Transcendental Étude No. 10 (Liszt)
Transcendental Étude No. 10 in F minor, "Allegro agitato molto", is the tenth of twelve Transcendental Études by Franz Liszt. The occasionally-used alternate title, “''Appassionata”,'' was not given or authorized by Liszt, but instead provided by Ferruccio Busoni, in an early edition. Passage work for the left hand is rather difficult, while the right hand plays the melody mostly in octaves. Other difficulties include cramped spacing (the hands are often close together), left-hand arpeggiated passage work, complex figurations in polyrhythm, and the right hand ascending the keyboard in swiftness using only the thumb, the third, and fourth finger. The étude is in sonata form, with a second group in E minor, and an explosive coda. The climax occurs right after the softest part of the piece and is an octave D played 23 times in a row with rhythmic changes and rapid left-hand arpeggios that constantly change theme. The 1837 version bears a coda which is modelled after the cod ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ludwig Van Beethoven
Ludwig van Beethoven (baptised 17 December 177026 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. Beethoven remains one of the most admired composers in the history of Western music; his works rank amongst the most performed of the classical music repertoire and span the transition from the Classical period to the Romantic era in classical music. His career has conventionally been divided into early, middle, and late periods. His early period, during which he forged his craft, is typically considered to have lasted until 1802. From 1802 to around 1812, his middle period showed an individual development from the styles of Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and is sometimes characterized as heroic. During this time, he began to grow increasingly deaf. In his late period, from 1812 to 1827, he extended his innovations in musical form and expression. Beethoven was born in Bonn. His musical talent was obvious at an early age. He was initially harshly and intensively tau ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Walt Disney Concert Hall at 111 South Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles, California, is the fourth hall of the Los Angeles Music Center and was designed by Frank Gehry.

Both Gehry's architecture and the acoustics of the concert hall, designed by Minoru Nagata, the final completion supervised by Nagata's assistant and protege Yasuhis ...

The ''Los Angeles Times'' (abbreviated as ''LA Times'') is a daily newspaper that started publishing in Los Angeles in 1881.

In recent decades the paper's readership has declined, and it has been beset by a series of ownership changes, staff reductions, and other controversies. In January 2018, the paper's staff voted to unionize and final ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
