Assessment of polity and aristocracy

Evaluation of country and privileged Think about Aristotle’s relative evaluations of nation and privileged. Which system does he like? On what premise does he favor one over the other? Is his inclination convincingly shielded?         Different sorts of governmental issues are practiced in nations everywhere throughout the world. It is broadly examined, considered, and rehearsed in various types of organization everywhere throughout the present reality. Numerous persuasive logicians and political specialists of the current world base their insight into governmental issues on the examinations, books and musings composed by decent philosophical researchers of the past. Aristotle, a prestigious Greek logician talks about legislative issues in a succession of books called Politics. In Politics, Aristotle builds up a significance of human greatness by setting out causal standards for an away from of nature of all political way of thinking. All through his perception in the books in Politics, Aristotle sets out the states of an ideal state so as to satisfy the most ideal lifestyle. He states in Books VII of Politics that researching to locate the best system is fundamental to one’s life and underlines the significance saving benefits of ethicalness as a basic objective of governmental issues to look after opportunity, security and bliss. To examine the system Aristotle esteems, it is imperative to interrelate Aristotle’s â€Å"way of life† with the qualities of a system that he would like. This paper will present the six unique kinds of constitutions that Aristotle looks at in Politics, and will think about the basic acts of the systems commonwealth and privileged. The investigation of the two systems, commonwealth and gentry will additionally uncover Aristotle’s inclination of the political framework, nation. Aristotle adjusts Plato’s â€Å"six-overlay classification† graph from his book Statesmen and sorts the six potential kinds of cons titutions into two gatherings; the right constitution, and the degenerate. Under the â€Å"deviant† constitution lies oppression, government and vote based system; and underneath the conceivable â€Å"correct† constitution, authority, nobility and commonwealth remains. Aristotle makes the thought of two sorts of people; people that were of â€Å"nature free† and of â€Å"nature slaves†. He at that point isolates the normally free people into two sorts; the prosperous oligarchs and the democrats.With the three â€Å"deviant† kinds of constitutions obvious, Aristotle tried to locate a standout system by taking the great attributes of the incorrect systems. An investigation of Polity and Aristocracy Polity is among one of the constitutions that Aristotle trusts it to be one of the right types of administering. Country is â€Å"a blend of government and democracy.†Oligarchy is the standard of the couple of, by and large comprising of the affluen t residents and majority rule government, rule of the individuals, while the decision class of poor people. In country, influence between the oligarchs and democrats is shared among the rich and the poor making a level of influence among the various kinds of classes. It is seen as the most steady and reasonable system to Aristotle. Commonwealth takes out the best characteristics of government and majority rule government making a system in which the premiums of poor people and the rich are adjusted. For instance, the blend of the two constitutions is made by including a portion of the attributes normally related with vote based system, for example, an administrative body open to all residents, with different characteristics by and large connected with theocracy, for example, political race to high agencies.

International Law Essay - 550 Words

International Law (Essay Sample) Content: Name of Student: Name of Professor:Course Details:Date of Submission: International Law International law refers to a combination of legal rules that governs interactions among states. It consists of the principles and rules of general application that deals with conduct of international organizations and States in their international relations with private individuals, transnational companies, minority groups, and with one another. It is divided into Private International Law as it encompasses duties and rights of citizens of sovereign nations towards citizens of other sovereign nations and Public International Law, which involves relations among different sovereign states. International law is hugely entrenched on conventions, compromises, charters, agreements, treaties, protocols, and memorandums among others, as it does not have a law making body (Bederman 1). The issue on whether International Law is really law and whether it exists has been a contentious issue a mong International Law scholars with various views emerging. I believe that International Law does really exists. However, it only exists in tenuous and weak form as it is not strong as domestic law. This is because a critical examination of international law reveals that it does not exists and it is not practiced or applicable to the level of the local laws. The first reason for this is that enforcement of international law is strongly and wholly dependent on willingness of member states to enforce it. It is not a matter of contention that without enforcement mechanisms laws are just merely suggestions (Bederman 13). For instance, it was a violation of international law for Iraq to attack Kuwait, as it does not allow invasion of a nation with the view of annexing territory. However, due to lack of enforcement mechanism, other member states did nothing to remedy the invasion as the only thing was building of the coalition by United States to reverse the invasion. It should also be n oted that there is no international police and United States of America only acted as a matter of national interest. In addition, in as much as organizations such as World Trade Organization provide for leveling sanctions against violators of the agreements and arbitration of disputes among member states, in the event that a state ignores the rulings, further recourse does not exist. On the idea of international law is the law of the nations, it is only with the consent of the governed states and not the way Bederman traditionally puts it. There does not exist an international legislature that make new laws and international law is a creature of hodgepodge of sources, such as intellectual treatises, accepted civilized standard...

The Success of the Hatian Revolution - 1004 Words

Revolution is a forced end to a social system or government in order to have a new system. The revolution occurred due to inequalities, unsatisfactory social conditions and political management. Many revolts occurred during the time of slavery but the Haitian revolution was the most prosperous revolution to occur.

Haiti was the first republic in modern history led by people of African descent. Haiti went from being a French colony to governing itself. Saint Domingue was the richest European colony; it was dominated by plantation agriculture and supplied sugar and coffee to the world’s market. Sugar and coffee were two of the world’s most traded merchandise, and Saint Domingue produced massive amounts of the world’s sugar and coffee percentages. This made Saint Domingue one of France’s most profitable plantation colonies. To meet the growing needs of this plantation system, Saint Domingue’s colonists constantly expanded the number of slaves. Thus, the colonial economy fueled the social imbalance that led to the revolution. Haiti had a high slave population; African slaves were brought to the island for trade. In Saint Domingue there was a division of races, there were three major races; the whites, the Mulattoes and the blacks.

