Mr. Phillip Hale, in reviewing the public com- parison of the Ampico's reproduction with the actual playing of Richard Buhlig at the Copley-Plaza wrote: " // is not easy to believe that there was a mechanical reproduction.

Overture *'Dib Weihe des Hause" ("Dedication of the House") ^ Op. 124 LuDwiG van Beethoven (Born at Bonn on December 16 (?), 1770; died at Vienna on Marcli 26, 1827.) Carl Meisl wrote a "Festspiel," which he also described as a "Gelegenheitsstiick" for the opening of the Josefstadter Theatre in Vienna, October 3, 1822. He introduced as characters Apollo, Thespis, the Dance, Comedy, Satire, Farce, Parody, Melodrama, Priests, Young Men and Maidens. Zeus, God, and the Emperor were alike entreated for favor, and the apotheosis was to the honor of the Emperor {^'Grosses Tableau"). When the overture was performed at the great concert of 1824, he wrote to Hensler, the theatre director, asking for the parts. "As I have a larger orchestra, the parts must be doubled." He said that the theatre parts were written in great haste and very untidily by the copyists. Beethoven summered in 1822 at Baden, and was asked to write music for the play. He wrote this overture and a chorus in B-flat, "Wo sich die Pulse." He rearranged the rest of the music from his music for Kotzebue's "The Ruins of Athens," performed at Buda- pest in 1812. Walking one day, September 2, with Schindler, he noted two themes for the Allegro of an overture to this dull show- piece of Meisl. One theme was for free development and one for fugal treatment. Schindler advised him to take the latter ; it might be worked out in the style of Handel, for whom Beethoven had a limitless admiration. Beethoven chose the fugal form.

For Sale by all Music Dealers 455 " bohm claims, the Allegro is now joined to an introduction with which it originally had nothing to do. The overture was composed after the chorus. The sketch-book in which the Allegro occurs also contains sketches of Sonata 111, the "Agnus Dei" of the Missa Solemnis, and a song, "Der Kuss." The overture is also known as "Overture in Handel's Manner." This second overture, "Dedication of the House," is sometimes called "Overture in Handel's Style," and Beethoven himself alluded to it by this name. He wrote to a friend that he had two themes in his mind for an overture: one in his own manner, and one a la Handel; and he was in doubt which to choose. He finally took the Handelian theme for the main body of the overture. This overture begins with a slow Introduction, Maestoso e soste- nuto, C major, 4-4, of a stately and festival nature. Beethoven's peculiar use of the trombones is to be noted. "Except in the first few fortissimo chords," wrote Mr. Apthorp, "he has not used the trombones in connection with the rest of the orchestra, but either by themselves or in combination with the trumpets and kettledrums, as a sort of small brass band which comes in every now and then with a few solemn harmonies between the phrases of the stately theme played by the main orchestra. After this introductory move- ment the trombones are silent for the rest of the overture.

  • John Cage's Entanglement with the Ideas Of
    JOHN CAGE’S ENTANGLEMENT WITH THE IDEAS OF COOMARASWAMY Edward James Crooks PhD University of York Music July 2011 John Cage’s Entanglement with the Ideas of Coomaraswamy by Edward Crooks Abstract The American composer John Cage was famous for the expansiveness of his thought. In particular, his borrowings from ‘Oriental philosophy’ have directed the critical and popular reception of his works. But what is the reality of such claims? In the twenty years since his death, Cage scholars have started to discover the significant gap between Cage’s presentation of theories he claimed he borrowed from India, China, and Japan, and the presentation of the same theories in the sources he referenced. The present study delves into the circumstances and contexts of Cage’s Asian influences, specifically as related to Cage’s borrowings from the British-Ceylonese art historian and metaphysician Ananda K. Coomaraswamy. In addition, Cage’s friendship with the Jungian mythologist Joseph Campbell is detailed, as are Cage’s borrowings from the theories of Jung. Particular attention is paid to the conservative ideology integral to the theories of all three thinkers. After a new analysis of the life and work of Coomaraswamy, the investigation focuses on the metaphysics of Coomaraswamy’s philosophy of art. The phrase ‘art is the imitation of nature in her manner of operation’ opens the doors to a wide- ranging exploration of the mimesis of intelligible and sensible forms. Comparing Coomaraswamy’s ‘Traditional’ idealism to Cage’s radical epistemological realism demonstrates the extent of the lack of congruity between the two thinkers. In a second chapter on Coomaraswamy, the extent of the differences between Cage and Coomaraswamy are revealed through investigating their differing approaches to rasa , the Renaissance, tradition, ‘art and life’, and museums.

[Edited from B.L.Add.Mss. 56544/5/6/7.] Tuesday January 1st 1822: Left two horses at the White Horse, Southill (the sign of which, by the way, was painted by Gilpin),* took leave of the good Whitbread, and at one o’clock (about) rode my old horse to Welwyn. Then [I] mounted Tommy and rode to London, where I arrived a little after five. Put up at Douglas Kinnaird’s. Called in the evening on David Baillie, who has not been long returned from nearly a nine years’ tour – he was not at home. Wednesday January 2nd 1822: Walked about London. Called on Place, who congratulated me on my good looks. Dined at Douglas Kinnaird’s. Byng [was] with us – Baillie came in during the course of the evening. I think 1 my old friend had a little reserve about him, and he gave a sharp answer or two to Byng, who good-naturedly asked him where he came from last – “From Calais!” said Baillie. He says he begins to find some of the warnings of age – deafness, and blindness, and weakness of teeth. I can match him in the first. This is rather premature for thirty-five years of age.

Which has formed a clear specification and strict classification system even teaching materials in Eighteenth Century. Based on the existing material objects and teaching materials, this paper systematically sorts out the variety system of French silk fabrics, makes a detailed classification of varieties, and analyzes the political factors of the prosperity and development of French silk industry in the 18th century. 1. Preface The history of silk in France was not very long, but it indeed reached the peak of the world and was extremely glorious. Especially around the 18th century, which can be divided into four periods. For starters, the country supported silk industry by making policies under king Louis XIV's reign, and then, lots of technique innovations appeared during the reign of king Louis XV. What’s more, flourishing period of silk in France started when Louis XVI succeeded. However, it was the French Revolution that made a huge decline of silk industry.
