Classical MusiciansAn article about Classical Musicians.

Classical musicians do one other thing quite commonly: they work private parties. It is really easy and fairly reasonably priced to hire classical musicians to entertain yourself and your friends for virtually any event. We recently had my daughters graduation from college and hired a classical string quartet to entertain. They were really lovely. My daughter Erin has always loved string music, as have the rest of us, and it provided the perfect accompaniment to her evening. The classical musicians even played some modern numbers for us to dance to.

Mozart Requiem

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was commissioned by a secretive person (we now know it was a rather eccentric Count von Walsegg-Stuppach, and through intermediaries) to write a Requiem and was given half his commission in advance. He set about this task in mid-1791 when he still had quite good health.

Mozart was a great composer of repute by this time, at the age of only 35, and had completed a vast list of compositions, from piano concertos to string-quartets, sonatas to operas, symphonies to solo works. Perhaps his Mass in C minor, written in 1783 and an immediate success was the reason the Count wanted Mozart’s music for himself?

Get Bon Jovi Concert Tickets

Monday, June 5th, 2006

So, I sucked it up, and figured that I’d have to get my Bon Jovi concert tickets from scalpers. I hate buying from scalpers man, I mean I’m not made of money any more, and I like to know that all my dough is going directly to keep Jon Bon Jovi rocking hard. Not to make a bundle for some scalper. So, I got to the stadium something like two hours before the show to try to find my Bon Jovi concert tickets, but no such luck. I couldn’t find anyone willing to sell for less than – get this – two hundred dollars. I don’t care how many beers I get to drink in there, or how many hotties flashing the band. There is no way that’s worth two hundred dollars. Not for a two hour show with an opening band taking up some of the time.

Eddie Ryan - Drum Maker For The Stars

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

I started working at the Boosey and Hawkes factory in Edgware, Middlesex when I left school in 1958.  I was an apprentice in the Drum Department making Ajax and Edgware drums and later Rogers drums (under licence).  Moved to the Boosey and Hawkes retail shop in Denman Street, Piccadilly where I did repairs in the basement, along with three other men, doing on the spot repairs.  This was mainly for musicians working in the theatres and clubs in the West End of London, as in those days, most theatres employed over twenty musicians.  Later on I moved upstairs to the sales department selling drums.

Beethoven’s Life

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Beethoven looked after his two younger brothers until his father’s death in 1792, when he at last was able to go to live in Vienna, one of the great centres of music at the time. Mozart, with whom he had wanted to study, had died, and so Beethoven happily took lessons in piano, counterpoint and composition from Hayden. His earlier works show detailed study of both composers, yet managed, even then, to go forward in the development of a new musical age.

Compression formats which retain all of the original data are called ‘lossless’. Certain types of files like audio, video and graphics can also be compressed by discarding some of the original data. This form of compression is called ‘lossy’
