I sometimes wish I had never built the Woolworth Building because I fear it may be regarded as my only work and you and I both know that whatever it may be in dimension and in certain lines it is after all only a skyscraper." The architect Cass Gilbert wrote these words to his colleague Ralph Adams Cram in 1920 about the building that is generally considered to be his masterpiece. Gilbert was not being falsely modest: When the Woolworth Building was finished in 1913, it was the tallest building in the world, widely acclaimed for the beauty of its Gothic detail and the grace with which it seemed to blend modernist energy and traditional architectural form.
It was all but synonymous with the New York skyline until the Chrysler and Empire State buildings came along in the early 1930s. But its architect never overcame a certain uneasiness about the way in which his lyrical tower got all the attention. What Gilbert wanted most of all was to make civic symbols, and he was never fully convinced that tall commercial buildings were the noblest additions to the cityscape. He didn't like the fact that both he and New York City were better known for the Woolworth Building than for a structure like his U.S. Custom House, an extravagant Beaux Arts palace that is barely more than a tenth the height of the Woolworth but that gives off a spectacular aura of civic grandeur.
Curiously for a man who was the farthest thing imaginable from a proto-Donald Trump, Gilbert's reputation is about to be tied even more to his great skyscraper, sixty-six years after his death. The owners of the landmark building—conscious of the huge demand for housing in lower Manhattan—have announced plans to convert the upper floors of the Woolworth Building into condominium apartments. You can't live in the Empire State Building—at least not yet—but if the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission approves the plans filed by Skidmore, Owings Merrill to redesign the interior of the slender tower section of the Woolworth Building (and add a pair of discreet rooftop penthouses), you will be able to live in what is still, eighty-eight years after its completion, one of the world's iconic skyscrapers.
Gilbert would probably have approved, if grudgingly. He embodied a strange combination of pride and pragmatism, and in effect, both of these qualities are reflected in the changes now afoot at the Woolworth. The greatest pleasure of "Inventing the Skyline: the Architecture of Cass Gilbert," the exhibition that is on view at the New-York Historical Society until January 21, 2001 (and that is accompanied by a handsome book of the same title, published by Columbia University Press), is the extent to which it provides an insight into the way the architect thought. Gilbert was formal, stuffy, ambitious, loyal, conservative in the extreme and more than a little prissy. He believed, quite simply, that architecture existed to confer upon institutions, organizations and cities—and, by implication, people—a certain dignity, even nobility. But he believed with equal certainty that an architect's job was to solve problems, and he saw no conflict between these aims. He had an instinctive feel for beauty and composition, but he also sought a balance between form and practical concerns. Gilbert saw a building as something more than an economic entity or a pure shape; to him, architecture was about both of these things, but primarily it was a symbol of a client's aspirations—and a community's.
In this sense Gilbert was one of the great American eclectic architects who filled American cities with lavish Neoclassical and Georgian and Tudor and Gothic and Renaissance banks and clubs and courthouses and libraries and churches and city halls and train stations and houses for the rich. McKim, Mead White, Carrère Hastings, James Gamble Rogers, Delano Aldrich: They were all his peers, a fraternity of architects who had close ties not only to one another but to the business and cultural establishments of cities all around the country, and they took pride in their belief that they were carrying on the great architectural traditions of Western history. They did most of their work around the same time as Louis Sullivan, Frank Lloyd Wright and the developing modern movement in Europe, but they had no particular interest in modernism. They did not question the order of the world; they believed their mission was to continue it.
The eclectic architects were more inventive than the modernists gave them credit for being, though, and only rarely copied historical precedent directly. McKim, Mead White set a tone of creative reuse of history, and Gilbert, like his colleagues, followed it. Nothing he designed looked precisely like a building from the past; he saw each style as a kind of language, and his goal, we might say, was not so much to memorize Homer as to write new poetry using the vocabulary of ancient Greek. Gilbert and the other eclectic architects cared passionately about monumentality and continuity, and about the notion that cities were places in which great buildings worked together to form a coherent whole.
Gilbert had a narrow view of the world that was typical of his time: He believed that professions were for men—generally white, Protestant men —and professional expertise, like Western cultural history, was invariably to be trusted. His buildings, however, transcended his personal limitations. From the Detroit Public Library to Oberlin College's art museum to the United States Supreme Court building (his last major work, completed just after his death), Gilbert's buildings are masterworks of composition, and they are startlingly fresh. Were he alive today, Gilbert might rant about our continued focus on the Woolworth Building, but "Inventing the Skyline" makes clear how much remains, still, to be learned from looking at this extraordinary tower.
It is a story of a client, Frank W. Woolworth, who made a fortune in five-and-tens and wanted to build a symbol of his corporate power (which he paid for in cash, all $13.5 million of it), and of an architect who found in this commission the perfect blend of his romantic and his pragmatic instincts. Gilbert selected an ambiguous mixture of Belgian and French Gothic as the basic style, since he understood, just as completely as Louis Sullivan did, that the skyscraper had to express verticality if it was to have meaning as a new kind of building form—and what expressed verticality more clearly than the Gothic? And yet he also knew that no cathedral was 792 feet high and contained fifty-five floors of offices, so he had to be inventive.
Gilbert's ideas had actually begun to form several years earlier, when he designed the West Street Building, a few blocks south of the Woolworth. It was his first attempt to design a Gothic skyscraper, and while only a compromised version of it was built (a central tower was omitted, presumably for reasons of cost), its elegance attracted Frank Woolworth and led him to approach Gilbert when he was ready to design his own building. For Woolworth, Gilbert first produced a larger version of the West Street Building, and then, as architect and client worked together, the skyscraper became taller, somewhat sleeker, lighter and thinner in its feeling and more expressive of height.
"Inventing the Skyline" includes several presentation drawings of different versions of the tower, every one of which is stunningly detailed and colored, a world away from the cold computer renderings of today. But more important, they serve as a welcome reminder that no architect, not even Cass Gilbert, developed ideas all at once. The West Street Building and all of the rejected versions of the Woolworth Building were steps in the creative process, every one of them significant. For without them there would have been no masterpiece.

