Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Paul Wittgenstein (November 5, 1887 ? March 3, 1961) was an Austrian-born concert pianist, who became known for his ability to play with just his left hand, after he lost his right arm during the First World War. He devised novel techniques, including pedal and hand-movement combinations, that allowed him to play chords previously regarded as impossible for a five-fingered pianist. He commissioned several pieces for the left hand from prominent composers, including Richard Strauss, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Paul Hindemith, Sergei Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel and, later, Benjamin Britten. He was the older brother of the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein. ... Read more

He was the seventh of eight children born to Julius and Fanny Joachim. His father was a wool merchant. Joachim was born Jewish, and spent his infancy as a member of the Kittsee Kehilla (Jewish community), one of Hungary's prominent Siebengemeinden ('Seven Communities') under the protectorate of the Esterházy family.

Le livre consiste d'articles Wikipedia sur : Paracelse, Werner Stauffacher, Joseph Joachim Raff, Othmar Schoeck, Xavier Koller, Franz Curti, Ugo Rondinone. Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Philippus Theophrastus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, dit Paracelse, né en 1493 ou 1494 à Einsiedeln (près de Zurich) en Suisse centrale, mort le 24 septembre 1541 à Salzbourg en Autriche, fut un alchimiste, astrologue et médecin suisse, d'expression allemande (dialecte alémanique). Cet esprit rebelle et mystique, typique de la Renaissance, est à l'origine de pensées très modernes, telles que la médecine du travail ou l'homéopathie. « Deux particularités majeures marquent de façon distinctive la vie de Paracelse : une perpétuelle effervescence et un esprit critique violent et agressif. » On peut ajouter que deux particularités majeures marquent sa pensée : un style hermétique et une recherche profonde. Qu'on en juge par sa définition de la vie dans le traité De vita longa : « La vie n'est rien d'autre qu'une certaine mumia agissant comme un baume et préservant le corps mortel des vers mortels et de la corruption grâce à une liqueur mêlée de sel. » Memorial à EinsiedelnParacelse naît en 1493 ou 1494 dans le village d'Einsiedeln, un centre de pèlerinage, près de Zurich, en Suisse. Il a pour prénom Théophraste, pour nom Bombastus von Hohenheim. Son nom complet est Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombast von Hohenheim. Sa mère, suisse, est intendante de l'hospice d'Einsiedeln. Son père, Wilhelm Bombastus von Hohenheim, est un chimiste et médecin souabe. En 1502, à neuf ans, suite aux guerres souabes, Théophraste déménage à Villach, en Carinthie (Autriche), avec son père.

Extrait : Joseph Joachim, né le 28 juin 1831 à Kittsee près de Bratislava, (aujourd'hui Autriche), mort le 15 août 1907 à Berlin, est un violoniste et un compositeur austro-hongrois de confession juive. En 1833, le commerçant Julius Joachim déménage à Pest pour assurer une bonne formation à ses enfants. Alors qu'il est âgé de quatre ans, un étudiant offre au petit Joseph un violon jouet et lui apprend à en jouer. Très vite se manifeste chez Joseph une remarquable musicalité, si bien qu'après peu de temps le Konzertmeister de l'opéra de Budapest se charge de l'enfant. Il fait ainsi ses débuts en public à l'âge de sept ans et à douze ans on reconnait déjà sa virtuosité, que l'on compare à celle de Henri Vieuxtemps (1820-1881), Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840) et Ole Bull (1810-1880). Pour mieux développer le génie musical de Joseph, la famille déménage à Vienne. Les plus importants pédagogues-violonistes du siècle, Georg Hellmesberger (1800-1873) et à partir de 1840, Joseph Böhrn (1795-1876) deviennent ses professeurs. À Vienne il rencontre les virtuoses comme Heinrich Ernst, Charles-Auguste de Bériot, Henri Vieuxtemps et les sœurs Milanollo. Il découvre aussi sa passion pour le quatuor à cordes.
