a Busseto merchant known for his generosity and musical enthusiasms. With the help of Ferdinand Provesi the cathedral organist, Barezzi assumed responsibility for young Verdi who flourished in his new environment, and by the age of 16 he had started to deputize for Provesi; had a number of his own compositions performed; become a member of the Barezzi household; and was very attracted to their eldest daughter Margherita. Two years later Barezzi sent him to Milan only to find he was already too old to enter the Conservatorio. However he did become the private student of the chief conductor of La Scala, Vincenzo Lavigna, with whom he worked for three crucial years. On his return to Busseto in 1834 he failed to obtain the now vacant post of cathedral organist. Instead he took a local teaching job which brought in just enough salary to allow him to marry Margherita Barezzi in 1836.

105. Morton Subotnick Biographical essay focusing on electronic compositions with photograph. http://inmc.org/Subotnick.html

Morton Subotnick Distinguished Composer in Residence at NYU Spring 1,999 - Spring 2,000 Morton Subotnick is one of the United States' premier composers of electronic music and an innovator in works involving instruments and other media, including interactive computer music systems. Most of his music calls for a computer part, or live electronic processing; his oeuvre utilizes many of the important technological breakthroughs in the history of the genre. The work which brought Subotnick celebrity was "Silver Apples of the Moon" Written in 1967 using the Buchla modular synthesizer (an electronic instrument built by Donald Buchla utilizing suggestions from Subotnick and Ramon Sender), this work contains synthesized tone colors striking for its day, and a control over pitch that many other contemporary electronic composers had relinquished. There is a rich counterpoint of gestures, in marked contrast to the simple surfaces of much contemporary electronic music. There are sections marked by very clear pulses, another unusual trait for its time; "Silver Apples of the Moon" was commissioned by Nonesuch Records, marking the first time an original large-scale composition had been created specifically for the disc medium a conscious acknowledgement that the home stereo system constituted a present-day form of chamber music. Subotnick wrote this piece (and subsequent record company commissions) in two parts to correspond to the two sides of an LP. The exciting, exotic timbres and the dance-inspiring rhythms caught the ear of the public the record was an American bestseller in the classical music category, an extremely unusual occurrence for any contemporary concert music at the time.

106. Modern History Sourcebook: Music And Nationalism essay from Fordham University's Modern History Sourcebook includes Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March Number 1 in an examination of the relationship between various compositions and national pride. http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/NATMUSIC.html

Back to Modern History SourceBook Modern History Sourcebook: Music and Nationalism Nationalism was the most successful political force of the 19th century. It emerged from two main sources: the Romantic exaltation of "feeling" and "identity" and the Liberal requirement that a legitimate state be based on a "people" rather than, for example, a dynasty, God, or imperial domination. Both Romantic "identity nationalism" and Liberal "civic nationalism" were essentially middle class movements. There were two main ways of exemplification: the French method of "inclusion" - essentially that anyone who accepted loyalty to the civil French state was a "citizen". In practice this meant the enforcement of a considerable degree of uniformity, for instance the destruction of regional languages. The German method, required by political circumstances, was to define the "nation" in ethnic terms. Ethnicity in practice came down to speaking German and sometimes just having a German name. For the largely German-speaking Slavic middle classes of Prague, Agram (Zagreb) etc. who took up the nationalist ideal, the ethnic aspect became even more important than it had been for the Germans.

A dvanced Composition for Non-Native Speakers of English http://eslbee.com WELCOME Subject - Verb Agreement is are Click HERE for answer. This web site is for ESL/EFL students who want to write in English for academic purposes. The material in this site is aimed toward high intermediate or advanced English learners who have never taken a formal English writing course and whose TOEFL score is about 500 or more. The main objective of this site is to help non-native English speakers write for an English speaking academic audience which necessarily includes organization of ideas , the single greatest weakness among many non-native English speakers. Thus, the material in this site begins with the organization of the classic five-paragraph essay, an excellent foundation for all academic writing. (See my essay, Rationale for the Five-Paragraph Essay After organization of ideas, this site also contains reviews of "local aspects" of writing such as sentences, adjective clauses, appositives, etc., including many short online quizzes. While the organizational aspects of academic writing contribute most toward noticeable improvement, local aspects of writing contribute significantly as well. For example, the use of sentence variety including simple, compound, and complex sentences, appositives, and even parallel structure always creates a good impression because it is obvious! Second, sentence variety enlivens an essay so the reader can remain interested in what the writer is trying to say.

Teaching English Composition Resources for Teachers and Students, by John Richard Stevens English Discourse Home English Composition is undoubtedly the most foundational of courses with regard to developing writing skills in analytical and expository prose. The main shift in approach that students are expected to make in English Composition is from book report style summaries to argumentative writings that include a thesis statement and focused body paragraphs that advance the thesis. English Composition II advances the same writing skills that are stressed in English Composition I, but with far more emphasis on the development of research skills, scholarly/academic prose, the successful negotiation of MLA Style Guidelines, and argumentative writings. Demonstrating a progressive improvement in the above skills is critically important to having a successful semester in both English Composition I and English Composition II.