The Gothic Setting Of Frankenstein
One of the most important aspects of any gothic novel is setting. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is an innovative and disturbing work of misery, dread, and remorse that exemplifies what a gothic novel should be. Shelly reveals the story of a man's thirst for knowledge which leads to a monstrous creature that goes against the laws of nature and natural order. Victor Frankenstein, in disgust, abandons his creation who is shunned by all who meet him, yet still feels and wants affection and love. The monster then seeks revenge for his life of isolation and misery. The setting can bring about these feelings of loneliness, sadness, and despair. Shelly's writing shows how the dramatic and gothic settings of Frankenstein can create the atmosphere of the novel and can also effect the actions of Frankenstein and his monster as they go on their seemingly endless chase where the hunter becomes the hunted.
Dark and dramatic moments stand out as the most gothic in the novel. The setting sets the atmosphere and creates the mood. The dreary night of November where the monster is given life is a perfect example of where Shelly uses gothic elements. Victor recites the following: "It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the pains, and my candle was
nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the...

A concertina seems to be an odd thing for a saddler to have in his possession, but the musical instrument at Waikato Museum is not the only sign David Gardiner didn't just make saddles.
Mr Gardiner was Hamilton's first saddler. He had a shop in Grey St in Hamilton East, about where the Book Inn now is.
He started business in 1871 and had an advertisement in the Waikato Times' first issue published on May 2, 1872. From July 1877 to February 1878, he was a member of the Hamilton East Town Board.
Later in 1878, he was elected a member of the first Hamilton Borough Council and represented Hamilton East interests on a controversial works' committee which attempted to fairly represent east and west interests on the council. He stood down from council in 1879.
The museum knows very little about Mr Gardiner. His family donated 26 objects to the museum in 1972 including early Hamilton photos and a lot of saddlery-related objects including knives, badges, pliers, brace and a punch. In addition to the concertina, the family also donated violins belonging to Mr Gardiner.

A: Apache Maven deployed a new version of the Maven Install Plugin to their repositories. It doesn't seem that it should have gone to the Public Repo, but still.
The solution is to fix the Maven plugin version in the Mule POM file.
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.2</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.2</version>
</plugin>

A: It looks like it is problem with incompatibility between new maven install plugin and mulesoft code. In my case it helped to use older install plugin - define in pluginManagement desired version of install maven plugin to use:
    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>2.5.2</version>
    </plugin>

A: We've just run into the same issue with our pipelines this morning, but to stop that NoFileAssignedException when the deploy phase happens, we had to explicitly exclude it within the POM for the Mule app;
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
      <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
  </plugin >
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.2</version>
  </plugin>

Skipping the deploy of the app isn't a problem for us because the built artifact actually gets deployed by Git runner at the moment (in that particular environment).

