Bibliography………………………………………………………………………………122 i Introduction In his “Literary Reveries” of 1834 Vissarion Belinsky proclaimed, “we have no literature” (Belinskii PSS I:22). Belinsky was in good company with his assessment. Such sentiments are rife in the critical essays and articles of the first third of the nineteenth century. A decade earlier, Aleksandr Bestuzhev had declared that, “we have a criticism but no literature” (Leighton, Romantic Criticism 67). Several years before that, Pyotr Vyazemsky voiced a similar opinion in his article on Pushkin’s Captive of the Caucasus : “A Russian language exists, but a literature, the worthy expression of a mighty and virile people, does not yet exist!” (Leighton, Romantic Criticism 48). These histrionic claims are evidence of Russian intellectuals’ growing apprehension that there was nothing Russian about the literature produced in Russia. There was a prevailing belief that

    10 That Changed America

    10 That Changed America Episode Guide 10 Buildings That Changed America Explore 10 trend-setting works of architecture that have shaped and inspired the American landscape. These aren’t just historic structures by famous architects – they’re buildings with global influence that have dramatically changed the way people live, work, and play. Hosted by Geoffrey Baer, the program features striking videography, rare archival images, distinctive animation, and interviews with some of the most insightful historians and architects (including Frank Gehry and Robert Venturi). This is a journey that will take viewers inside these groundbreaking works of art and engineering. It is also a journey back in time, to discover the shocking, funny, and even sad stories of how these buildings came to be. And ultimately, it is a journey inside the imaginations of ten daring architects who set out to change the way we live, work, worship, learn, shop, and play. Buildings profiled include Frank Gehry’s Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, a Prairie-style home by Frank Lloyd Wright, Henry Ford’s first Model T factory, Dulles International Airport, and the Trinity Church in Boston designed by H.H. Richardson. 10 Homes That Changed America He was a successful lawyer, a violinist, the father of American archaeology, author of the Declaration of Independence, President of the United States, and a self-taught architect, who helped established his new nation’s sense of style. Thomas Jefferson’s designs for the Virginia State Capitol and the University of Virginia became models for statehouses and college campuses across the country. But it was his own home – inspired by classical temples, and elevated on an idyllic hilltop in Virginia – that Jefferson called his “essay in architecture.” Monticello was more than just an architectural statement; it was also a political one.

    Script Listening Program 3

    Non-Directed Music Listening Program Series III Non-Directed Music Listening Program Script Series III Week 1 Composer: Ludwig von Beethoven (1770 – 1827) Composition: Minuet in G, No. 2 Performance: Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy Recording: CBS Masterworks Dinner Classics: The Viennese Album CBS MFK 45545 Day 1: This week’s listening selection is “Minuet in G, No. 2” by Ludwig von Beethoven. A minuet is a graceful dance. A man greets his partner with a bow then, hand-in- hand, leads her through a series of smooth and delicate movements. It is the small steps and gestures that give the dance its name – minuet which comes from a word that means small or minute. This is quite a contrast to the popular dances of today – such as Texas Line Dancing. Day 2: This week we are listening to Ludwig von Beethoven’s “Minuet in G, No. 2”. Between the 1600’s and the 1800’s, the minuet was the most popular dance in which ladies and gentlemen of the court gracefully moved through a series of small but intricate steps. You were not allowed membership in the king or queen’s court unless you had memorized the steps and patterns to the many different minuets. Today as you listen, think about all the dance moves you know. Would they fit with the music? Can you imagine how the men and women looked as they glided effortlessly across the polished floors? Day 3: This week’s listening excerpt is “Minuet in G, No. 2” written by the famous German composer, Ludwig von Beethoven.