Some of the ideas that Transcendentalists constantly defended included individualism,†¦show more content†¦Throughout the majority of their campaign, the idea was overshadowed by the topic of slavery. Despite the large amount of men who were afraid that women would start wearing pants, the Nineteenth Amendment was passed, which finally gave women the right to vote. During this time, women broke away from the tradition of not speaking about politics, which showed the concept of individualism in their social movement. Today, women’s rights is still a huge concept through the Feminist Movement, which pushes that men and women are equal beings. The movement covers many different topics, but in summary, feminists have â€Å"advocated for the dignity, intelligence, and basic human potential of the female sex† (www.pacificu.edu). Due to the fact that feminism advocates for all sexes to have equal rights, which comes from intuition, the movement is directly related to Transcendentalism. After the Transcendentalist movement, movements like Human Rights, Women’s Suffrage, and Feminism have kept the concepts of individualism, self-reliance, and intuition alive in today’s society. Furthermore, a person who acts with civil disobedience means, in the words of Martin Luther King Jr., â€Å"One who breaks an unjust law†¦ openly, lovingly†¦, and with a willingness to accept the penalty†.

In 1998 accepted the first complaint by an equally dynamic company which providing software, programming languages (such as her own creation of Java) and sells market computers, the Sun Microsystems Inc. The complaint that received the DG Group refers to the abuse of dominance made by Microsofts OS market and refusing to provide the information interoperability about the software products provided. This resulted affect disadvantaged and negative competitive companies since they could develop their products were compatible with the operating systems Windows. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“However, the Commission reaching the February 2000 opened Microsofts case, on its own initiative, under Regulation No 17, which was patented as Case COMP/C-3/37.792 which was related to the integration of Windows Media Player in OS of Windows 2000. After a year in August 2001, an announcement of objections (SO) was sent to Microsoft relating to the Media Player evolving, and the Commission incorporated into this an earlier SO relating to the interoperability issue. Microsoft responded to the Statement of Objections on17 November 2000.1.à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ [5] The Commission later proved that apart from the Sun there were other companies had refused this information, and continuous non-disclosures by Microsoft were a strategic target w as the deviation of competitors from the market. The tying of Microsofts media player product resulted besides the foreclosure of competitors, was also reduced consumer choice, on the ground that the other competitors at a disadvantage without it being related to the value and quality. Many are the elements that already show a trend that prevails in favor of Windows Media Player and general technology of Windows. If there was no intervention by the Commission, the connection of Windows Media Player with Windows is sure to be made the purchase definitively in favor of Microsoft and of course there would be the case with a monopoly. This way allows Microsoft to inspect related markets in the digital media, such as encoding technology, software for broadcasting of music over the Internet and digital rights management etc. According to Osterud (2010) à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“The Commission noted that Microsoftà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s behavior should be analyzed in the light of two key circumstance s. And The European Commission has decided, after a five-year investigation, that Microsoft Corporation insolvent European Union competition law by leveraging its too close to monopoly in the market Firstly, Microsoft enjoyed a position of extraordinary market strength on the market for client PC operating systems. Secondly, interoperability with the client PC operating system was of significant competitive importance in the market strength on the purchase of some function of a working group on servers systemsà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ [6] as for the interoperability remedy, where Microsoft has to disclose absolute and exact information on all the interfaces that will allow non-servers of Microsoft workgroup to achieve the complete interoperability with Windows PCs and servers, his expertise might be used in assessing whether Microsoftà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s protocol disclosures are full and exact and whether the terms under which Microsoft makes the protocol specifications available are logical and non-discriminatory. On tying, the Trustee might be asked to examine whether Microsoft has duly implemented the demand to suggestion to PC constructors a version of its Windows client PC operating system without Windows Media Player. Also the commission required it by Microsoft to set remedies in relation to both work group server operating systems and media players. For these reasons, Microsoft has been forced to allow all European users the freedom to choose yourself which browser they want and allow all computer manufacture rs not to incorporate the Internet Explorer or disable it. à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“Specifically for the continuous illegal behavior Microsoft it ordered to reveal to competitors, within 120 days, the borders obligatory for their products to be able to talk with the omnipresent Windows OS. Also within 90 days, Microsoft must make the proposal to issue Windows without integrating Windows Media Player or sell as isolatedà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚  Overall a fine up to Microsoft for abuse of power in the EU market amounted to à ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬497 million. Microsoft is also going to publish commitment today which allows the publication of information about interoperability issues. According to European Commission à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã…“The General Court essentially upheld the Commissions main findings that Microsofts pricing of interoperability information was not compliant with the 2004 Microsoft Decision, whilst reducing the penalty payment marginally from à ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬899 million to à ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ã‚ ¬860 mil lion. In particular, the General Court confirmed that in the absence of convincing evidence as to the innovative character of Microsofts non-patented interoperability information, Microsofts remuneration schemes prior to 22 October 2007 were unreasonable under the 2004 Microsoft Decision. In this regard, the General Court confirmed that allowing Microsoft to charge for merely interoperating with its dominant PC and work group server operating system à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å" the very essence of the original abuse à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â‚¬Å" would in effect allow it to transform the benefits of the abuse into remunerationà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ [7]. Finally, Although Microsoft has violated the laws of competitiveness The Court nevertheless reduced the fine marginal considering the fact that Microsoft had to do with the availability of interoperability to third parties. This judgment corroborate that non-compliance with an antitrust decision makes up important misconduct which the Commission is entitled to sanction in order to obligate compliance.

The Impact Of Pop Culture On The Music Industry - 1720 Words

The 1990’s was a stepping ground for the development of society as it is today. Through television, music, art and technology American social structures experienced huge changes. Gone were the days of the Huxtables where nuclear families displayed perfect, well put together families. 80’s music once filled with electric synthesizers and singers professing their love for their partners evolved into Hip Hop and Grunge music that discussed the grittiness of real life and the human struggle most people actually faced. As the decade passed pop culture continued to influence the youth culture with the help of artists such as Robert Wyland and Banksy who brought in a new enlightenment for the preservation of nature and social commentary of war and social injustices. In addition, with technological advancements and the mainstream use of cell phones, personal computers and the advent of the internet, the teens of the 1990’s began to pave the way towards a more global s ociety. Pop culture in the 1990’s had a strong presence in the development of the music industry as a whole; particularly the grunge and hip hop music industries. Shifting from the usual Pop music that once invaded the list of Top 40’s by artists such as Duran Duran and the Human League, music soon evolved into a darker, more introspective genre called Grunge. This style of music derived from Seattle, Washington in the late 1980’s but was not popularized until the early to mid-1990’s.