A: Please update the plugin to version 1.7, that should fix the problem.
<plugin>
  <groupId>org.mule.tools.maven</groupId>
  <artifactId>mule-app-maven-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.7</version>
  <extensions>true</extensions>
  <configuration>
    <copyToAppsDirectory>true</copyToAppsDirectory>
  </configuration>
</plugin>

A: Official support message:
https://support.mulesoft.com/s/article/Mule-Maven-Plugin-fails-during-deploy-with-error-Failed-to-execute-goal-org-apache-maven-plugins-maven-deploy-plugin-3-0-0-M1-deploy
Cause:

A new version of the Maven Install Plugin has been published on the Maven public repositories (3.0.0-M1).
  By default, Mule doesn't define a version for this plugin and picks the last one.

The page lists the following as a temporary solution, and suggests refreshing the above link for updates.
Update pom.xml to specify the Maven version to be used by the Mule Maven plugin:
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.5.2</version>
</plugin>
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.8.2</version>
</plugin>

New - the above is the original solution, which is now the alternative solution. The recommended solution is:

Update mule.tools.version in pom.xml:
<mule.tools.version>1.7</mule.tools.version>

And make sure this property is used by mule-app-maven-plugin:
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.mule.tools.maven</groupId>
    <artifactId>mule-app-maven-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>${mule.tools.version}</version>
    <extensions>true</extensions>
    ...
</plugin>

If you then get an error about unresolvable build extension, run the following from the project directory:
mvn dependency:purge-local-repository -DmanualInclude="org.mule.tools.maven:mule-app-maven-plugin:1.7"

A: Same issue here, which happens because of new version of maven-install-plugin (3.0.0-M1).
Solution for my case is to skip installation of project with custom packaging (karaf-assembly) so adding following snippet in related pom.xml does it:
<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
       <skip>true</skip>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Of course, built artifacts will not end in .m2 directory, but that is ok in my case.

A: This solution worked after adding the following explicit in my project .pom file.

           <plugin>
               <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
               <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
               <version>2.5.2</version>
           </plugin>
           <plugin>
               <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
               <artifactId>maven-deploy-plugin</artifactId>
               <version>2.8.2</version>
           </plugin>

In my project artifiact maven-install-plugin 2.5.2 was already included, but not maven-deploy-plugin. It looks like it is using artifact maven-deploy-plugin under water. While it is not defined in the project .pom file, mvn picks up the last version in the repository (which is 3.0.0-M1) which ends with an error.

A: It is picking 3.0.0-M1 version as it is installed in your m2 repository. you can restrict it by forced versioning. Open .m2/repository/org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-install-plugin/maven-metadata-central-mirror.xml
Change as below to version 2.5.2
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metadata>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-install-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>2.5.2</version>

Watch Keith Ellison Say Women Can Make Things Up!
During a post-primary debate Friday evening on Twin Cities PBS' "Almanac" program, Keith Ellison said, "There's no telling what anyone will cook up," when asked about allegations that he physically assaulted two women. He's right, just ask Judge Brett Kavanaugh.
Whether Professor Blasey Ford has cooked up her story or not, she isn't acting like someone who hasn't. Juanita Broderick is begging to tell her story to the senators. Ellison's accuser will tell her story to nearly anyone or anyone who will listen.
Not only do we have a double standard – one for conservative men and one for progressive men, we also have a double standard for conservative women and progressive women. Our leaders tell progressive women – we feel your pain, we beg you to share your truth. Our leaders tell conservative women – shut up and put some ice on it.

