  • Veronika Vitaitė: Discoveries in Pianism
    Veronika Vitaitė: Discoveries in Pianism Summary The book is devoted to the analysis of the performance skills, pedagog- ical and organisational activities of Veronika Vitaitė, a prominent cur- rent piano pedagogue, pianist, promoter of Lithuanian piano culture. Manifestations of the Professor’s personality in different fields of musi- cal activity, the universality of her works influenced the development of Lithuanian piano culture of the past decades: performance skills, a close relationship with Lithuanian composers encouraged the creation of piano duet, inspired the premiers of works of different genres; zeal- ous work, preparation of her students for international competitions yielded several generations of young pianists; intense organisational activities, long-time leadership of the Piano Department of the Lithua- nian Academy of Music and Theatre, constant supervision and care of training of young pianists of the Republic laid strong foundations for a further development of piano excellence. Thus far Veronika Vitaitė’s intense and multi-faceted activities have not been thoroughly discussed and properly assessed. Whereby the present monograph it is sought to fill the existing gap. In preparing the book, the following works by Lithuanian researchers were used: col- lections of articles compiled by Kęstutis Grybauskas (1984), Veronika Vitaitė (1993), studies of the development of the art of piano by Mariam Azizbekova (1991, 1998, 1999), Liucija Drąsutienė (1996, 2004, 2015), Eugenijus Ignatonis (1997, 2003, 2010), Rita Aleknaitė-Bieliauskienė (2003, 2014, 2017), Ramunė Kryžauskienė (2004, 2007), scientific in- sights of Leonidas Melnikas (2006, 2007), Lina Navickaitė-Martinelli (2013). To discuss Veronika Vitaitė’s artistic activities, we drew on the reviews of her concerts, and to analyse general principles of her teach- ing methods, reminiscences of her former students and a questionnaire survey were used, lessons of the experienced pedagogue, as well as workshops and master classes that she conducted were attended.

  • Akhtamar 216 (15 Feb).Pub
    1 Anno 11 Numero 216 on line 15 febbraio 2016 — CI M.Y. Akhtamar la patria che non dimentica coloro che si sono immolati per difenderla è invincibile «E' difficile essere una madre, per non parlare di madre di un figlio assassinato. Tu gli dai la vita, ti prendi cura di tuo figlio, trascorri notti insonni, ma non puoi predire il destino. Il fatto che mio figlio abbia perso la vita per il bene del suo popolo, difendendo la sua online Patria, mi consola in una certa misura. Fino ad ora io stessa non sono riuscita a superare la perdita di mio figlio. Il dolore mi accompagna ogni secondo. Ogni notte, quando vado a dormire, io parlo con lui, gli rac- conto come ho passato la giornata, e gli dico “ Buongiorno” ogni mattina. È difficile sop- portare tutto questo, ma io resisto e continuo a vivere perché questo mio figlio desidere- rebbe. Io sottolineo il fatto che l’azione di mio figlio non è stata dimenticata e che le autorità del Paese si ricordano e apprezzano quell’azione. Questa notte io dirò a mio figlio che ho ricevuto un riconoscimento per la sua impresa. Si dice che la Patria che non dimentica coloro che si sono immolati per essa è invincibile. Noi non dimentichiamo i nostri figli e ciò significa che la nostra Patria è eterna. Oggi ne è la prova. Io mi auguro che nessun’altra madre armena debba piangere la perdita del proprio figlio» Anush Hovhannisyan, madre di Karen, caduto il 12 agosto 2015 sul confine del Nagorno Karabakh/Artsakh mentre difendeva la sua postazione sotto attacco azero.

  • Uber CEO Travis Kalanick Resigns; Board Says He's Putting Company First
    Uber CEO Travis Kalanick resigns; board says he's putting company first latimes.com /business/technology/la-fi-tn-uber-travis-kalanick-resignation-20170620-story.html 6/21/2017 Travis Kalanick, co-founder and chief executive of ride-hailing company Uber, resigned Tuesday, just a week into a leave of absence meant to quell concerns about his management style. “I love Uber more than anything in the world and at this difficult moment in my personal life I have accepted the investors request to step aside so that Uber can go back to building rather than be distracted with another fight,” Kalanick said in a statement given to the New York Times. The San Francisco start-up, valued at near $70 billion, has been rocked this year by allegations of a corrosive culture that allowed bad behavior and sexual harassment to go unchecked for years. Last week, the company announced that Kalanick, 40, would take an indefinite leave of absence — in part to grieve after the sudden death of his mother in a recent boating accident. But that apparently was unsatisfactory for investors, whose concerns prompted the resignation. The New York Times reported that five of Uber’s major investors demanded Kalanick’s immediate resignation on Tuesday because the company needed a change in leadership. Kalanick reached his decision to resign after hours of talks with some of the investors. In a statement, the board of directors praised Kalanick’s decision and noted he would remain on the panel. ”Travis has always put Uber first. This is a bold decision and a sign of his devotion and love for Uber,” the board said.
