The Devil's Violinist
''The Devil's Violinist'' is a 2013 film based on the life story of the 19th-century Italian violinist and composer Niccolò Paganini. The film had its US premiere on 10 March 2014 at the Miami International Film Festival. Plot Niccolo Paganini has become a celebrated violinist in his generation and the demand for his public performances is nearly without equal. Paganini approaches his art of violin playing with a special passion which defines both his artistic standards and his moral standards when it comes to questions of art. He considers his musical art to be sacrosanct and not to be influenced by the conventional requirements of living in the real world. The cost of his musical exceptionalism is quite high and Paganini often indulges himself in his private life with excessive drinking, gambling, an opium habit, and visiting brothels of ill repute. His mounting debts have become a burden on his everyday life. When he is approached by a supporter wishing to finance his mus ...

Pattern Dance
A pattern is a regularity in the world, in human-made design, or in abstract ideas. As such, the elements of a pattern repeat in a predictable manner. A geometric pattern is a kind of pattern formed of geometric shapes and typically repeated like a wallpaper design. Any of the senses may directly observe patterns. Conversely, abstract patterns in science, mathematics, or language may be observable only by analysis. Direct observation in practice means seeing visual patterns, which are widespread in nature and in art. Visual patterns in nature are often chaotic, rarely exactly repeating, and often involve fractals. Natural patterns include spirals, meanders, waves, foams, tilings, cracks, and those created by symmetries of rotation and reflection. Patterns have an underlying mathematical structure; indeed, mathematics can be seen as the search for regularities, and the output of any function is a mathematical pattern. Similarly in the sciences, theories explain and predict regu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