Omaha Beach Invasion Free Essays

Early morning hours on June 6, 1944, paratroopers from the British 1st Airborne Division silently dropped and drifted towards the Pegasus Bridge, one of the few bridges that led over the Seine towards Normandy. Moments later, they stormed the bridge with heavy casualties. The Allied invasion of Hitler’s â€Å"Fortress Europe† has just begun (Dube, 2005). We will write a custom essay sample on Omaha Beach Invasion or any similar topic only for you Order Now On those hours, lantern-equipped pathfinders dropped all over the Cotentin Peninsula. Alone and unaided, they were dropped to mark the way for the thousands of men coming in behind them. At dawn, the sea invasion began as an Allied Armada disgorged thousands of troops at five beaches along France’s Normandy coast. Allied forces stormed the shores and battled the German defenses in a fight that would go down as the â€Å"Longest Day† in history. The beach’s terrain proved to be an important factor in the assault (Lewis 2000). Its crescent form is bounded at either end by rocky cliffs and its tidal area is gently sloping. At the western end the shingle bank rested against a stone, which fades further into wood, resembles a sea wall which ranged from 4 feet to12 feet in height. Precipitous bluffs then raised high up to 170 feet, dominating the whole beach and cut into by small wooded valleys. The Germans, earlier anticipating for an attack in the beachheads, constructed three lines of obstacles in the water. This consisted of Belgian Gates with mines lashed to the uprights, logs driven into the sand pointing seaward and hedgehogs installed 130 yards from the shoreline. The area between the shingle bank and the bluffs was both wired and mined with the latter also scattered on the bluff slopes (Gerrard, Bujeiro and Zaloga, 2003). Their troops were concentrated mostly around the entrances to the draws and protected by minefields and wire (Dube, 2005). Each bunker was interconnected by trenches and tunnels. Machine guns, light artillery pieces and anti-tank guns completed the disposition of artillery targeting the beach. No area of the beach was left uncovered, and the disposition of weapons meant that flanking fire could be brought to bear anywhere along the beach. The Allied forces’ plan of attack includes dividing the Omaha beach into ten sectors. The assault landings were to start at 06:30, which was coined as the â€Å"H-Hour†. Before that, the beach defenses will be bombarded by naval and aerial support forces. The objective was for the beach defenses to be cleared two hours after assault. By the end of the day the forces at Omaha were to have established a bridgehead five miles deep into the enemy territory. To execute this plan the Omaha assault force totaled 34,000 men and 3,300 vehicles with naval support provided by 2 battleships, 3 cruisers, 12 destroyers and 105 other ships (Vat and Eisenhower, 2003). However, during the initial attack, nothing went according to plan (Lewis, 2000). Ten of the landing crafts have gone astray before they reached the beach and some were flooded by the rough seas. Some had even sunk. Smoke and mist hinders the navigation of the assault crafts while a heavy current served to push them to the east. The initial bombardment proved to be ineffective. Their mark fell too far inland, thus they hardly touched the coastal defenses. When the landing craft came closer to the shore, the were under increasingly heavy fire from automatic weapons and artillery With the failure of the initial assault, a second one started coming ashore about two hours later. Their mission was to bring in reinforcements, support weapons and headquarter elements. Some relief against the mostly unsuppressed enemy fire was gained simply because with more troops landing the concentration of fire was spread more about the many targets available (Dube, 2005). The survivors among the initial forces were not however able to give much covering fire and the landing troops still suffered in places the same high casualty rates as those in the first wave. The failure to clear sufficient paths through the beach obstacles added to the difficulties of the second wave now that the tide was beginning to cover those obstacles. The loss of landing craft as they hit these defenses before they reached the shore began to contribute in the rate of attrition. As in the initial landings, navigation is still difficult and the disturbing miss-landings continued to upset the Allied forc es. From the German’s vantage point, at Pointe de la Percee, which is overlooking the entire beach, the assault seemed to have been stopped at the beach. An officer there noted that troops were seeking cover behind obstacles and counted ten tanks burning. However, casualties among their defenders were mounting, chiefly as a result of the allied naval fire. At the same time they were also requesting reinforcement, but their request could not be met because the situation elsewhere in Normandy was becoming more urgent for the defenders (Dube, 2005). As the battle progresses, events of the landing were starting to influence the next phase of the battle. The draws, which would serve as the pathway from the beaches to the inner territory, remained strongly concentrated by the defenders. The allies needed to go through these draws to achieve their main target for the day. Also, the issue of leadership began becoming a problem. Miss-landings and blunders in the original plan caused disorganization, and communication between units was compromised (Lewis, 2000). Despite the apparent disadvantage of the Allied forces’ position, continual waves of landings and naval artillery support eventually weakened the German defense. By early afternoon the strong point guarding the draw at Vierville was silenced by the navy, but without enough force on the ground to mop up the remaining defenders the exit could not be opened (Dube, 2005). Traffic was eventually able to use this route by nightfall, and the surviving tanks of the tank battalion spent the night near Vierville. The advance of the initial assault teams cleared away the last remnants of the force defending the draws. When engineers cut a road up the western side of this draw, it became the main route inland off the beaches. With the congestion on the beaches thus relieved, they were re-opened for the landing of vehicles. After the inland infiltration, clashes pushed the grip out barely a mile and a half deep in the enemy area to the east, and the whole beachhead remained under artillery fire. In the evening, the Allies completed the planned landing of infantry, although but losses in equipment were high, because of bad sea conditions. Of the 2,400 tons of supplies scheduled to be landed on D-Day, only 100 tons was actually landed. Casualties were estimated at 3,000 killed, wounded and missing. The heaviest casualties were taken by the infantry tanks and engineers in the first landings. The Germans suffered 1,200 killed, wounded and missing. On the second day, the engineers constructed the first airfield to be built after D-Day, on the cliff near St. Laurent, and this was used by the Ninth Air Force to support the ground troops as, over the next two days, they accomplished the original D-Day objectives (Lewis, 2000). The complete invasion had not been materialized yet, and the objectives of the D-Day were not achieved. Hundreds of Allied troops are still coming, fighting is ominous, and both sides are unprepared. The D-Day, the â€Å"Longest Day† has ended, but the war on Liberation has just begun. References Adrian R.