Sessionville awesomeness in your inbox
In Which The Author Endorses Pandora (For Now)
By Kevin Jacoby Senior Editor
Published Sep 10, 2013 in Signal Flow
Read time: about 6 minutes
Internet radio's day in the sun has arrived. You pick your poison and enjoy a constant stream of the music you want to hear, not the music other people want you to listen to.
"How can you be a musician when you hate music?" Keith mockingly snarked at me after I again turned up my Adrien Brody-esque nose at a Lou Reed track I found particularly annoying. This after turning up that same nose at half a dozen other classic, critically acclaimed songs iTunes happened to feel like randomly playing one afternoon at Sessionville HQ, but that I simply was not in the mood for at the time.
This is an ongoing thing with me. I did indeed spend much of my adult life as a professional musician. I studied, I opened my mind, I saw the world and I came back with the same inescapable desire to listen to the same 10 records I always do.
I demand only to listen to a tightly woven catalog bearing such titles as Nightfly by Donald Fagan; Sheryl Crow's The Globe Sessions; Graceland, one of the greatest records ever made by the only worthwhile 50% of Simon and Garfunkle; the adult-contemporary-trope-that-dare-not-speak-it's-name, Ten Summoners Tales by Mr. Sting; and, of course, the greatest recording of all time, the album I want played at my funeral, Kind of Blue by the late, great Miles Davis.
I listen to these and half a dozen other seminal works in their entirety, from track one to the end, over and over and over again whenever my brain demands to be fed music that is at once as sophisticated as The French Laundry yet as comforting as McDonald's. I know every inch of them - the thump of every bass line, the timbre of every vocal performance, Miles' solo on So What - like the back of my very large hands.
Keith is right, of course. One must broaden one's horizons. And music, like all forms of art, is meant to progress lest it languish in a pool of its own obsolescence, condemned to a prison of dusty, music history tomes and 78 RPM vinyl. Further, the other half of my brain, the one that craves novelty, innovation and new information, understands inherently how valuable new music can be. It seeks out unique points of view and begs for a change.
So what's a guy to do? I don't necessarily know what I want to hear at the moment, I certainly don't have time to agonize over the decision, and my catalog, as previously admitted, is a tad thin.
Technology to the rescue.
After downloading and subesequently rejecting Spotify out of hand, I found my way to a source of music technology that everyone already knew about, forgot about, rediscovered, bought stock in post-IPO and then forgot about again: Pandora.
Unless you live in a cave on an island in the sea, you no doubt already understand the concept of Pandora. It's basically internet radio for those with ADHD. You pick a genre, artist or song, hit play and Pandora showers you with track after track of similar music. You can literally listen to it 24 hours a day, occasionally admonishing your digital overlord for a bad choice via the "next" button upon which it tacitly apologizes for its thoughtless transgression and moves on to the next song, making careful note to never again soil your delicate ears with such bourgeois drivel.
Life with Pandora.
It took exactly one month for commerce to come into play. I, like everyone else on the planet, elected to try Pandora for free. My compact with the devil was a trade of endless free music in exchange for being slapped in the face by an ad for Lexus and/or Netflix every few songs. It also interrupted my subconscious revery more than a few times a day to literally ask me if I was still listening. I was.
Somewhere around day 10 I began to wonder how much it would cost to be rid of these distractions. It took me until day 15 to work up the enthusiasm to simply find out that the answer to my question was 36 dollars. But it wasn't until day 26 that I began to seriously consider investing in my musical peace of mind.
On or about the 30th day, my head became so saturated with the constant digital niggling of poorly constructed radio advertising and queries as to my continuing presence at the computer (where else would I be?) that I finally broke down. And in one fluid motion brought my credit card out of its hiding place, through the website and into the loving arms of Pandora's bank. It only occurred to me days later to imagine an evil man in a black hat, alternately rubbing his hands together and twirling a long, black mustache as he cackled at the collection of my 36 quid "right when we were expecting it".
Bring me Bebop.
Having studied, played, built and subsequently aborted a career in Jazz, I tend to find it particularly comforting. It calls back to simpler days when life was only about practicing my instrument, playing dark, smoky clubs and getting drunk. That and the fact that the kind of Jazz I listen to has no lyrical content to distract me from whatever I'm writing at the time is likely the reason I demand that Pandora deliver to me a steady diet of Coltrane, Getz and Hancock.
The fact that opening Pandora's box for a scant thirty six bones (annually) can deliver a never-ending cascade of high quality 'Bop at my every whim has solved one of my biggest problems - that of my obviously way-too-small iTunes library. Add to that the ability to trade Coltrane and Davis for Corea and Brecker with a mere flick of the wrist in those times when I need a little modernity in my instrumental white noise, and you've got the makings of a perfect aural pacifier.
Needless to say, Pandora is also always willing to supplant Ms. Crow and Mr. Sting whenever I ask. And though I usually don't do it at work, the good folks at Gimme Yer 36 Bucks, Inc. were nice enough to ensure that I could enjoy a decidedly more pop inspired catalog via my iPhone, iPad, Roku, and laptop. So when I'm in the mood for something closer to the music I write, and when the furious voice of Keith rings in my ears, demanding that I broaden my horizons lest I become old and dusty myself, musical salvation is always just a click away.
Epilogue: Oh the irony.
Back in the day, Keith and I developed an accord whereby either of us could rightfully veto any song that found its way to the speakers we shared. Of course, he never vetoed anything. And I vetoed everything.
Pandora has a veto button built right in. And as I mentioned, you need only click once to banish a song, not just from the current playlist, but from every one hence forth. And so you might be forgiven for assuming that I have damn near worn out that button. But through an odd turn of synapses and newly formed chemical compounds in my brain that I now refer to as The Pandora Effect, I hit the veto button almost never.
Lou Reed could push his way into my ears just before the Black Keys and after The Roots and I will not only let him play, I will actually listen deeply as I'm wont to do with my old standards, feeling the thump of the bass, the timbre of the vocals and whatever the equivalent to Miles' solo on So What would be in this case. And I enjoy it. A lot.

