In order to compose for the Habsurg family, Beethoven would have to consider the instruments available to him. The violin was modified in the late 1970’s when the neck was lengthened so it was easier to play higher notes, this gave Beethoven the opportunity to explore the higher range.

The pieces that I chose to analyze were Beethoven’s 5th symphony movement 1, and Love the Way You Lie by Eminem and Rihanna.

Beethoven’s 5th symphony was written over a four year period beginning in 1804 and culminating in 1808. Beethoven was a German composer and pianist and he is one of the most famous composers of all time.

He started his career when he was hired by the Esterhazy family, giving him the chance to write and compose symphonies and conduct orchestras. Also known as the Father of the Symphony or String Quartet, he invented the idea of sonatas (History Reference Center 1). His best known piece, the Emperor Quartet, was so well written that it was the national anthem of Austria until the end of World War I. without the guidance of the Esterhazy family and the chance to write and compose, Haydn’s career would not have been as influencing. Haydn was an ideal man of the Enlightenment. He had a great sense of humor, and loved playing jokes on his friends.
Music Appreciation MUSI 1306 63002 Comparison: The Movie “Amadeus vs. Mozart’s Real Life” Although the 1984 movie “Amadeus” was absolutely an entertaining and well played by many actors, there were many differences in it and the true life of Mozart. Mozart’s Requiem provides an intriguing history. According to Albert Borowitz, the commissioning of the Requiem was nearly as mysterious as the film portrays.

Abstract Developed in the 1970s, the ICD-9-CM code set no longer fits with our current healthcare system needs. ICD-9-CM is currently being used for many more purposes than when it was originally intended and it is no longer fitting for our 21st century health information needs. Continuing to rely on this outdated and imprecise platform adversely affects the value of healthcare data. Although, a number of years ago most industrialized countries have moved to ICD-10 platform, the US is just beginning this transition with a final compliance date of October 1, 2015. That is if it isn’t once again pushed back or just gotten rid of entirely.
In 1924, George formed a partnership with his brother, Ira. "The Gershwins" became the dominant Broadway songwriters, creating infectious rhythm numbers and tearjerking ballads, fashioning the words to fit the melodies with a "glove-like" fidelity. Together they wrote many more successful musicals including “Oh Kay!” and “Funny Face” While continuing to compose popular music for the stage, Gershwin began to lead a double life, trying to make his mark as a serious composer. When he was 25 years old, his jazz-influenced “Rhapsody in Blue” premiered in New York’s Aeolian Hall at the concert, “An Experiment in Music.” The audience included Jascha Heifitz, Fritz Kreisler, Leopold Stokowski, Serge Rachmaninov, and Igor Stravinsky.
