Clarinet cello piano trio repertoire10/11/2023 ![]() Just have a listen to the wonderful piano trio by Rebecca Clarke, who was born and raised in England but relocated permanently to the United States after the outbreak of World War II. Of course, that’s not entirely correct as it mainly reflects how the history of music has been written. It often seems that chamber music has been firmly in the hands of male composers. ![]() That chamber music work is one of the reasons that Arensky has not been forgotten, and the famed Leo Tolstoy suggested, “among the new composers, he is the best he is simple and melodious.” Antonín Dvořák: Piano Trio No. One thing is for sure, Arensky had an easy gift for melody, and “some of his subtle musical nuances have been damningly described as being too pretty.” Arensky himself described his chamber music as “a dramatically self-assured music of lyrical beauty.” Arensky was 43 years old and taught at the Moscow Conservatoire when he composed his D-minor Piano Trio. Instead, he combined his native musical influences with a much more cosmopolitan compositional style. He will quickly be forgotten.” And some mean-spirited critics even called Arensky the “tiny Tchaikovsky.” What really irritated Rimsky-Korsakov and other critics was the fact that Arensky was not particularly interested in musical folklore or Russian musical identity. ![]() Rimsky-Korsakov callously said, “in his youth, Anton Arensky did not escape some influence from me later the influence came from Tchaikovsky. 542 has been “described as the crowning glory of Mozart’s work in the genre.” Anton Arensky: Piano Trio in D minor, Op. In the end, of course, Mozart got it perfectly right and the E-major Trio K. I read that he produced a large number of trio sketches and left several half-finished attempts. However, he seems to have found it difficult to wed the sounds of the improved piano to the string instruments. Stein’s instruments have this special advantage over others that they are made with an escape action.” I have always assumed that the process of composing was very easy for Mozart. It never jars, it is never stronger or weaker or entirely absent. In 1777, Mozart wrote to his father, “In whatever way I touch the keys, the tone is always even. This particular mature piano trio had to wait until Mozart’s discovery of the new pianos by the Viennese makers Stein and Walter. “When will we meet again for a small musique? I have written a new trio,” identifying the Trio K. This type of chamber music was probably written for Mozart’s circle of friends as he wrote to his benefactor Michael Puchberg in 1788. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed six complete works for piano, violin, and cello, or what we would call piano trios. For me personally, piano trios are one of the crowning achievements of chamber music, and I decided to compile a list of my ten personal favourites. These experimentations resulted in a huge number of glorious piano trios composed over roughly three centuries. A scholar writes, “The piano trio had to wait upon the evolution of a truly efficient instrument, one with enough power to match the strings in the ensemble and sufficient mechanical capability to ensure clarity in the attack and release of notes and precise damping.” Once that was accomplished, composers began to experiment with blending and balancing the ensemble, and to find ingenious ways of distributing the thematic materials among the instruments. There is a simple explanation for that, and it all has to do with the relatively slow development of the piano. Instrumental trio groupings had been popular for a while, but the piano trio arrived relatively late on the classical music stage.

For half the world’s population to be so meagrely represented is yet another stain on the Oscars in particular and on the film industry in general. In nearly a century of the Oscars, nearly 200 writing awards have been given out, but only 18, or less than 10%, have been won by women.

Ccleaner review naked10/10/2023 ![]() You can use Windows cleaning options and other third-party tools that do a better job at tasks like finding duplicate files. CCleaner is fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO spyware or. It can also clear your internet history and act as a fully featured registry cleaner. It removes unused files from your system, allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. If you rarely run low on disk space, only use one browser, and don't mind updating software manually, then there's really no need for you to use it. CCleaner is a system optimization/cleaning tool. So whether you should use CCleaner depends on your needs. And some CCleaner tools, like Uninstall and Startup, just duplicate Windows functionality and are thus of little use. TreeSize is a much better disk analyzer and Patch My PC is better at updating software. Many of these are free and often do a better job than CCleaner.įor example, Windows's Disk Cleanup handles a lot of what CCleaner's cleaning tools do. However, you can access a lot of CCleaner's features in other utilities and software. ![]() And the Drive Wiper and Software Updater (if you pay for Pro) are useful.

