  4. While, Benjamin Franklin never met Beethoven, He did know both Mozart and Johann Adolph Hasse while living in Paris. It’s said that the three men had a great mural respect for each other.

  6. And finally, “L’Armonica” AKA “Ah Perché col Canto Mio” is a cantata composed by Italian-German composer, operatic tenor and music educator Johann Adolph Hasse (youtu.be/igxoowwQoOE?is=HJm-Aq). It was composed around 1769 which was only around 10yrs after Benjamin Franklin invented the Glass Armonica!

  8. It was rumored that The Glass Armonica could cause listeners and the instrumentalists themselves to lose their minds. Once word began to spread they were smashed en masse to protect audiences and musicians alike. At the time no one connected the dots between the fact that many Glass Armonicas were made out of lead glass and painted with lead paint 😑

    Just four years after he signed the Declaration of Independence—but before the colonies would win the war that granted their freedom—Benjamin Franklin was already thinking about the future.

  26. @afelia Warum nicht alle Krankenhäuser? Ich sehe hier links und rechts ältere Mitpatienten in ihren Zimmern leiden. In dieser Hitze fühlt man sich hier menschenunwürdig behandelt. Es gibt nicht einmal Standventilatoren aber dehydrierte Menschen.
    Ich schätze, privat bezahlte Zimmer sind anders ausgestattet.
