Foundation Music Art Science Summer school

Here is info about the Foundation for the Revival of Classical Culture, www.fftrocc.org that ran a very great summer school in 2016 and is scheduled to do it again.... so read about the program and see what you think. It took place at schools and other sites in New York City, NY.

The Summer School 2016 princiDONATE/SUBSCRIBE WHY MUSIC AND SCIENCE? The fundamental characteristic of the human mind—every human mind, past, present and future—is creativity, expressed most beautifully in man's capacity for.... development and creativity. ​ JOIN US FOR THIS YEAR'S SUMMER SCHOOL! creative play. This creative play is the basis of both science and art. It is famously reported of Albert Einstein that when he ran into a roadblock in his scientific work, he would retreat into the world of creative play of Classical music—playing his violin late into the night until, as would sometimes happen, the music would suddenly stop, and he would report, “I've got it.” Einstein insisted that “imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
​ These sentiments of Einstein echo the great genius Johannes Kepler (1571-1630), founder of physical astronomy, whose work forms a key part of the educational program of the Foundation. Kepler's discoveries of the physical cause of the motion of the planets, and of the musical harmonic principles which order the motions of the Solar System as a whole, demonstrate the absolute coherence between ... art, music and science. The Foundation for the Revival of Classical Culture is recognized as a public charity under Internal Revenue Code section 509(a) and has 501(c)(3) status.

Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and A at 432

The Mendelssohn Violin Concerto is one of the all time favorites as a violin showcase piece.  At usually under 25 minutes, it is a very tasty piece of music for sure. The beginning part is fireworks, and the middle is slow and contemplative.... As for the third part.... give me a few more minutes !! Really is fireworks too, but different, more development, triumpant in major key... wonder if it is G major?? That is the relative major to E minor...

The violinist is Jascha Heifetz, a rather talented star of the recording world who died in 1986 at the age of 86.  But, here is an extra twist.  People have been using electronics to lower an A (La) =440 cycles per seconds to the Verdi tuning of A=432 cycles per second or Hz.  

Is this more appealing or not?? You be the judge, and comments are welcomed. 

For more info on the natural A=432 Hz. tuning vs. the unnatural standard A=440 (or 442, 444, etc.) Hz. please visit:

Beethoven Violin Concerto in D Major

The Beethoven Violin Concerto in D major, Op. 61 has been called one of the greatest show pieces for the violin....  It is a bit funny in the first (corrected) movement there is a melody that was used in a campy camp song that goes like "Georgie"-- I go oooh oooh to Georgie, and he goes ooohoooh to me."  In all, this is a very light and bouncy piece, though with sad overtones... In fact, it easily goes from major to minor key and back...

Speaking of "Georgie" ----That won't be the first modern take offs of great classical melodies.  Here is the youtube of the great conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler in 1953, with violinist Yehudi Menuhin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RE-kBjTRtsU  Actually first link is with Furtwangler conducting... the second one apparently Menuhin is the violinist and conductor... if that is correct...

from the Youtube notes:
