Описание: THE TWENTY ETUDES FOR PIANO were composed during the years from 1991 to 2012. Their final configuration into Book 1 and Book 2 was determined by the music itself in the course of its composition.

Book 1 (Etudes 1-10) had a twin objective - to explore a variety of tempi, textures and piano techniques. At the same time it was meant to serve as a pedagogical tool by which I would improve my piano playing. In these two ways, Book 1 succeeded very well. I learned a great deal about the piano and in the course of learning the music, I became a better player.

New projects came along and interrupted the work on the Etudes for several years. Perhaps for that reason, when I took up work with the Etudes again I found the music was following a new path. Though I had settled questions of piano technique for myself in Book 1, the music in Book 2 quickly began to suggest a series of new adventures in harmony and structure.

In this way, Books 1 and 2, taken together, suggest a real trajectory that includes a broad range of music and technical ideas.

In the end, the Etudes are meant to be appreciated not only by the general listener, but especially by those who have the ability and patience to learn, play and perform the music themselves.

Описание:

In May of 1890, The Christian Solider, an African American newspaper, identified the Catholic journalist and activist Daniel Arthur Rudd as the -greatest negro Catholic in America.- Yet many Catholics today are unaware of Rudd's efforts to bring about positive social change during the early decades of the Jim Crow era. In Daniel Rudd: Calling a Church to Justice, Gary Agee offers a compelling look at the life and work of this visionary who found inspiration in his Catholic faith to fight for the principles of liberty and justice. Born into slavery, Rudd achieved success early on as the publisher of the American Catholic Tribune, one of the most successful black newspapers of its era, and as the founder of the National Black Catholic Congress.

Even as Rudd urged his fellow black Catholics to maintain their spiritual home within the fold of the Catholic Church, he called on that same church to live up what he believed to be her cardinal teaching, -the Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of Man.- Rudd's hopeful spirit lives on today in the important work of the National Black Catholic Congress, as it carries forward his pursuit of social justice.

Описание: L''insomnie, definie comme un manque subjectif de sommeil est un trouble tres frequent, au point d''etre devenue un probleme de sante publique. Physiologiquement, le sommeil devient moins reparateur avec le vieillissement et les personnes agees sont tres souvent concernees par l''insomnie, sollicitant ainsi leur medecin traitant pour obtenir une ordonnance contenant un medicament hypnotique. Les benzodiazepines a demi-vie courte ou intermediaire ont longtemps ete utilisees comme hypnotiques car leur effet sedatif intervient rapidement. Cependant, elles entrainent de nombreux effets indesirables (dependance importante et effets residuels le lendemain de la prise). Ainsi, de nouvelles molecules ont ete mises au point, il s''agit des hypnotiques apparentes aux benzodiazepines dont le zolpidem et la zopiclone. Consideres comme plus surs d''utilisation que les benzodiazepines, ces derniers ne sont pourtant pas denues d''effets indesirables, notamment chez les personnes de plus de 65 ans. Des effets negatifs sur la conduite automobile chez des sujets jeunes et ages ont ete mis en evidence dans les etudes, et l''association avec des substances potentialisant l''effet sedatif n''est pas rare.