Tyger as evil in William Blakes The Tyger free essay sample

In the poem, Blake paints a picture of a higher power creating the Tyger. In the first stanza the central question of the poem: what immortal being or force could create such a creature is introduced. The immortal hand or eye references sight and creation by God, or some omnipotent being. As well, Blake asks how God could frame thy fearful symmetry suggesting how can such a divine evil be contained? Blake uses the Tyger to create a sense of something big and mysterious and at the same time having some sort of energy and power. This level of complexity requires the divine creative power of an immortal God. The second stanza uses the word he in the third line again hinting the creator is God, or some higher power. In the third stanza, Blake returns to the creator with descriptions of his omnipotence. Writing what shoulder, and what art suggesting strength and skill required to create the Tyger. We will write a custom essay sample on Tyger as evil in William Blakes The Tyger or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Chase 2 The second and fourth stanzas go on to ask where and how the Tyger (evil) was created. In the second stanza, Blakes use of distant deeps or skies could refer to nother world, possibly hell or heaven as the place the Tyger was created. The image of the Tyger being created in such a place adds another level of mystery for the reader. Additionally, in stanza four, Blake begins to question how the Tyger was formed. The use of the metaphor ofa blacksmith helps the reader visualize creation. Blakes use of the words: hammer, furnace, chain, and anvil are all tools used by the blacksmith. The reader feels the complexity of the blacksmiths Job: the work is hard, dirty, hot, and rough, yet takes skill and strength. Blake ties this metaphor into stanza two where in line two he asks how the creator burnt the fire of thine eyes, where burnt could mean to forge from fire. The fifth stanza most clearly leads the reader to believe that there is a Christian background and basis of Blakes poem. Line three and four most closely relates the word he to God by asking, did he who made the Lamb make thee? Traditionally referring to the Lamb as Jesus Christ, the Son of God, made by God in human form. Jesus Christ was perfect and innocent. The first two lines of the stanza serve as the reaction to his creation: beginning Blakes link to Christian background writing, when the stars threw down their spears, and watered heaven with their tears, referring to the casting down ot the Angels atter Satan rebelled against The reader gets a feeling that there may have been some remorse for creating the Tyger (evil). Blake concludes by questioning the existence of the Tyger, and ties into the divinity of the creator. In the final stanza, Blake repeats the first, but with one word Chase 3 changed: could is replaced by dare. Instead of questioning the ability of the creator, Blake is now questioning his nerve. Additionally, Blake seems to challenge the courage or strength of the creator to contain the Tyger. This line ties into stanza two line four where Blake asks, what the hand dare seize the fire, fist introducing the word dare. Blake is challenging God, asking how dare He create evil (the Tyger). In the final stanza, Blake is re-stating the central question while raising the stakes. In the poem The Tyger, William Blake questions the creation and existence of evil by the use of metaphors, symbols, and relations to the Christian faith. Blake describes the creation of evil as being forged from fire in the depths of hell by the hand of the Almighty Blacksmith. The same hand that created such a divine evil also created the Lamb: soft and innocent, perfect in every way.