This makes it easy to secure your data before you give your phone away or sell it. The Uninstall tab duplicates the methods for uninstalling provided in Windows, though it does make it easy to save all your installed programs to a text file. It offers a feature to erase all data and make it unrecoverable. CCleaner is an Avast company since the 2017 acquisition. Here you'll find several additional utilities of varying usefulness.

While most people regard CCleaner's Registry cleaner as better than other random ones online, you still don't need to use it. In fact, if a Registry cleaner is too zealous, it can actually cause more problems than it solves. While orphaned entries and other minor problems do occur in the Registry over time, there is no good evidence that cleaning the Registry will speed up your computer.

Blue check mark copy and paste instagram10/10/2023 ![]() And remember that Instagram will never request payment, and will never contact you. Instagram scammers know that people and businesses feel outsized emotions about the blue check, and some are pretty effective at appearing legit, so stay on your guard. The same goes for any third-party app or random account that offers “full refunds.” And for any random account that DMs you because they want to sell you their badge because they “don’t need it anymore.” We’ll get this one out of the way first: that guy in your comments who says his friend works for Instagram? Please do not give him money. Don’t try to buy an Instagram verification badge We’ve gone ahead and compiled all the best practices that will maximize your chances of getting verified as you move forward with your quest to prove your brand’s noteworthiness. But actually getting approved is a lot tougher. So, yes, anyone can apply for verification on Instagram. Within a few days or a week (some say it can take up to 30 days), you’ll receive a direct yes or no. Because of historical and ongoing issues with scammers, Instagram is very clear that they will never email you, ask for money, or otherwise reach out. For businesses, a utility bill, an official business document, or tax filings will do.Īccording to Instagram, after their team reviews your application, you’ll receive a response in your notifications tab. For individuals, that could be a driver’s license or passport. You also need to submit a photo of your official government ID.Select your category or industry (for example: blogger/influencer, sports, news/media, business/brand/organization, etc.).Your “known as” or working name (if applicable).Go to your Instagram profile and tap the hamburger icon in the top right corner.The verification process on Instagram is actually quite simple: If you’re a visual learner, watch our video that covers everything you need to know about getting verified on Instagram. How to get verified on Instagram in 6 steps If you’re relatively confident you meet these criteria, or you just feel like rolling the dice, it’s time to go ahead and verify your Instagram account. Notable: this is where things get subjective, but Instagram defines a notable name as one that is “well-known” and “highly searched for.”.Complete: do you have a complete bio, profile picture, and at least one post?.Public: private Instagram accounts do not qualify for verification.Unique: only one account per person or business can get Instagram verified, with exceptions for language-specific accounts. ![]() Authentic: does your account represent a real person, registered business, or brand? You cannot be a meme page or a fan account.On top of that, your account must meet each of these criteria: Here is what we do know about eligibility.įirst, you must adhere to the network’s Terms of Service and Community Guidelines. Instagram is blunt, saying that “Only some public figures, celebrities, and brands have verified badges on Instagram.” In other words: “only accounts with a high likelihood of being impersonated.” Just because you have a blue checkmark on Twitter or Facebook, for instance, doesn’t guarantee you’ll get one on Instagram. So, if you’re running an account that’s right on the cusp of “notable,” how do you know if you meet the criteria? However, Instagram is notoriously picky (and in many ways mysterious) about who actually gets verified. Who can get verified on Instagram?Īnyone can request a verified badge on Instagram. Get the list of secret shortcuts Hootsuite’s own social media team uses to create thumb-stopping content. In other words: if it is true that verified accounts earn higher engagement on average, it’s because they’re posting great content that resonates with their audience.īonus: 14 Time-Saving Hacks for Instagram Power Users. That said, Instagram is clear that verified accounts (just like business accounts) don’t get special treatment from the Instagram algorithm. They’re rare, and exclusivity lends a certain amount of prestige-which may or may not translate to better engagement. Source: easy to see why verification badges are also a coveted status symbol. They’re easy to spot in search results and on profiles, and they convey authority. These badges are designed to make the real accounts stand out, so that Instagram users can be sure they’re following the right person or brand. As with Twitter, Facebook and, yes, Tinder, the little blue checkmarks are meant to indicate that the platform has confirmed the account in question is trustworthy, or at least they are who they say they are. You’ve probably seen plenty of verification badges around. Instagram verification is the process of getting a blue checkmark badge that tells other users on the platform that an account really belongs to the user, artist, brand, or organization it represents.
