superstring theory to additional dimensions. It describes superstring theory in detail; it describes the basic idea as well as its development through the years up until 1999, when the book was written. It also talks about other dimensions in the universe that are not obvious, which according to superstring theory there are between six and seven of. The book also goes over Calabi-Yau shapes, which hold those extra dimensions. It also goes over extra concepts that contribute to string theory on a whole

believe that the String theory is not fully supported because there are still more details and support that could be added to this theory. String theory is another step up for us to understand more about our universe. Scientists came up with the string theory to describe how organisms can be multiplied and interact with one another in space. In my opinion, scientists should just work with math because math is more convincing than any theories like the string theory. The string theory is not completely
String theory might be able to explain all of nature using tiny strands of energy called strings. However, to prove this theory, scientists must rewrite the laws of physics. Some argue that this theory is a theory of physics and some say that it is a theory of philosophy. Since I am taking biology, I thought that it would be interesting to learn a little about physics. I don’t
major civilizations that it was known that they first had music in their culture were the Cyclades the Minoans and the Mycenaean. Greeks began to study music theory in the 6th century. Pythagoras one of the most popular man in ancient Greece is known as the “Father of Mathematics”, the “ Father of Geometry” and also the “Father of Music Theory”. Pythagoras believed that music helped men and women to see into structures of nature. He also taught that music can compose the mind and help a human’s health
remains the composer’s most memorable achievement. Beethoven died on the 26 March 1827. An autopsy also supplied clues to the start of his deafness. While his short temper, chronic diarrhea and deafness are regular with arterial disease; an opposing theory traces Beethoven’s deafness to contracting typhus in the summer of
I will review a performance of ‘Haydn’s String Quartet, Op.33, No. 2 “The Joke” IV. Presto’ from you tube. It is performed by University of North-Texas String departmental and the web address is; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDkWBzH6dkE. I will refer to the music from the score in ‘Norton Anthology of Western Music’, Vol. 2, 7th edition, J. Burkholder & C. Palisca. Joseph Haydn composed his String Quartet in E-Flat Major in the summer and fall of 1781. It is one of six quartets of Op. 33 which
If you have a lawn care service in Frisco, TX that mows, fertilizes and weeds your lawn, you’re taking a positive step toward keeping your lawn looking great all year round.

Here are some tips for taking care of your lawn after summer is over: 1 - Keep Mowing This may not be what you
The history of guitars can be traced back 4000 years, where it is thought to have been a development of the Lute. A lute is a stringed instrument with a pear shaped body and like the guitar its strings are parallel to its body and run along a neck. However there is evidence from the Ancient Egypt era that show an instrument that resembled the acoustic guitar with marks on the frets, this is seen to be the birth of the acoustic guitar. In the 1920’s – 1940’s the most popular genre of music was Big
as Two Cello Sonatas op. 5, the Piano Sonata in E-flat op. 7, the Three String Trios op. 9, and the Three Piano Sonatas op. 10. After about six years, Beethoven parted with Hayden, continuing his music career independently. In 1800, Beethoven released his Symphony No. 1 in C major, later rejecting his work stating, “‘In those days I did not know how to compose’” (Biograohy.com Editors). Soon after, Beethoven composed String Quartets op. 18, his stylings similar to that of Mozart and
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in December 1770 to a musical family living in Bonn, Germany. Although he and his family celebrated his birthday on 16 December, there is no evidence to suggest that this was his exact date of birth, with only the registry of his baptism on the 17th serving as the commonly accepted birth date of this legendary composer. As a child, Beethoven was musically trained by his father and later by other local musicians. His talent was evident from a young age and, exploited
many of one of the greatest musicians to ever live, he was a romantic person who also was great German composer and pianist. He was born in Hamburg, Germany on May 7th of 1833 into the Lutheran family, where his father made a precarious living as a string bass player (Machlis 305). Many had believed he was the next great Beethoven, and he was certainly living up to those expectations. He was a great master of symphonic and sonata styles in the second half of the 19th century (Biography 2015). He was
pursuing his passion. He continued to compose music and never looked back. His early works in the 1800s included piano sonatas and chamber music. His best-known compositions include 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, 1 violin concerto, 32 piano sonatas, 16 string quartets, his great Mass the Missa solemnis and an opera, Fidelio. He is a crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music and remains to be one of the most famous and influential of all composers. (www
Harmonix studios are famous for incorporating music into video games, and even making whole games devoted to music. Their first creation in this realm was Frequency, followed by the game Amplitude, and of course the most famous of their creations, the Guitar Hero series. Guitar Hero is a very unique game in many aspects and was designed to allow the common person to rock out with the best of the best in the rock world. Guitar Hero places you the player as the Guitarist in a band that you name and
would always say, ‘Know what you can. Know everything you can know’” (Sedgwick 17). Sig later uses his knowledge of guns to save himself from a killer. Sig and I both learn the importance of gaining knowledge about what we are doing. I brought a theory book to show how piano requires knowledge. The books focus on teaching rhythm, timing, and technique, all of which I must have knowledge about to be successful. Revolver taught me that in order to be successful in something, it is important to be
classical music. While researching intonation, this iconic American composer came across a book that became one of the most influential items that shaped his way of thinking: Helmholtz’s “On the Sensations of Tone.” He began questioning the very theories that music stood on and eventually, began forming his own beliefs about music. Harry Partch’s philosophy in music was grounded in his appreciation of ancient beliefs and customs that encompassed “total corporeality” which led to his invention of
Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn, Germany, on December 16, 1770. He was the oldest of three children of Johann and Maria Magdalena van Beethoven. His father, a musician who liked to drink, taught him to play piano and violin. Beethoven’s 5th Symphony might possibly be his best symphony out of all 9 of them. In the Beginning of the 5th symphony, it feels like a bad guy in a movie is being introduced for the first time. I can tell a lot of beethoven’s feelings went into his 5th symphony as
After a five-day tour in New York City with jazz vocalist Diane Reeves, Peter Sprague returned home, opened his guitar case, and discovered the neck of his guitar broke somewhere between New York and San Diego. If that not enough reason for him to retire from playing guitar, his diagnosis with arthritis 15 years earlier should have given him reason. But instead of quitting his passion, he continues to play in concerts and produce his own and other people’s CDs. Whether playing to the sounds of
Music is a universal language as it is accepted by the whole world even though some of us might not understand the physical language of the music that they are listening to. There are a variety of music genres for people to choose ranging from pop, rock, bop, techno, swing, rhythm and blues, hip hop, folk music, and many others including my personal favourite, jazz. Being the only daughter in the family with more male cousins than females had made my music preference a little bit different from
Alban Berg began to write lieder in 1901 but first in 1904 he started taking lessons with Schönberg, first in counterpoint and harmony, and since 1907 in composition. In 1910, Schönberg wrote in a letter to his publisher about Berg’s talent: “One (Alban Berg) is an extraordinarily gifted composer. But the state he was in when he came to me was such that his imagination apparently could not work on anything but Lieder. Even the piano accompaniments to them were song-like in style.” As the correspondence