The Pastoral Symphony
No. 6 in F Major, Opus 68 by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
Composed 1802-1808. Premiered in 1808 in Vienna, conducted by Beethoven.
When we go on holiday we usually choose our destination for a particular reason – perhaps it has beautiful scenery, an interesting coastline, a wonderful climate or we might be attracted by its history and architecture. Once we arrive, we get used to our new surroundings explore the immediate location, venturing further afield each day, gradually exploring the whole region. Sometimes we may come back to a particularly lovely place year after year, always discovering new things each time. This is how many people feel about Beethoven's symphonies – I hope you will too!
With our continuing theme of nature, I had to include Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony. If listening to such a long piece is a new experience and feels a little daunting (it has five movements and lasts about 40 minutes) perhaps start with the fourth movement "The Storm", which is 4 minutes of sheer drama (28'29" on the recording).
Put the volume high enough to hear the huge dynamic range Beethoven uses from the first pattering raindrops and the gradual building crescendo as the storm gathers force. Listen and watch for the energy of the timpani player and the strings playing "tremolo" giving the effect of the thunder – sometimes rumbling in the distance and sometimes terrifyingly directly overhead. The piccolo player's few notes depict flashes of lightning. Towards the end there is a wonderful feeling of relief as the storm ebbs away leading into a chorale passage rather like a prayer, and an ascending scale on the flute which in my mind must surely represent a rainbow.
The Whole Symphony
Beethoven often took long walks in the countryside especially as his hearing deteriorated and he found it increasingly difficult to socialise. He often found inspiration for his compositions on such walks and so always carried a sketchbook – some of these are now housed in the British Library.
His most famous 5th symphony and the 6th (The Pastoral) were composed simultaneously when he was in his 30s and show very different sides to his personality. In the 5th we see a lot of the notoriously stormy Beethoven while on the whole the Pastoral shows him at his most serene.
Each movement has a descriptive title (times on the recording in brackets):
Awakening of cheerful feelings on arrival in the countryside [ 0:00 ]
Scene by the brook [ 10:51 ]
Merry gathering of country folk [ 22:40 ]
Thunder, Storm [ 28:29 ]
Shepherd's song. Cheerful and thankful feelings after the storm [ 32:30]
The first movement has a wonderful, joyful feeling as the title suggests. It starts in a rather unusual way, the first theme coming to a pause after just a few bars. Then tiny fragments from the melody and a very distinctive rhythm are developed immediately until the full-blown version of the theme evolves. Although the movement follows sonata form – the norm for a classical symphony – this technique for developing the material as it is presented, rather than reserving this treatment until the middle (or development section) is very much a hall-mark of Beethoven. The idea of repeating but subtly changing patterns is used extensively in this work, perhaps reflecting the patterns in nature.
In the second movement the sound of gently flowing water is clearly heard in the accompaniment. We feel we are following the course of the river bringing a new scene into view every time the music changes key. Birds are very much in evidence and even named at one point during a short cadenza – the nightingale (flute), quail (oboe) and cuckoo (clarinet).
The third movement where in a traditional classical symphony we would find a Minuet and Trio – a formal courtly dance, Beethoven writes a Scherzo where the 3 in a bar has become so fast it is really in 1. Not for the nobility, this is a dance for the peasants with an extremely rustic sounding trio section in 2 time! Listen how the music gets faster and faster towards the end until it comes to an abrupt stop and the first raindrops start to fall.
The 3rd, 4th and 5th movements are continuous – we have already discussed The Storm which is really an extra movement, the traditional pattern of the symphony having four. After The Storm there is a link to the Finale which has a wonderful feeling of thanksgiving.
The Life of a Musician in Beethoven's Day
Before the unification of Germany and Italy there were many small principalities (kingdoms) each with its own ruler, eg. a Prince, Count or Duke. If they were keen on music and rich enough, they would employ musicians to form an orchestra and a "Kapellmeister" or Musical Director in charge of composing and organising performances for all occasions at court. Classed as servants they were expected to follow orders and wear the livery uniform just like any footman or butler.
If a music-loving prince was succeeded by one who didn't care much for music all his musicians might suddenly find themselves out of a job. Also some patrons might try to influence their resident composer and complain if they were too adventurous or "modern" in their style of writing.
Such were the frustrations that 21-year old Mozart left the services of the Archbishop (Prince) of Salzburg becoming the first "freelance" musician – a very precarious position even for such a talented composer … and he died penniless.
Beethoven's Childhood, Early Career and Deafness
Ludwig van Beethoven was born into a musical family in Bonn (now Western Germany) in 1770. His childhood was turbulent and unhappy with his alcoholic father often literally dragging the young boy from his bed in the middle of the night for a piano lesson.
Herr van Beethoven realised there was money and fame to be had showing off his son's talent as a virtuoso pianist, like the infant prodigy Mozart 14 years earlier. To launch his 7 year old son's career he arranged a concert, lying about his son's age. This fell flat – Beethoven's route to stardom through becoming becoming the "wunderkind" the six year-old Mozart had been.
