collective sound of the pianos all playing different tunes at the same time. This was said to sound like tin pans being banged together in an alleyway.

A number of publishers started building their businesses in the same location of Manhattan. The time period in which Tin Pan Alley ended is unsure.…

In his lieder inspired by Klaus Groth’s “Es hing der Reif”, Brahms highlights both the dreamy and nightmarish aspects of fixating on love by floating in-between the relative keys of A minor and C major, introducing foreign “problematic” harmonies and chord members, and implying a strong sense of irony when concluding lines and stanzas. By never truly establishing a key until the very last lyrical statement, Brahms keeps the piece suspended in a dreamy uncertainty. This is evident even as early…

This piece is based on pitch set classes 01346, 0124, and 014 as well as their respective inversions and transformations. The piece is set in an ABA’-like form and explores the versatility of the clarinet. In the beginning, the piano introduces the theme of 01346 and following measure presents a chord of 0124 with the melody harking back to tonality by using an unprepared suspension. These set classes form the A part of the piece. Measures 3 and 4 presents 02356 in the treble while its inversion…

So next time you go to a McDonalds, be wary for he could be lurking around any counter or any booth. Be warned, if you travel to McDonalds to seek Waldo for his fame, you will most likely never find him, for he only reveals himself to those who have the…

I had landed a pretty sweet job at an Insurance company named All…

StrengthsQuest assessment and discovered my five themes: Restorative, Input, Developer, Futuristic and Empathy. At first, I was unsure if the results of the assessment would encompass me, but I do feel that I embody a large portion of my themes. In “My Signature Themes”, a downlodable PDF description of my themes, Restorative describes a problem solver- someone who enjoys fixing or reviving things. Initially, I did not see myself as Restorative because I associated being a problem solver with…

holes are part of. When stars are classified as being part of any binary system, while its visible companion is within the gravitational pull of the black hole, the effects will become highly noticeable. In the astronomical community exist two major signatures of black holes in any binary system that must be discussed in great detail. In the first system there will be a center of mass between a black hole and visible star that they will coherently orbit. While applying Kepler’s famously known…
