"La Danse" - If You Dance and Love Ballet
"La Danse" - Le ballet de l'Opera de Paris is a wonderful dance film. By Frederick Wiseman, it gives you the role of a fly on the wall.

What You and Pavarotti Have in Common
King of the High C's Can you imagine being so affected by a single musical performance that you would return 17 curtain calls in appreciation? That was what the audience gave Luciano Pavarotti after he masterfully delivered nine high C's in a row during a performance of Donizetti's "La Fille du Regiment" at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1972. The high C, an octave above middle C on the piano, is one of the highest notes in the tenor range. Approaching it means stepping out to the edge, even for a master. Pavarotti described it this way: "When singing high notes, I feel like a show jumper before a 2-meters-plus bar. Stretched to my limits. Excited and happy, but with a strong[..]

Does the Internet Work on the iPhone Clones? I'll Tell You

Nokia 5610 Xpressmusic: Pros & Cons
Nokia 5610 XpressMusic: Pros & Cons Nokia XpressMusic is one of the most contending series Nokia ever came up with. The company’s idea of designing high quality music phones for music fans was yet a hard job. The company started up with two sliders Nokia 5200 XpressMusic and Nokia 5300 XpressMusic.

About six months back, Nokia launched two new phones in the XpressMusic series; Nokia 5310 XpressMusic and Nokia 5610 XpressMusic.

Smartphone Web Browsers
Internet-able smartphones have been out on the market for long enough, and offered by enough major device makers, that now might be a good time to assess the state of the web browser in the never-ending smartphone contest. Especially since now is when a whole bunch of exciting announcements have come out by makers of that very software we count on to get online - web browsers. Any article that claims to summarize the current state of smartphone web browsers must start with Opera Mini, as it is far and away the best web browser the mobile device market has yet produced.

You don't have to keep zooming into the tiny screen to actually read the wording. Viewing the web on these phones is a lot like viewing it on a laptop - very easy to read and friendly to the eyes. Sometimes though, I get emails from folks who have conceded that this a cool phone, but that the Internet just doesn't work for them.

Putting Internet on the CECT i68 (The SciPhone)
A lot of the questions that I get about the CECT i68 (nicknamed the SciPhone) have to do with the Internet, web browsing, or getting online. The other day, I had someone write me and ask me "how to put the Internet on the SciPhone."

The phone is already set up to include the web browsing feature. It's one of the main selling features of the phone. You may have to obtain data access for it or change some of the settings to get it to recognize your carrier, but most of what you need should already be on the phone. I'll[..]

Barcelona - Nightlife You'll Never Tire Of
Barcelona is undoubtedly one of the Europe's most exciting cities and nowhere is this more apparent than in the variety of night-time activities to be found. Let's be honest, when you have a city with wonderful beaches, modern port developments attracting sailing enthusiasts, a huge student population and all the attractions in and around Las Ramblas, you really are likely to be spoiled for choice! To merely say that there is something for everybody in Barcelona would be to over-simplify things far too much; there is something different for every night of the year would be rather nearer the mark. Let's say it's live music you're looking for. Well, on the last occasion anyone had time to[..]
Die Zauberflote - The Magic Flute
The Magic Flute was Mozart's final opera. It was written in 1791, the year of his death. It was first performed at the Theater auf der Weiden in Vienna. How The Magic Flute Came About The idea for The Magic Flute came about as a result of the friendship between Mozart and Emmanuel Schikaneder who was an actor, singer and was also the manager of the Theater auf der Weiden, which had been gaining in popularity with the Viennese middle classes. Schikanader suggested to Mozart that a pantomime type comic opera would be a crowd pleaser and potentially highly profitable for them both. Mozart, who was at that time under some financial strain, agreed readily. Mozart worked on the opera over the[..]

Methods of Analysis of Schoenberg's Die Gluckliche Hand
Schoenberg's Die glückliche Hand is a work which combines music with other elements, such as drama, visual effects, libretto, and art. It is perhaps different than other musical works falling into the category of opera in that these non-musical elements are so closely connected to the music that they are strictly notated in the music score. These non-musical factors could be problematic to an analyst seeking to discover structural elements of the work in a solely musical environment. This paper will examine the various approaches toward this work, determine to what extent non-musical factors play a role in the decision of musical structure, and discuss the effectiveness of such[..]
Hello from Austria - Classical Music, Hiking & Summer Tobogganing & Two Delicious Backyard Feasts
After just a gorgeous day on the Alpine peaks at the Austrian / Italian / Slovenian border, the weather gods were not as kind yesterday. It rained and drizzled pretty much the whole day and I spent a relaxing day in my home town, visiting with friends and doing errands. The big excitement was reserved for the evening: a live concert at the Kunsthaus Weiz, a recently constructed multi-purpose performance venue.
