Mozart’s father, “a violinist at the court of the prince of Salzburg,” taught him how to play the clavier and encouraged him in his art (“Wolfgang” World History). His parents had seven children, although only two of them, Mozart and his sister Maria Anna Mozart, survived to adulthood. Mozart first showed off his innate abilities in music at age four, when “he began playing his pieces from his elder sister’s clavier lessons” and astonished his entire family (“Wolfgang” World History). After his father heard him play such arduous pieces, he started giving him lessons. Mozart’s sister was also a talented musician.
In his childhood, Mozart’s father often brought his only son and daughter touring around Europe to perform in courts and for nobility, and this greatly broadened Mozart’s vision and also built up a foundation for his music career later on. In his later years, he composed over six hundred compositions including concertos, symphonies, sonatas, chamber music and operas which earned him a great acclaim. In 1791, four years after his father’s death, Mozart died of military fever and ended his short but prolific musical life. (Henley, 2005) The term “Mozart effect” originated in 1993 at the University of California, Irvine, when physicist Gordon Shaw and cognitive development expert Frances Rauscher did an experiment on a few dozen college students for measuring spatial IQ. They found that students who listened to 10 minutes of Mozart’s K448 piano sonata had scored 8 to 9 points higher than the other two groups of students either listening to a tape of relaxation instructions or sitting in silence.
I got 6th place in the tournament and was not happy but I gained experience and never gave up. My father and I drove back to Dallas and were greeted by the rest of my family who were all over the country and some in different countries. My Spring Break was fun because I got to spend five days with my dad and we did what we both love to do. I was upset that I did not win but you can’t always win and you have to learn how to lose and be a good loser. Spring Break 2018 was one for the record
Two significant visitors come to stay at the Claudia house: Mr. Henry, as a rent-paying boarder, and Pecola Breedlove, as a girl who has been temporarily taken into custody by the state. Mr. Henry is a middle-aged man whose former landlady can no longer accommodate him. He is going to rent a room at the Claudia house for five dollars every two weeks, a sum that will be a great aid to Claudia's parents. On his arrival, he delights the girls by comparing them to white Hollywood actresses. The children's immediate affection is obvious, but the description of Mr. Henry's arrival ends on an ominous note: "Even after what came later, there was no bitterness in our memory of him."
The Five-Year Engagement (Universal Pictures) 2 hrs. 4 mins. Starring: Emily Blunt, Jason Segel, Chris Pratt, Alison Brie, Mimi Kennedy, Lauren Weedman, Chris Parnell, Mindy Kaling, Brian Posehn Directed by: Nicholas Stoller MPAA Rating: R Genre: Romantic comedy Critic’s Rating: ** stars (out of 4 stars) There seems to be the continual explosion of Hollywood romantic comedies surging on the scene that specifically devotes itself to the trappings of marital bliss. Last year’s heralded Bridesmaids lit a fire under the “wacky wedding woes” genre so naturally Tinsel Town wants to further fan the flames in hopes sharing the wealth with the marriage mayhem theme. Let’s not kid ourselves though…we were long bombarded by rom-com wedding-oriented chucklers that ranged from Meet the Parents to The Wedding Date to The Wedding Planner.
Good morning teachers and students, today I will be talking to all you about Michael Jackson and his troubled life. You’re probably wondering why I would talk about some creepy old guy, but he is an amazing talent like singing and dancing, so I decided to do my speech on him. Michael was born on the 29th of August 1958 in Gary, Indiana. He was the eighth of ten Children, The three sisters Michael had were Rebbie, La Toya, and Janet, the other five brothers were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy. There was a sixth brother, Brandon but sadly died shortly after he was born.
Gatsby’s guests admire his Rolls – Royce, his marble swimming pool, his station-wagon and his “corps of caterers” the alliteration of this emphasizes how many caterers Gatsby has. The description of what Gatsby has prepared for the parties he holds shows conspicuous consumption. The repetition of the different types of alcohol Gatsby serves to his guests’ echoes that he is disobeying the law in order to have fun. Since prohibition had started in 1920 and The Great Gatsby was published in 1925 it had been going on for 5 years. “Most of his female guests were too young to know one from another.” This shows that he liked to have young women at his parties and that prohibition had been enforced for a long time.
In 1963, he had a relationship with Joan Baez, an American folk singer and songwriter known for her soprano style and three-octave vocal range, that lasted two years. However, this relationship was favorable to both because it promoted them with more fans; Bob Dylan wrote songs that Baez composed whereas Joan Baez introduced Dylan to most of her admirers. Because of her, by 1964, he was already playing about 200 concerts a year (RealNetworks). In 1965, most of his fans were shocked with the new album “Bringing It All Back Home” with two distinct genres: acoustic and electric (A&E). When he played his electrical songs in the Newport Folk Festival for the first time in his life on July 25, the audience ridiculed him surprisingly (A&E).
In my opinion, one of the greatest feelings in any relationship is feeling loved and appreciated by the other person. I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for a year and four months. The small things my boyfriend does for me, such as coming all the way down to Lexington from Louisville at midnight and surprising me with roses shows that he is dedicated into this relationship and he loves me very much. In return, I appreciate everything that he does for me. This example best represents the need to belong theory (NBT) by Baumeister and Leary.