At the age of 17 Beethoven headed for the cultural capital, Vienna. He hoped to study with Mozart, the greatest composer of the day and had the honour of being accepted. However, he never got to have a single lesson as he was unexpectedly when his mother fell seriously ill. Five years later when he returned, Mozart had died (aged only 35) but the young Beethoven did study with Joseph Haydn, Mozart's mentor and close friend, often called the "Father of the Symphony".
It didn't take long for Beethoven to establish his reputation as the finest pianist in Vienna (and probably the world), a title he earned through the "Piano Duels". Pianists would sparr against each other, improvising on popular tunes of the day, whilst being cheered on by their supporters, rather like a sports event.
Just like Mozart, Beethoven had decided not to be tied to working for a single patron. However his many admirers in the nobility helped him to earn a good living through commissioning compositions and promoting performances of new works in which he would often conduct or appear as soloist. He also taught piano in these circles.
Disaster struck in his late 20s when he realised that he was going deaf – worrying enough for anyone, but for a musician completely devastating.
In May 1802, he went to a country retreat Heiligenstadt outside Vienna to rest on the advice of his doctor. Depressed and unable to hide his increasing infirmity, Beethoven wrote a letter to his brothers which was never sent but which he guarded carefully until his death. It became known as the "Heiligenstadt Testament" and in it he revealed his struggles with deafness. The following extracts give some sense of his mood:
"O ye men who think or say that I am malevolent, stubborn or misanthropic, how greatly do ye wrong me ….. but reflect now that for six years I have been a hopeless case …. I was compelled early to isolate myself, to live in loneliness ….. yet it was impossible for me to say to men speak louder, shout, for I am deaf. Ah how could I possibly admit such an infirmity in the one sense which should have been more perfect"
Although he was almost totally deaf by the end of his life, Beethoven composed to the last, hearing all the music completely inside his own head. His legacy was probably the most important of any composer in history.
Signposts for Further Exploration
The Nine Symphonies of Beethoven
Whereas Haydn, Beethoven's teacher, is sometimes called the "Father of the symphony" as he wrote 104 and established the pattern for its 4-movement form, Beethoven is considered its absolute master. Many subsequent composers have been so much in awe of Beethoven's symphonies that they have felt it an almost impossible act to follow.
Every one of the nine symphonies is totally different and they span Beethoven's entire career, the First being written in 1800 and obviously very indebted to Haydn, and the Ninth "The Choral Symphony", written for the largest orchestra to date, soloists and a massive choir. His setting of Schiller's Ode to Joy is often a young musician's first experience of Beethoven, but they have no idea of the scale of the piece from which it comes!
Here is a link to live recordings of all nine played by different famous orchestras, in some of the most amazing concert halls around the world:
https://www.classicfm.com/composers/beethoven/guides/beethovens-symphonies-where-start/
Beethoven the Romantic
The essence of the Romantic Movement was the expression of beauty of nature and the emotions through art. Beethoven was born in the same year as the English poet William Wordsworth who is one of our best-known Romantic poets. It could be argued that the Pastoral Symphony was one of the earliest musical works to express these Romantic ideas.
You might be interested to read some Wordsworth and see the similar thinking between the great composer and the great poet. There were similar parallels in painting as well with many artists painting often quite idealised scenes of the countryside.
A Very Special Orchestra: the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra
The performance I have chosen is by the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra under its Director and Founder Daniel Barenboim.
Founded in 1999, the orchestra is based in Seville, Spain and consists of young musicians from right across the Middle-East and also Spanish backgrounds. Bringing together players of these often conflicting backgrounds for an annual course and a concert tour, the orchestra plays at the highest level and in the spirit of reconciliation – something which I am sure the great humanitarian Beethoven would have thoroughly approved of.
It is best described in Barenboim's own words:
"The Divan is not a love story, and it is not a peace story. It has very flatteringly been described as a project for peace. It isn't. It's not going to bring peace, whether you play well or not so well. The Divan was conceived as a project against ignorance. A project against the fact that it is absolutely essential for people to get to know the other, to understand what the other thinks and feels, without necessarily agreeing with it. I'm not trying to convert the Arab members of the Divan to the Israeli point of view, and [I'm] not trying to convince the Israelis to the Arab point of view. But I want to – and unfortunately I am alone in this now that Edward [Said – co-founder] died a few years ago … create a platform where the two sides can disagree and not resort to knives."
One of the young musicians of the orchestra reinforced this point:
"Barenboim is always saying his project is not political. But one of the really great things is that this is a political statement by both sides. It is more important not for people like myself, but for people to see that it is possible to sit down with Arab people and play. The orchestra is a human laboratory that can express to the whole world how to cope with the other."

The tiny Bay Area newspaper 'Hromada' links the West Coast and Ukraine
KQED | By Chloe Veltman
DEBBIE ELLIOTT, HOST:
A tiny monthly Ukrainian-language newspaper in the San Francisco Bay Area has become an important resource for Ukrainian immigrants there. It covers news from the home country and raises money for victims of the war. Chloe Veltman of member station KQED reports.
CHLOE VELTMAN, BYLINE: Copies of the monthly newspaper Hromada can be found at around a dozen locations in Northern California. There's a pile on a small wooden table as you step into the Immaculate Conception Ukrainian Catholic Church in San Francisco.
(SOUNDBITE OF BELL RINGING)
UNIDENTIFIED PEOPLE: (Singing in Ukrainian).
VELTMAN: Orest Balytsky moved to the U.S. from Ukraine in the early 1990s. Over coffee and pizza in the church basement after a recent Sunday service, the regular Hromada reader tells me the mainstream U.S. media has been too focused on the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine.
OREST BALYTSKY: It's quite shocking and quite depressing, too.
VELTMAN: In contrast, he says, Hromada offers clear-eyed political analysis from trusted sources on the ground in Ukraine, like nationally renowned journalist and regular Hromada contributor Vitaly Plotnikov.
BALYTSKY: Like, when you listen to Portnikov, he analyzes a little bit different, so it's much more sober.
VELTMAN: Also attending this church is Lydia Stoykovych. She uses Hromada to keep up with news and local events through its monthly print run of a thousand copies, as well as its more frequently updated online and social media channels.
LYDIA STOYKOVYCH: Hromada helps unite, spread the message and give a voice to a lot of the people who are here.
VELTMAN: According to the U.S. Census Bureau, California has around 60,000 Ukrainian immigrants, the second-largest population in the country after New York. Yet there are far fewer Ukrainian media outlets on the West Coast than there are on the East. Hromada not only covers the news, but it also promotes fundraisers and protests against Russian aggression.
Stoykovych says this effort has been crucial.
STOYKOVYCH: Having local activities, local events be publicized is critical and what people in California want - on the West Coast - want to hear because this is where we are. This is where we can take action. This is where we can help.
LESYA CASTILLO: Our priority is to unite community and to serve community.
VELTMAN: That's Lesya Castillo. Hromada's co-founder and editor-in-chief, says she got the idea to start a Ukrainian-language newspaper not long after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014 and things started to destabilize in her home country.
CASTILLO: Our newspaper is something that I dreamed of starting because there was a need.
VELTMAN: It took Castillo a couple of years to pull together the necessary resources to start her publication with an all-volunteer team. Hromada has closely followed and reported on the events unfolding in Ukraine ever since. It has also sent several hundred thousand dollars in aid back home since launching in 2017. Yet Castillo says the Russian invasion in late February still shocked her.
CASTILLO: I couldn't imagine that Russia would start bombing Ukrainian citizens on such a large scale.
VELTMAN: The editor says she had just a few days to totally rethink the March edition.
Correspondent Karyna Nikitishyna quickly filed a brand-new story from her hometown of Kyiv.
KARYNA NIKITISHYNA: (Reading in Ukrainian).
VELTMAN: Here she is reading an excerpt from her March column in which she describes what it felt like when the windows of her home first started to shake as bombs exploded nearby.
NIKITISHYNA: (Reading in Ukrainian).
VELTMAN: Nikitishyna just turned 21. She tells me she spent hours trying to buy a birthday cake for herself in Kyiv's empty grocery stores. In the face of this turmoil, she says the work she does for her Hromada feels important.
NIKITISHYNA: To provide information for Ukrainian people overseas who are far away from their ancestral home and who need to know real news about what is going on in here.
VELTMAN: The newspaper's name, Hromada, means community, and it provides a way for people over here to stay connected during this difficult time.