The multi-movement cycle is when one piece comprises three or four movements For example, the classical era symphony, sonata, string quartet, and concerto all follow this cycle. THe Sonata-allegro form is a structural pattern used by composers first in the 18th century as a means to organize their music. Some people like to compare It to a basic essay format which has In Introduction with a thesis, supporting body paragraphs, and conclusion that restates the thesis, sonata-allegro form organizes music through an initial statement, development of themes and a capitulation of the original material.While the origins are much older, sonata- allegro form grew to prominence as a defining characteristic of the Classical style as used by Haydn and Mozart and then further developed by Beethoven. First movement Is In a quick tempo. It is based on premise that the piece begins in tonic key, departs, then returns and each key area Is associated with a theme. We will write a custom essay sample on Music Literature or any similar topic specifically for you Do Not WasteYour Time HIRE WRITER Only 13.90 / page Then the Exposition comes in and It Is the opening section of the sonata-allegro form. It presents two opposing keys and their themes. Theme I is in the tonic. The Bridge is the transitional passage that modulates to contrasting key.Theme II is in a contrasting key. And finally the closing section, which rounds off exposition in a contrasting key. In 18th-century sonata-allegro form, the exposition is repeated. The Development, Is second section of the sonata-allegro form. It Is filled with musical conflict and action, frequent modulations, tensions and thematic development, breaking up of theme Into motives. The Recapitulation is a restatement of the tonic key. Restatement of tonic key is a welcome relief following the tense development. The bridge Theme II, in the tonic, and then the closing section.In most cases, there is also a coda, which is the last section of the sonata-allegro form which closes the entire movement. It is common when people listen to Beethoven pieces that once they hear the Coda, they know It Is about to finally end. The Second Movement Is typically an Andante or Adagio tempo and usually one of these forms: Ternary (A-B-A) form or Theme and variations. A theme is stated, followed by a series of variations. Each variation modifies the theme in a new way. Then there is a change of key with melodic variation harmonic variation, rhythmic variation, and rhythm chances.Meter, texture, dynamics, and timbre can also be changed. Then the Third Movement is played. In the Classical symphony, it is almost always a minuet and trio. The minuet is a Baroque court dance In stately triple meter and ternary form. It has a Clear-cut structure based on phrases of 4 and 8 measures. There are two mall sections (A-B) and returns to the beginning. Each part of the structure is a binary form (A;B). Repetition of a section is marked in the score by repeat signs, and in the 19th century the minuet was replaced by a scherzo. The Scherzo is derived from the Italian for Jest, similar to a minuet.It is still in triple meter and three-part form (scherzo-trio- scherzo). It Is faster in pace and more exciting with rhythmic drive. The fourth Inch is a lively movement with the spirit of the dance. Rondo theme (A) returns as a refrain (similar to retooling). Forms: A-B-A-B-A or A-B-A-C-A or A-B-A-C-A-B-A. . The Enlightenment gave rise to the Classical Era during which musicians worked under what is known as the patronage system. Composers would work as servants to powerful noblemen, or people of higher class, writing and performing pieces for their patron. There are pros and cons to this system.Some pros were financial stability and security; working under a patron gets you work, a full stomach, and a of over your head. However, the cons were isolation and restricted creativity. Musicians lived as servants with their patrons and were limited to composing what their boss wanted, and when they wanted it. This left little exposure to the musical influences outside of the patrons walls. This too has pros and cons in that all work is unique and original, but there is little outside inspiration. Two important characters from the Enlightenment Era who were involved in the patronage system were Joseph II and Mozart.Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart worked under Joseph II, son of Maria heres and brother to Marie Antoinette, in Vienna. Mozart composed three operas Nile serving Joseph: Eel nozzle did Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni (Don lean, and Die Subterfuge (The Magic Flute). 3. The great contribution of the classical period to orchestral music is the symphony. A symphony is an extended, composition typically lasting between 20 and 45 minutes, using the expanded range of tone color and dynamics of the classical orchestra. It usually consists of four movements which evoke a wide range of emotions through contrasts of tempo and mood.A typical sequence in a classical symphony is (l) a usurious, dramatic fast movement; (II) a lyrical slow movement, (Ill)a danceable movement (minuet or scherzo), and (IV)a brilliant or heroic fast movement. In most classical symphonies, each movement is a self-contained composition with its own set of themes. A theme in one movement will only rarely reappear in a later movement. But a symphony is unified partly by the use of the same key in three of its movements. More importantly, the movements balance and complement each other both musically and emotionally.Haydn took hold of the baroque tradition and made it into a more varied and even sophisticated medium, the often predictable homophony works of such people as Cornell and Vivaldi, gaining new elegance and expressiveness in his hands. The term strum undo drank (German for storm and stress) was used to describe the emotionalism and new harmonic flexibility of his symphonies, and the confidence of his enormously popular choral works such as The Creation and The Seasons , inspired by the English choral tradition established by Handel. His series of string quartets also reveal this new depth.His 12 London symphonies were partly written in Vienna and partly in London, which he visited at he invite of the violinist Johann Salomon and where they were first performed to great acclaim. He wrote to please his employers and his growing public but in these, the last of his 104 symphonies, while the s tructure remains the same he challenges his listeners to think there way through his music rather than Just be entertained by It. Wolf Kinfolk says The undervaluation of Haydn that has prevailed since the symphonies, which are comparable in musical significance to those of Beethoven, Burner or Mailer. 4.Ludwig Van Beethoven was born in 1770 in Bonn, Germany as the son of a court musician. His talent for the piano was soon realized and he gave his first public performance at the age of eight. Beethovens father wanted to promote him as the next child prodigy, another Mozart. Beethoven was employed as a court musician in Bonn in 1787. During this time he studied briefly under both Haydn and Mozart, although it was certainly not a satisfying relationship for Beethoven. It turns out that events in Beethovens life greatly affected (or seem to have affected) him writing. Because of this Beethovens musical output is very episodic.As we shall see, there are three main periods in Beethovens life, known imply as the early, middle, and late periods. In 1792, Beethoven relocated to Vienna. This is the beginning of his early period which lasted roughly until 1800. During this time Beethoven quickly made a name for himself as a virtuoso pianist. He used his abilities at the piano to gain favor with the nobility. In fact, he even tried to claim his own noble roots by accidentally changing the Van to Von, a title of nobility. His compositions during this period consisted mainly of works for his main instrument, the piano.An example of a piece composed during this time is the Pathtoque Sonata, Pop. 13 1798. Beethovens hearing was also beginning to deteriorate at this point. However, he went to great lengths to hide this fact from those around him. Beethoven is a transition fugue in the history of western music. He is generally known as the father of the Romantic era. However, during the first period most of his compositions were classical in nature. However, in 1800 