https://lnkd.in/dk727sUD A. S. Gallo: Lyric Pieces for Youth Band - Vol. II No. 2 - Idyll This second volume of Lyric Pieces follows the first, published by Mulph in 2023. The new collection includes five other little and easy original pieces, especially suitable for instrumental groups of children or non-professional musicians (the degree of difficulty is 2 - 2.5). As in the first volume, the musical language is tonal, melodious and discursive. The pieces, of moderate difficulty, are in different keys with various metric indications, in order to encourage the musical growth of young instrumentalists with a wide metric and harmonic variety, always maintaining constant technical simplicity. Guides and replacements are frequently used, to allow the performance even to incomplete or poorly balanced instrumental groups. The total duration of the suite is approximately ten minutes. This collection is dedicated to the wind orchestra Corpo Filarmonico G. Donizetti of Corbetta (Milan), and to its conductor Davide Casafina, that in May 2024 gave the first performance of the first volume of Lyric Pieces.

LOVE ART? PLEASE SIGN! France and Luxembourg have opted to introduce new VAT rates for the art trade, with rates of 5.5% and 7% respectively, in line with a European directive eliminating the margin regime. While each member state retains the freedom to determine its own VAT rate, the Belgian Ministry of Finance proposes implementing a 21% VAT on the entire price of the artwork. This proposed increase of VAT could result in unfair competition with our neighbouring countries, posing a threat to the viability of galleries, fairs, and auction houses in Belgium. Furthermore, it could undermine the market for Belgian artists. Belgium currently ranks as the 11th largest art market globally. It is imperative to safeguard this position to ensure that artists and galleries can continue to promote, explore, and disseminate Belgian culture both domestically and internationally. If you have not done so already, please sign the petition via the following link: https://lnkd.in/e_Gm44rD

#AnalysisOfTheEntry #Entry: "Honor is - Of course honorable, but there are some dichotomous needs that exist for every civilization to thrive - that is the nature of the fabric; it's made up of rigid yarn." #Interpretation 1. #Dichotomy and #Balance:**   - The passage highlights the dichotomous nature of civilization's needs. It implies that while honor is vital and inherently positive, there are other, possibly conflicting, needs that must also be met for civilization to thrive. 2. #Structure and #Strength:**   - The metaphor of fabric made up of rigid yarn suggests that the structure of civilization is complex and built upon strong, perhaps inflexible, principles. This rigidity can be both a source of strength and a potential limitation. 3. #ImplicitContrast:**   - By stating "honor is honorable," the passage sets up an implicit contrast with the "dichotomous needs" that are necessary but not necessarily honorable. This contrast points to the complexity of maintaining a civilization that upholds ideals while also addressing practical, sometimes contradictory, necessities. #Conclusion The entry uses the metaphor of fabric and rigid yarn to illustrate the complex and multifaceted nature of civilization. It emphasizes the importance of honor while acknowledging that a thriving civilization requires more than just honorable qualities; it must also navigate and integrate various #DichotomousNeeds. This analysis reveals the delicate balance and inherent tension within the foundations of a successful society. https://lnkd.in/eJuiFyUq
