War affected the soldiers physically also. They never ate a balanced meal. They were lucky in the movie that they found a duck to eat. Soldiers worried little about hygiene, there was no indoor plumbing. The soldiers were exposed to all kinds of vermin, for example rats and lice. Being in poor physic health can really hurt a person. It must have been a painful struggle even getting up every day to fight for your life and country.…

Thousands of the stories about the German Nazi’s war atrocities during World War II have followed their Jewish victims into their make shift mass graves to be silenced for eternity. For every Auschwitz that is recorded in the History books, there are hundreds of unknown and untold stories of the horrors performed on unsuspecting and undeserving victims, whose voices were erased from ever pointing blame or ever being heard. For a lucky few, even though the word lucky might be challenged, they averted death at the hands of the Nazis. These few went on to be living documents of the senseless and brutal nature of the treatment of Jews in German occupied territory during World War II. In the movie The Pianist, one such victim’s story is told, Wladyslaw Szpilman, a well-known Polish composer of the time, lived to write about his experiences in the Warsaw ghetto and the persecution of the Jews at the violent hands of the Nazi Germans. Director Roman Polanski, a Jewish ghetto camp survivor himself, takes Szpilman’s tragic story and displays it on the screen in a way that shows the desperate and helpless plight of the Jews against the tyrannical and unwavering brutal hands of the Nazi soldiers.…
On Sunday April 7 , 2013 I attended the Junior Recital for Michelle Ellison (soprano) and Rachel Stanton (piano) at Oberlin College & Conservatory. Coming to my second show at Oberlin College I really didn’t know what to expect this time around. On this nice day at Oberlin College I observed many students outside playing their instruments and various groups outside singing in circles enjoying the weather. I could tell that these students were very passionate about music. Inside of the conservatory building the recital was held inside of the Kulas Recital Hall. This was my first time entering a room that was made specifically for musical recitals. The hall wasn’t too big but it was large enough to fit a nice sized crowd in a narrow room.…
In the 1700’s the piano was invented by Bartolomeo Cristofori in Florence, Italy first introduced to the world as the "pianoforte" meaning “Soft loud”. “In the last quarter of the 18th century the piano had become the leading instrument of the western art of music that still lives on till today as an exotic instrument played by talented people in the world.” (Wendy Powers, 2003) Music has lived on from the beginning of time by all cultures and races for decades. Music is known to make the heart, soul, and brain one. Without this invention Beethoven would have not made the music that lives on till today and many other talented famous throughout the world. The piano reaches out to the most inner deepest soul all the way to keys that charge up chakras for well-being. A piano has 8 white keys c,d,e,f,g,a,b,c and 5 black known as the Chromatic scale which is 13 including next count which correlates with the 8, 11, 13 chakras.…
The Piano Lesson, written by August Wilson and directed by Lou Bellamy is placed in the 1930’s and is about an African American family haunted by American slavery. The play mainly focuses on a piano that has been in this African American family for decades. The piano represents strength and courage. During the production not every single scene and line in the playwright was included in the production. It was not actually needed because the actors were really able to get the meaning across through other aspects. It is his escape from the burden of having to work for someone else. Although he does want to make something of himself, it does not mean he has good or bad intentions. To Bernice the piano holds the will of her family. To some characters in the play particularly one, Boy Willie the piano represents his key to freedom. Although he does want to make something of himself, it does not mean he has just good or just bad intentions.…
There is a four-stringed musical instrument which has been making the history of music in Europe musically rich. This instrument is called the violin. This four-stringed instrument has been immensely used in both Classical and modern music. It has been a timeless instrument that has been present in European music history. Musicians adore it because of its delightful musical capabilities. As a background, Peter Gammond stressed that, “The violin is capable of great agility and violinists like to show off their dazzling technique, so most violin concertos and other violin compositions give opportunity for virtuosity to delight the violinist and his audience.” (54) Surprisingly, aside from the fact that it has been the leading instrument during…