Spread out the newspaper and lay it flat. Then fold it horizontally, and then vertically. Cut or tear the result into 5-inch strips, which will comprise the pots.
Avoid using the shiny, colored newspaper pages, which are toxic.
Roll the strips around a tall spray paint can or salad dressing jar with a concave bottom, allowing 2 inches of paper to overlap the bottom of the can or jar as you roll it up.
Fold the hanging edge of the paper inward, two or three times, packing it to form the bottom for the pot. Tamp the form on a stable surface several times to set the bottom.
Place the wrapped container on the solid plastic tray. To reduce its chances of opening and falling apart, leave the bottom of the tray damp.
Poke holes in the bottom of the tray to allow water to drain.

Ukraine Will Spend $5.752 Million on Infrastructural Projects
by Roman Cheplyk
The Ministry of аinance provided plans and an amount to improve the country's infrastructure
Following the adoption of the 2022 budget, it was announced that $5.752 million had been allocated to improve the country's infrastructure. Of course, everyone was interested in what will be changed and how it would be realized for such an amount. Therefore, the Ministry of finance of Ukraine completely disclosed the repair and construction of roads, modernization of river transport, and others.
Olexander Kava, вeputy minister of finance, made an official statement. It became clear from the speech that the money would be spent on construction and the maintenance of roads of national importance.
"These funds will be used for the reconstruction, construction, and maintenance of public and local roads, as well as for the modernization of railways, airports, and river transport," he said.
It is planned to continue the construction and reconstruction of bridges in some country cities in 2022. The Zaporizhzhia bridge (the administrative center in Zaporizhzhia купшщт, Ukraine) and the exit bridges of the left-bank part of the capital can be guaranteed to wait for the start of repairs. It is also noted that in the central part of Ukraine, the city of Krуmenchug, construction of a bridge in Krimenchug will begin.
Many infrastructure projects have been submitted. But some plans are beginning to be implemented nowadays. For example, work on constructing a new bridge in Krimenchug, which we have reported above, has already started this year. The construction of the H-31 Expressway, which will provide a short route to several regional centers of Ukraine, is also underway. According to the project's plans, it will be possible to travel from the capital to the sizeable Ukrainian city Dnipro for 4 hours. The speed limit will not be disrupted, and the total travel time will be reduced by almost half.
In conclusion, it should be recalled that on December 8, the зresident of Ukraine signed a law allocating $70.910.87 from the budget of 2021 for roads. This amount represents an additional investment in infrastructure.
