String Quintet in C major
Name:
Professor:
May 1, 2019
Franz Schubert (1797-1828) born in Vienna is an outstanding representative of the early Romantic music of the West. His work reflects the connection between the classical music tradition of Vienna and the new romanticism of the 19th century. Schubert received a good artistic influence from an early age. When he was 5 years old, he began to learn music with his father. When she was a child, Schubert had an amazing voice and an admirable tone. In 1808 he was admitted to the boarding school of the church and became a small singer in the Children's Choir of the Palace Theatre. In the boarding school, Schubert studied many professional courses, went to the theater to listen to opera, and contacted many works by Mozart, Haydn, and many other composers. In his short life, he has produced more than 600 artistic songs, making a big contribution to the development of art songs. I will analyze String Quintet in Cmajor.
String Quintet in C major is one of his chamber music work, created in the last year of his life -1828. This quintet uses two violins, one viola, and two cellos. This arrangement makes the bass of the music enhanced. The two cells are also Dialogues can be made, and the interlacing of sounds between different instruments becomes complicated. It is the treasure in chamber music, both in terms of writing skills and spiritual. It is often commented on Schubert's greatest chamber music in his later years.
The D.956[footnoteRef:2] is compiled with a cello in addition to the string quartet. This arrangement makes the bass of the music enhanced, and there can be a dialogue between the two cellos, so the melody of the symphony in D.956The proportion has increased significantly, and the vernacular says that the sound interlacing of different instruments becomes more complicated. [2: Rick Anderson. Reviewed Work: String Quintet, D956. 2005]
The string quintet consists[footnoteRef:3]offourmovements in the usualquick-slow-scherzo-quick pattern: [3: William, Brown. Menahem Pressler: Artistry in Piano Teaching. Indiana University Press, 2009.]
1. Allegro ma non troppo
2. Adagio
3. Scherzo. Presto – Trio. Andante sostenuto
4. Allegretto
The first movement of the "C major string quintet" is composed of a sonata style. The quintet opens with an extremely expansive movement compare with other late Schubert works. The length of Allegro is over one-third of the total length of the piece around 50 minutes. The exposition lasted 154 measures and began with a wide range of C major chords. Schubert presents his unforgettable harmony, well-contoured melody and without regular rhythm pulses. This is followed by music leading to a second contrasting theme with gradually increasing motion and tension. In the E-flat accidental key, it is introduced into the duo between the two units. This part ends with a dominant (G major) chord that naturally returns to the open pitch ch.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

38. Study tips for a listening test
Listen to the pieces frequently and in short doses.
Try to make listening to these pieces part of a daily routine.
Try to listen for what makes the pieces unique and different – even if it is only
one small thing.
Try to associate each piece with a visual image or stored memory.
Make up words to each piece – the sillier or more outrageous, the better.
Try to tie the era and composer to the piece (this is where flashcards come in
handy).
A study buddy works wonders for a listening test. You can share thoughts, and
you can quiz each other.
Count on your ears to identify the timbre. This should not be an area that
needs to be memorized. The timbre will be listed on this test. The terms will
be in strict alphabetical order.
See my hints and suggestions under the testing folder. I published sheets there
on the first day of the semester.
Finally, let me know if you need help. There is no magic formula for taking a
listening test. It requires good old-fashioned study techniques, but if you are
struggling after seriously listening to the pieces, please let me know. I will assist
as much as possible.
