  1. Credo che anche sforzandoci, sarà sempre difficile per noi capire cosa abbia rappresentato il rock and roll per quegli anni...

    @cultura

    La novità dirompente che ha portato.. e lo choc culturale! ^^

    Ma anche adesso queste esibizioni trasmettono tutta la gioia della musica, del ritmo, del corpo in movimento.

    Cose che forse ora abbiamo un po' perso.

  2. Ieri è stata la #giornata #europea della #Musica. Tra le varie iniziative, vi segnalo il #Concerto dell'#orchestra degli studenti del #Conservatorio #NiccoloPaganini di #Genova diretta da A. Canonici, nell'ambito della #nottebianca del conservatorio con il seguente programma:

  3. #Study from Sep '25 claims they've proven that #pianists can alter #timber, #brightness, w/ how they play (the #percussion #instrument by pressing keys).
    But for all its wordiness, they never describe a single #technique used, they never discuss what they saw w/ all those cameras. They don't say what #music they used or its complexity, how the #listeners heard it (was it #recorded? #live in the room?).
    Put simply: I don't believe them (& I'm a pianist).

  4. The Bagatelle No. 25 in A minor for Solo #Piano was written #today in 1810.
    It became known as "Fur Elise" (For 'Elise') only after it was discovered posthumously and #published in 1867, 40 years after the #composer's death(!), in an #anthology by Ludwig Nohl, "New Letters by #Beethoven".
    The inscription read: "For Elise on April 27 in memory by L. v. Bthvn"
    But, who was "Elise"?!? Scholars suggest three possibilities.

  5. You know how the #pianoforte inspired musical keyboard is kind of "tuned" to play most naturally in C, and to play in the 11 other keys you have to learn 11 other fingerings for all your chords and scales? Well... Why do we do that? We can push a button and retune a keyboard to any tonic, and play it as though it were C. That's what you do on a diatonic instrument, so how about let's just do that?
  6. 🌱 Sprout Garden 🌱

    By now he should be used to the mechanics of the thing.

    The identity arrows progress without transformation

    The cyclers change the shape of the thing:

    - colour : red > green > yellow > blue
    - shape : cicle > square > triangle > star

    By now we've learned about function, now it's time for composition.

    How you construct something within the constraints is important. There are often hidden constraints in how a tool is used.

    For example, a cycler is configured to pass through a sprout to its cardinally opposite edge.

    [we teach our littles to RTFM at a young age in this house]

    The guide says a Grower seeds in all directions and sprouts as a pass through. This precludes its use in the corners as shown below.

    One must teach constraints before one can teach constraint based thinking.

    We cannot being our journey until we have reached the a base camp of understanding.

  7. Had a lovely chat this morning about education

    Learned something new

    [as you do]

    Now we're going to put it to the test.

    Fences in #wanderland are named functions.
    Fences in #wanderland are data nodes that inject themselves as markdown tokens directly in the stream
    Fences in #wanderland are user extensible MCP tools, constrained through declaration not sandbox

    And I need to teach each 🪿 a fresh how to use them. So we create required reading lists, a shortcut to a series of semantic hops on the road to knowledge. Establishing the vector we need to perform aligned, collaborative work.

    A brilliant woman figured that out a century ago. We're just walking in her footsteps
