Ora e sempre (anche a Londra)

Scritta "siamo tutti antifascisti" su un muro, a Londra

Federica is being illegally detained by the Israeli government right now. Demand safety, release, and the end of the illegal siege. Your solidarity is protection. #GlobalSumudFlotilla #FreePalestine

14 anni. E sempre con lo stesso copione. Io sono stanco, stanco che chi potrebbe (dovrebbe) fare qualcosa continua ad essere indifferente. #DossierHamer

Articolo del corriere della sera: "Il cancro di Francesco, curato con i fanghi. A processo i genitori di Hamer". Occhiello: "Vicenza.", la coppia ha deciso rifiutato pure la biopsia, certa che il figlio 14enne si fosse ammalato per scarsa autostima"

I've started a course in English Literature, and I told the professor I took a course with him ten years ago. He replied:

Dean Norris' Reaction or Hank's Reaction meme: two contrasting photographs of actor Dean Norris in which he smiles in one and puts on a displeased, somewhat angry or serious expression in the other.

Below each expression, text reads: "I remember you quite well".

The meme signifies that the professor might be either very pleased or very displeased to see me after so many years.

La prefazione della trascrizione originale è pura poesia. Lo spartito è sempre sul mio pianoforte (ovviamente la sua musica so solo leggerla, non suonarla)

Ever since the release of THE KÖLN CONCERT recording on
ECM in 1975, I have been asked by pianists, students, musicologists, and others, to publish this music so others can play it. I have steadfastly resisted for at least two reasons: (1) this was a totally improvised concert on a certain night and should go as quickly as it comes; and, (2) it is almost impossible to transcribe many sections as they are on record.
However, since this improvisation already exists in one permanent format (recording), and the transcription only represents the music (although it is incredibly close sometimes), I finally decided to publish this authorized edition.
By authorized I mean that I have personally overseen every step (and almost every note) of the final transcription process. While this edition is as close as possible to the music on the record, there are many places where notes are correct, but time is not, because on the recording I am playing completely out of metronomic time.
There are also places where we had to choose between alternate inaccuracies. Also, we decided that notation would actually work against accuracy, since none of the notation methods of which we were aware were correct for much of the piece. It would almost need notation on every note to be accurate. For instance, on pages 50 and 51 of Part lla there is no way to obtain, on paper, the real rhythmic sense of this section. There is much more going on on the recording, but this "going on" does not always translate into notes on paper. Many notes are inferred by the rhythmic sense; others depend on the harmonics or attack of the previous note (or notes).
So, writing down all the notes would give more of a false view of the sense of this section than selecting some notes. And yet, even this selection cannot reveal the real sense of this section as an improvisation, where listening is what determines the music's strength.
So — we are looking at, let us say, a picture of an improvisation (sort of like a print …

I'll never understand why so many children's books are designed like this—black text on a very dark background (the phone corrects the image; it's much darker in real life). It's a huge #accessibility issue, especially since children's rooms are usually quite dark at bedtime. It's such a struggle!

Sometimes I do miss #Salerno