Beethoven is reported to have turned to his friend Crumple and said, l am not very well satisfied with the work I have thus far done.From this day on I shall take a new way. And basically, he did. Beethoven abandoned the classical forms of the previous century and set out or a more expressive (Romantic) musical voice. His musical imagination began to grow beyond that of the piano. This period, which later became known as the Heroic Period because of the larger than life nature that his compositions took on, saw the creations of such masterpieces as the Tempest Sonata, Pop. 31 (1801-2), the 3rd Symphony (Errors), Pop. 55 (1803), his only opera, Fidelity, Pop. 72 (1803-5), and the 5th Piano Concerto (Emperor), Pop. 73 (1809).Some say that this middle period was Beethovens greatest. It certainly was his most productive. In about a decade Beethoven produced countless masterpieces in every genre. In 1809, however, his musical output began to drop, possibly in connection to his declining health and mental state. Around 1815 the famous Immortal Beloved affair occurred, which left Beethoven in deep depression and contemplating suicide. Although there has been much debate over the identity of this Immortal Beloved character, it is now assumed that the lucky woman was Josephine, Countess Deem, ne Countess von Brunswick.Ludwig van Beethoven contributed a wealth of innovations to the evolution of music. One such contribution was his expansion of the symphonic coda to become an integral part of the sonata-allegro movements. Beethovens invention of the germ motive, variations of themes throughout a work, so delicate as to be almost invisible, brought a depth not only to his symphonies but to all his work, as seen in his sonata, Pathetic, where the opening bar provides all the subjects used in the first throughout the piece, lending a sense of internal conflict to the music while almo st incidentally providing the first major example of the cyclic form.His individuality, and the manner in which that individuality melded into his compositions, is perhaps is greatest contribution to music. 5. Contrary to what the book says, Salon is originally derived from the Italian word Salons, meaning large hall. Salon music was a popular music genre in Europe during the 19th century. It was usually written for solo piano in the romantic style, and often performed by the composer at events known as Salons. Salon compositions are usually fairly short and often focus on tortuous pianist display or emotional expression of a sentimental character.The Parisian salon was conceived as a gathering of musicians, artists, and intellectuals ho shared similar interests and tastes, and was hosted by a wealthy aristocrat, often a woman. In addition, it was also a place where professional performers and artists could mingle freely with amateurs. In the European salon, the piano became a focal point in gatherings of friends and families in 19th century America. Chopin is one of the great performers who often played at salons. 6. Don Giovanni has long been regarded as Mozart supreme theatrical achievement.The subject seems unpromising the last day in the life of the notorious womanlier Don Juan but the kill of the librettist allied to the genius of Mozart at the very peak of his powers has created a work which is not only highly entertaining but reflects an incredible understanding of the human condition. It is widely regarded, to this day, as one of the greatest pieces of music ever written. The sustained success of this opera demonstrates how the pieces fell together in this instance. Don Giovanni is celebrated as a world-class example of drama socio, as both Mozart and his librettist Lorenz ad Point described it, a category to which Mozart other operas Eel Nozzle did Figaro and Coos fan Tutee also belong. Drama socio, literally playful drama, refers to operas comprised of both comic and tragic elements. In part l, Don Giovanni attempts to seduce Donna Anna whilst his manservant Passionately keeps lonely watch outside. Giovanni is challenged to a duel by Annas father, the Commendatory; the Commendatory is killed and Annas fiance, Ducat Titivation, swears enhance.In his search for new adventures Giovanni encounters his forsaken love Donna Eluvia. Passionately delights in telling Eluvia every detail of his masters many conquests whilst the Don is busy wooing Donna Examine. A party of peasants enters: Maturing and Biggie are about to celebrate their wedding. Giovanni relishes the opportunity of yet another conquest, and sees off an angry Biggie. He skillfully maneuvers his way out of a simultaneous collision with all three women, leaving Maturing and Eluvia to fight it out between themselves.Then in part II, Titivation visits the Commentators mausoleum, followed by the Don and his servant. To Pastoralists terror, the statue visibly and audibly accepts an invitation to supper: Giovanni however is unconvinced. Back at Giovanni house, Eluvia arrives and makes an impassioned but unsuccessful final plea for the Don to mend his ways. As the evening progresses Giovanni and Passionately share the pleasures of good food and Nine, singing the praises of lifes delights, the beauties of Venice, and Venetian Omen in particular.The statue arrives to keep its appointment and drags an unrepentant Giovanni to his death. Titivation and the women enter, aroused by the opera ends with final rejoicing. 7. Schubert music neatly bridges the Classical and Romantic periods through its use of lovely melodies, inventive scoring, and nature Imagery, wedded to the traditional classical forms while at the same time expanding them. In his short life, Schubert composed operas, symphonies, sonatas, masses, Chamber music, piano music, and over 600 songs.But regardless of the genre, his gift for creating beautiful melodies remains almost unsurpassed in music history. Schubert music is also passionate, sometimes even dark, with an emphasis on major/minor key shifts and harmonic writing. Examples of his gift for melody can be found in the popular Piano Quintet in A major , which includes a set of variations on the tune of one of his popular songs, and from which it gets its nickname, The rout. Although left unfinished for unknown reasons, Schubert stirring and dutiful Symphony no. In B minor remains one of his most often heard and best- loved works. But it is his songs, or German Lieder, for which Schubert is best known. Rough his choice of beautiful poetry by some of the best writers of the day, his Inspired melodies, and his sometimes elaborate treatment of the piano part, many of Schubert songs are miniature masterpieces of poetic and dramatic beauty. His two song cycles (groups of poems by a single or various authors selected because of thematic content, and usually published together), yield some of the finest examples of Schubert Lieder. Wooing? From the song cycle, Die such ¶en M;leering (The Fair Maid of the Mill) is an outstanding example of the almost limitless artistry of this composer. Schubert Lieder would come to influence the song-writing of many later composers. 8. The Lied is any of a number of particular types of German song, as they are referred to in English and French writings. The earliest so-called lieder date from the 12th and 13th centuries and are the works of minnesingers poets and singers of courtly love.Many surviving Milliner reflect southern German origins and are written in a group of manuscripts of a somewhat later date. These songs occur in a number of forms based on poetic models. The lied proper, like many other forms, commonly comprises two sections, the first phrase of music (A) repeated with different words, and the second phrase (B), again with different words ABA. This is the Bar form much favored by German composers and often expanded in various ways. Rhea monophonic Milliner are virile, abounding in small leaps.They are attractively contoured and make use of modal scales. Because musical notation of this period is not precise regarding rhythmic values, the rhythmic interpretation of Milliner is controversial. Among important minnesingers are Walter von deer Vegetative, Thankuser, Wolfram von Senescence, and Neither von Ornamental, the first three known today through the operas of Richard Wagner. The 14th century brought a decline of the monophonic lied and the introduction of polyphonic lieder for two or more voices or voice and instruments.Skipping ahead a lot, the 19th