Paganini Essay

They’ll break . . . my violin . . . I . . . I brought it with me.” This quote shows that the violin is very important to Juliek.

A Religion where spells are acceptable, the earth is celebrated and nature is a basic mold of the major concepts, paganism. The word "pagan" originates from the Latin term paganus which is defined as country dweller, at one point any person not being an active Christian was considered to be a pagan. Pagan followers have a different view on life, such as they believe in the natural forces of the earth, and consciously try to live with it. Another example illustrating how unique this religion is the fact that pagans are polytheistic, but have the one chief god that rules over the others, it's contradicting that a pagan can also have no belief in any one god. An interesting concept about this religion is that you are not told a certain way,

The fiddle. The violin. For the fiddle a family gathers around the campfire as Charlie Daniels slaps his knee in a straw hat and plays the Fiddle, while the sound of the violin fills elegant, royal concert halls. Although these “two” stringed instruments seems like they are worlds apart, they are in reality the same. The origin of the story of the fiddle stretches equally as far back as the violin because they are the same, they have the same past, future and present.

(1) “While music is changed to language, with the attendant change in meaning and while the obsession is still with bringing light and thus reason, the narrator is opening up the meaning with reference to “we” and to the emotional conditions of suffering and delight.” 1

In these few lines, the speaker abruptly switches the tone from bitter to sympathetic. The poem becomes urgent, with a need to know. “The peculiar screeching of strings” characterizes the man’s thoughts, and “the luxurious fiddling with emotion” directly refers to the man’s emotional state.

I found it very difficult to find information on Constantine Brancusi in hard copy, therefore, you will see at the end of my paper that all of my sources are websites. The little information I did locate on the artist was very, very little. Therefore, I combined the small amount of information with some research I found on artists that were strongly influenced by Brancusi.

The violin is the smallest and highest pitched string instrument. It is played by a violinist or fiddler. When playing, the violinist holds the violin between the top of his left shoulder and the left side of his chin as he draws the bow across the string or plucks the strings with one or both hands. The sound can be stopped by placing a hand on the strings. The bow is made of wood and horse hair. The violin is tuned in perfect fifths. Music for the violin is written in the treble clef. In the orchestra, the violins play in two groups. These are the first violins and the second violins. In the orchestra, the violins sit to the left of the conductor in rows. The first violins are to the far left and the second violins are to the right of them. The Concert Master is usually a first violin player, and he or she sits in the front row of the first violins.

My journey as a violinist has been a long haul, to put it lightly. I started from the bottom, and grew my skill set incrementally. I have been through finger calluses, an incalculable number of strings, and countless nights of frustrated tears. Despite these difficulties, that wooden box has imbued me with numerous attributes

They were confident in the fact that everything would be perfect, when I was not. After pacing the floor of the orchestra room, I decided to sit on the risers near my case. As I sat there plucking the strings of my violin, I realized there were only a few minutes until we began our performance. A fresh wave of terror swept over me, and my mind filled with thoughts of tripping on stage, accidentally hitting my stand partner in the face with my bow, and dropping my folder and scattering the pages of my music on the floor of the stage. That didn't even cover the horror I felt when thoughts of squeaking strings, playing during a rest, or forgetting everything I've learned ever about playing the violin. Oh, how I hate

Antonio Stradivari is quite often referred to as the greatest violin and stringed instrument maker to ever live. Much of this credit is given to Stradivari because people simply know his name. Countless violinists have expressed over the years the great frequency that people always ask them if they own a Stradivari instrument or not. The reality is, although Antonio Stradivari was certainly a master at his work, he was not the only one to create stringed instruments and certainly was not the first to do so. People remember Stradivari because of the quality of the instruments that he made. Much of our basis for stringed instruments to date has been, however, influenced by Antonio Stradivari. The basis for Stradivari’s influence on future generations of musicians and instrument makers was shaped by events that happened before Stradivari was born, the perfectionist way he established his workshop, his death, and the physics and name of his instruments.

A person could lose approximately one-hundred-and-seventy calories just by playing the violin for an hour. In addition, if one were to play at a young age studies show they develop better motor skills (Lai-Tong, Brendan). How did this fascinating instrument come to light? The violin has been around for over five-hundred years; scholars have debated the exact origins of the violin. Although, most scholars agree that the violin evolved from the fiddle and the rebec from the medieval period, the early 15th century (Estrella, Espie). In its early years the instrument was not seen as being magnificent, but in time it became a huge phenomena all over the world.

His many works include the “Palazzo di Parte Guelfa,” the “Rotonda degli Angeli,” and the “Ponte a Mare at Pisa.” There is however some debate to whether Brunelleschi was responsible for the original designs for the Pitti Palace. After his death he was buried in Santa Maria del Fiore. However, his tomb was not discovered until 1972 (Lombroso 5).

In the Romano Pitesti case, Tickton-Jones’ Management Team is faced with a situation that is not altogether uncommon in the business world, in that some employees feel that members of the Sales staff are being given “special” treatment by the company. Romano’s actions have probably not been as bad as what has been described to Management, but due to the fact that employees are still trying to find their place in the new, combined company, any hint of “unfairness” is immediately put under a microscope by other employees, and therefore, Management will have to take some sort of action, in order to show the other employees that their concerns are being taken seriously.

When Ida and Urbano Fellini bore their first son, Federico, they must have known that he would be far from a calm easygoing person. On the evening of January 20, 1940, the weather at the seaside resort of Rimini on the Adriatic coast of Italy, was not pleasant. There was thunder, lightning, high seas, winds, and heavy rains; quite a setting for the entrance of one who was to be regarded as one of the greatest film directors in history.
