* 13 Special Guest: Sunday 22, No Fahrenheit 451: The best books you give away, you DO NOT burn them

December 21, 2013 

Dear friends, I must point out that I myself attend an appointment:

We writers reagaleremo our books. The writers meet readers in the square, to give their books. This is an important gesture: it is an awareness that the culture is disseminated and never oppressed.
At Christmas, “You yourself A Book.” This book gives it its author directly. At 16.00, in Piazza del Popolo (Rome), December 22 will be giving away our books to passersby.

All writers will go to “Piazza del Popolo” (including myself) at 15:50. Everyone will wear a cap or a scarf or a scarf or bandana red. And each one will offer 10 or 20 books WRITTEN BY THEIR themselves, lined with white paper written on it (by hand, with the PC, with a marker) ONLY the book’s title and author’s name. Within the books there will be a bookmark or postcard or business card with signature or dedication.
At 16.00 we will distribute the books to passers-by, asking them to give them away after reading them and we will ask them to comment on our sites / blogs / pages.

My sister gave me the image of Him (Johannes Brahms), thus illuminating the shadowy spring day.

 

And that gift was the alternation of light and cloud in the alternating movement of the two themes decidedly mixed. The first theme, very lyrical and melancholy, brings an atmosphere of sore nostalgia for events never happened and he evoked. Like a restless throb along a century. And this is in contrast to the second theme, introduced by woodwinds, Notable for its intense rhythmic and bringing the emotional rainbow as the omen of summer rain (4 minutes and 10 seconds.) – And the yearning of the arches in 4 minutes and 40 seconds.

 

In this sonata for the first time is not required to repeat the exposure of themes, which are two: the first is drawn in from the opening two sections of violins, cellos and horns from the second, and it is characterized by the broad range of seventh . The absence of a second exposure sheds particular light on the relations between the different moments of the movement, in the development undergone by the first theme, there is one that appears in the second half for the use wind instruments, which seem to want to turn everything into a choir, from which, however, the theme wriggles free quickly to return to his true nature melodic.

 

What a paradox: what was an early in his career as a composer room, which was tricky with the wind instruments, uses an imposing orchestra here and follow it by arches, which Gently reproduce musical cells that make up their towing. As the silence after the rain, as soon as interrupted by the whispers of the rays of the clouds thinned out.

 

Me and the picture of him with my sister and from the eighth minute the musical work, with the whole orchestra this time, we invite everyone who is willing.

January 19, 2013

Tilda: here in “Orlando”, she offers the unconscious is both masculine feminine of each of us, and the story of an empire, and the story of the desire to be a father and a mother. In this film, SHE is a gift: a continuous offer of the possible manifestations of what she can be. She and Tilda’s character, are both a generous range of possible desires of all who we can be.

Beautiful music: the labyrinth is a search for his own meaning of life in the flow of the history of her sex, the history of England. And this music that repeats the rhythm in ascending order for the final explosion: a NEW BIRTH.

This movie, that book, that actress, that woman was Virginia Woolf; that music is a whole: an absolute masterpiece. The video “scene of the labyrinth”: HERE