century saw German composers again turning to lied production. Late 18th- and early 19th-century Romanticism gave great impetus to serious popular poetry, and many poems of such masters as Goethe were set by lied composers. Franz Schubert, No composed more than 600 lieder, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms, and Hugo Noel are among the finest 19th-century lied composers. Although the verse in lieder often was mediocre, for the Romantics, poetry and music were of equal importance. Required a virtuoso technique.The songs were primarily salon music: individual lieder lack the scope of contemporary opera arias, but are more intimate and emotionally refined. Composers often wrote cycles of lieder, all related by a single topic but giving scope for considerable musical development. A lied may be either through-composed or strophic, I. . Repeating the music for each new stanza of the poem. Occasionally lieder are arranged for accompaniment by full orchestra or, in the case of several lied cycles, for chamber ensemble of reduced strings and winds.Not sure why the book calls it Lifelike, because I have never seen it like that. I have always seen it Reeling, so that is what I will refer to it as. The Reeling is about a father and son who are riding home on a horse and the Reeling, who is like a mythical seductive elf. The song has rapid repeated octaves in triplets in the piano, which represent the horses hooves. The Reeling is trying to convince the child to come with him and in fear, the child pleads with his father to protect him. The childs fear is suggested by clashing dissonance and high vocal range.The father, who cannot see or hear the Reeling, reassures his son that everything is alright with a more rounded local line, sung in the lower register. The Reeling tells the child that they can play games and that his daughters can take care of the child. The child becomes more and more terrified and his dad will not take him seriously. The song ends with the father riding into the courtyard with the child dead in his arms. THe song is through- composed in that the music follows the action of the story with a steady rise in tension and pitch that builds almost to the end. . Remoteness, strangeness, and subjectivity is heightened in the Romantic Era and is perhaps its most clarifying difference from the earlier period. In this general sense, Romanticism is not a phenomenon of any one period, but has occurred at various times in various forms. Another important characteristic of romanticism is its aspiration to transcend immediate times or occasions, to reach back into the past and forward into the true. Romanticism cherishes freedom, movement, passion, and endless pursuit of the unattainable.It is this aspect which, perhaps, gives music of the Romantic Era its sense of longing, and heightened emotions. This impatience of limits leads too breaking down of distinctions. The personality of the artists tends to become merged Ninth the work of art; classical clarity is replaced by a certain intentional obscurity, definite statement by suggestion, allusion, or symbol. The arts themselves tend to merge; poetry, for example, aims to acquire the qualities of music, wherein the actual mounds of the works begin to take on special, even musical, significance. USIA of the 19th century is: more concerned with color, whether of chord or instrumentation, than ever before, that highly distant key relationships become the expectation rather than the unusual, that the tonic/dominant axis is weakened by a subdivision direction, that melody becomes exalted into what might be called themes, that counterpoint, in the main, is of less importance, and that the orchestral Instrumentation is expanded greatly to include piccolo, English horn, contrabass, bass and, occasionally, soprano (Be) clarinets, trombone, tuba, harp, ND a steadily growing list of percussion.Forms often take one of two paths, either that of great expansion (symphony) or that of the miniature (Nocturnes). A new form Inch, springing from some literary or poetic inspiration, is, in general, a large single- movement work for orchestra with many contrasting sections of Tempe and texture. Nineteenth Century Romanticism was an international movement which affected all the arts which was born to some extent in the spirit of the great revolutions of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Because of the Industrial Revolution, pianos were being with cast iron frames.People were able to afford them, and they were being played at home a lot more. This, intern, brought about all the salons and such. Much of the most widely admired piano repertoire in classical music, for example, that of Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, was composed for a type of instrument, the appropriate, that is rather different from modern instruments this music is normally performed on today. Even the music of the Romantic movement, including List, Chopin, Robert Schumann, Felix Mendelssohn and Johannes Brahms, was written for pianos substantially different from modern pianos.Starting in Beethovens later rarer, the appropriate evolved into the modern piano as we know it today. Modern pianos were in wide use by the late 19th century. They featured an octave range larger than the earlier appropriate instrument, adding around 30 more keys to the Instrument. The mechanical action structure of the upright piano was invented in London, England in 1826 by Robe Worn, and upright models became the most popular model, also amplifying the sound. Mass production in factories made them more affordable for a larger number of people. They appeared in music halls and pubs during the 19th century, providing entertainment through a piano soloist, or in ambition with a small band. Pianists began accompanying singers or dancers performing on stage, or patrons dancing on a dance floor. During the 19th century, American musicians playing for working-class audiences in small pubs and bars, particularly African American composers, developed new musical genres based on the modern piano.Ragtime music, popularized by composers such as Scott Joplin, reached a broader audience by 1900. 10. Political conditions really influenced the growth of nationalism in Europe during the 19th century to such a degree that it became a decisive force with the Romantic movement. THe pride of conquering nations and the struggle for freedom of surprised ones caused strong emotions that inspired the works of many creative artists. During the nineteenth century the popular view was taken that folk music is always and above all the music of a nation. However, what makes this ambiguous and ill-founded is the fact that when one discusses folk music with references to the people, the expression the people usually refers to the lower strata of the population known universally as peasants, and also to the concept of the nation as a whole. However, nineteenth century sectionalism was a phenomena of the bourgeois, not an expression of the peasants self-awareness. This use of folk music by the bourgeois was more to reassure themselves of the authenticity of their own patriotism as well as an appeal across the social barriers of the time. For the nobility, it was not the national loyalties that counted, but dynastic ones. ) For the bourgeois, national character was the p rimary and essential quality of folk music. .. And that folk music expresses the spirit of a people. style in which to do it. In general, the Romantic composer was slow in discovering ND using folk songs in their music. At first they were used in brief works, such as a peasant dance like a mazurka, but gradually became to be used in symphonic works, although the lush vivid orchestrations tended to mask their simplistic character. Cause folk music is basically monadic, it resisted assimilation into the well- established formulas of major-minor tonality, and for that very reason it challenged composers to experiment with unusual harmonies. This in turn affected harmonies in music unconnected with folk-oriented music, and thus manifested itself into the mainstream of developments. This experimentation was itself a consequence of a specific, well-defined problem that was encountered by Romantic composers of the era, and was not the result of random factors.The work of Pollards most famous composer FRRdrich Chopin (1810-1849) is exemplary in showing how nationalist music takes