In the 1700s and 1800s, classical music was popular music. People went to concerts with their friends, they brought snacks and drinks, and cheered right in the middle of the concert.
Well, guess what? Three hundred years later, that music is just as catchy, thrilling, and emotional.
From Bach to Mozart and Chopin, history's greatest composers have stood the test of time and continue to delight listeners from all walks of life. And in Classical Music For Dummies, you'll dive deeply into some of the greatest pieces of music ever written. You'll also get:
A second-by-second listening guide to some of history's greatest pieces, annotated with time codes
A classical music timeline, a field guide to the orchestra, and listening suggestions for your next foray into the classical genre
Expanded references so you can continue your studies with recommended resources
Bonus online material, like videos and audio tracks, to help you better understand concepts from the book
Classical Music For Dummies is perfect for anyone who loves music. It's also a funny, authoritative guide to expanding your musical horizons--and to learning how the world's greatest composers laid the groundwork for every piece of music written since.

Автор: Oliver C. Speck Название: Quentin Tarantino`s Django Unchained: The Continuation of Metacinema ISBN: 1628926600 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781628926606 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 27450.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Django Unchained is certainly Quentin Tarantino's most commercially-successful film and is arguably also his most controversial. Fellow director Spike Lee has denounced the representation of race and slavery in the film, while many African American writers have defended the white auteur. The use of extremely graphic violence in the film, even by Tarantino's standards, at a time when gun control is being hotly debated, has sparked further controversy and has led to angry outbursts by the director himself. Moreover, Django Unchained has become a popular culture phenomenon, with t-shirts, highly contentious action figures, posters, and strong DVD/BluRay sales. The topic (slavery and revenge), the setting (a few years before the Civil War), the intentionally provocative generic roots (Spaghetti Western and Blaxploitation) and the many intertexts and references (to German and French culture) demand a thorough examination. Befitting such a complex film, the essays collected here represent a diverse group of scholars who examine Django Unchained from many perspectives.

Описание: Cosmically Curious can be a convincer for being very curious about everything. It can change ones views of existence, which can be fun, strange, or creepy. Len Jepson, a longtime pastor and lifelong philosopher, draws upon philosophies, theologies, and physics to reveal new curiosities about consciousness. He observes that if there is anything we feel with certainty, it is that the world we experience is real. Each morning we take for granted that the iPhone with the alarm set is real, because we can see, touch, and hear itand turn it off. We can climb into a vehicle and drive to work. We can observe the yellow arches of McDonalds still lighted in the predawn grayness and a myriad of lighted arch rivals. It seems without question that out there, around us, independent and apart from us, exists a physical world. But what if our assumptions are wrong? Join the author as he questions reality, explores unknowns, examines a spectrum of spirituality, and encourages everyone to be very curious.
