Q5)Finally … ? Toward’s the end of his life, Stravinsky experimented with what’s called Twelve Tone Technique. The technique is also called twelve tone what: serialism, cacophony or flattened fifths?
A5)Twelve tone serialism. (It’s very distinct from serialism: Frank Zappa was a fan of the latter.)
Here’s a thought …
“Of what use is freedom of speech to those who fear to offend?”
Q5) Duchess The event yesterday went well, I think, although the initial write up for it only talked about some workshops and some speeches in the morning, but they also had a paella (the third event in a row I've done where they've had a paella, and the second one where the paella is a vegan one), and several music groups playing in the afternoon, but I didn't stay for that. Neighbours from the blocks affected spoke, and it is quite a terrible situation, as the old buildings are being taken over by big companies who kick everybody out (a lot of the people are only renting), and then refurbish them and set them up as fancy apartments for short-lettings, that bring much more money in. (They are not giving any new licenses for touristic apartments in Barcelona, but there is a gap in the law about short-term lets). Basically, the neighbours who've been living there for years cannot afford the prices. I was talking to a guy from an organisation defending the neighbours, and he was telling me that they might charge as much as between 2000 and 3000 euros per apartment per month, when the basic salary is just over 1000 euros (1050). And this neighbourhood is not particularly fancy or anything. Because Barcelona is by the sea and it has hills on the other side, it is a bit limited as to expansion (and there are other cities it has already grown into, so building more is not a good option). I hope you have a great Sunday.
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