elements of the vernacular culture to refry the nations people. Historically during Chopping time, Poland was politically under the control of Russia, Prussia and Austria; while Germany, Italy and France dominated European musical high culture. Chopping sense of the Polish nation led him to draw on the music of the rural Poles to rate a distinctly Polish music, based on folk music forms, harmonies and rhythms in a high culture setting and for an elite audience.A famous example of Chopping use of elements of folk culture is in his mazurka, of which he is known to have written at least 69 for solo piano. These are, however, distanced from their original form a folk dance from Pollards Amazonian region played on bagpipe and fiddle. Chopping mazurka were not meant for dancing and are more technically advanced through their use of classical techniques and more advanced harmonic structures; but are based on the same rhythmic structure with a % time signature. Until the 19th century, Russian art music had been dominated by foreign musicians.Peter the Great (1689-1725) had begun this trend by importing foreign musicians to modernize his kingdom. As a result, very few Russian compositions in the western European art music tradition exist before Gillian. Mikhail Gillian was the first Russian composer to give a native voice to common musical styles of the day. After studying music and disgusting Italy and Berlin, Gillian composed an opera about the Russian peasant and hero Ivan Susann. The work was titled A Life for the Tsar, and used several aspects new to Russian music. It used recitative instead of spoken dialogue, and had recurring themes.There were two Russian folk tunes in the opera, and several more tunes that had the characteristics of folk music. Gamesman, a Bohemian, was the first great Czech nationalist composer. He wrote his first nationalist work in 1863, in Czech, as a contest entry to the Provisional Theater. He learned to read and write Czech to enter the competition. This opera, Abortion v techchi (The rangefinders in Bohemia) has a historic plot, but the music does not represent folk song. His second opera, Pardon neversat (The Bartered Bride, 1863-1866), incorporates folk melodies, and was a success beyond Czechoslovakia. Also included in his nationalistic works are the six tone poems M blast (My Fatherland, 1872-1880). Devoidk was the most successful of the Czech nationalist composers. He performed dial in the Provisional Theater under Gamesman, and was mentored by Brahms. Devoidk included Bohemian themes and elements into much of his music. In 1871, he titled Kerrl a ill (The King and the Charcoal Burner). Unfortunately, this opera was not successful. More notable for their national content are his sixteen Slavonic Dances, eight in Pop. 46 (1878) and eight in Pop. (1886), plus the three Slavonic Rhapsodies, Pop. 45 (1880). Devoidk was invited to New York to direct the first national conservatory in America. While abroad, he studied African-American and Native American music. These styles are incorporated into his American works: Symphony No. 9 Pop. 95 From the New World, the String Quartet No. 12, Pop. 96 American, and the American String Quintet, Pop. 97. In Norway, Gripe composed many piano works in a national style. Jean Sublime had strong patriotic feelings for Finland. Composed Finland. 11.Once again, the book is an awful reference for this question. These books are so stuck on producing images of people that really dont exist. I have read plenty of real books on the lives of composers and this one is pretty weak. Chopin was Polish musical composer and pianist born at Zealot-Wool, near Warsaw, on the 22nd of February 1810. His father, of French origin, born at Nancy in 1770, had married a Polish lady, Justine Crosswalks. He also received a good general education at one of the first colleges of Warsaw, where he was supported by Prince Antoine Radial. His musical genius opened to Chopin the best circles of Polish society, at that time unrivaled in Europe for its ease of intercourse, the beauty and grace of its women, and its liberal appreciation of artistic gifts. These early impressions were of lasting influence on Chopping development. While at college he received thorough instruction in the theory of his art from Joseph Lesser, a learned musician and director of the conservatoire at Warsaw. When in 1829 he left his native town for Vienna, where his debut as a pianist took place, he was in all respects a perfectly formed and developed artist.There is in his compositions little of that gradual regress which, for instance, in Beethoven necessitates a classification of his works according to different periods. Chopping individuality and his style were distinctly pronounced in that set of variations on La CIA dared which excited the wondering enthusiast of Robert Schumann. In 1831 he left Vienna with the intention of visiting London ; but on his way to England he reached Paris and settled there for the rest of his life. Here again he soon became the favorite and musical hero of society.His connection with Madame Deviant, better known by her literary pseudonym of George Sand is an important feature of Chopping life. When in 1839 his health began to fail, George Sand went with him to Majorca, and it was mainly owing to her tender care that the composer recovered his health for a time. Chopin declared that the destruction of his relations with Madame Deviant in 1847 broke up his life. The association of these two artists has provoked a whole literature on the nature of their relations, of which the novelists Un Hive Majored was the beginning.He had two Envies and a boyfriend as well. The series of seven Polonaises published in his lifetime (another nine were published posthumously), beginning with the Pop. 6 pair, set a new standard for music in the form, and were rooted in Chopping desire to write something to celebrate Polish culture after the country had fallen into Russian control. [87] The Polonaise in A major, Pop. 40, No. 1, the Military, and the Polonaise played works. Chopping music is well known for benefiting from rubout, which was how he himself performed his music, as opposed to a strictly regular playing.Yet there is usually call for caution when the music is performed with wobbly, over- exaggerated, inappropriate rubout. Chopin is referred to as the poet of the Bianca or many reasons, but if there is one series of compositions that really earns Frederic Chopin his laurel wreath as The Poet of The Piano it is undoubtedly his nocturnes. This collection of miniature musical masterpieces must surely be the original Music that soothes the savage breast, for, there can surely be no better way to bring peace to your soul than Just to shut your eyes and listen while the immortal notes wash over you.I defy any one to listen to the Chopin Nocturnes and not be almost dissolved with their beauty. The gold ingotsof pianist ecstasy mentioned o far are not the only glimpses of Heaven left for us by our musical rhymester. There are also The Études (so beautiful) and nobody that has ever listened to The Raindrop Prelude can resist wanting to hear it again and again. 12. Simply put, program music is so-called because it has a program, or story behind it. Absolute music is supposed to be music following a specific form, abstracted from story. A few examples of absolute music are J. S. Bach: Fantasies Chromatics, Art of the Fugue, Preludes and Fugues, Toccatas and Fugues, and Fantasias for organ, The Nell-Tempered Clavier. Ludwig van Beethoven: Allegretto quasi Andante, Allegretto, stateless, Pop. 33 Bagatelles, Pop. 126, Fantasia in G Minor / B Major, Pop. 77. J. Arms: Three piano sonatas pop. L, pop. 2, pop. 5, Scherzo in E-flat minor pop. 4, Variations on a Theme by Robert Schumann in F-sharp minor, pop. 9. Honestly, the list goes on and on.For program music, a few pieces that fall into that category would be: Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky depicts an imaginary tour of an art collection. Peer Gent by Depraved Gripe was composed as incidental music to an Ibsen play but is often performed on its own. Nephritis Waltz no. By Franz List. Again, there are plenty more, but these are some good examples to listen to. 13. Richard Wagers prolific musical output was restricted to the composition of operas only.He brought the opera to new and unexplored heights of dramatic grandeur, theater, and spellbinding music.
