"I put in a CD of violent music, and then turned it up until it drowned out other voices." pg 48 Midnight Sun, Stephenie Meyer.

20 mins of research of what "violent music" Edward might have been listening to- Apocalyptica cello metal band. It would definitely be right up his alley. Angsty. Melancholy. "violent" yet still have classic music elements. Albums was released January 18, 2005

The Mandalorian Theme (Cello Cover) - Nicholas Yee

Sometimes my mind cannot relax. Thoughts racing through my head. In our current times we all experience this more.

I've tried several (successful) calming methods. Some are hiking, some meditations. One of these methods is listening to cello solos. It's low tones put me into such a fucking calm....nothing will break it. LOW TONES.

Give it a try, if you need to clear your mind. Any good solo cellist is cool. Yo Yo Ma, however, is really cool.

Don't let the world break your calm.

"Handel Halvorsen" refers to a well-known arrangement of a movement from Georg Frideric Handel's harpsichord suite in G minor (HWV 432), adapted by the Norwegian composer and violinist Johan Halvorsen into a virtuoso piece for two string instruments, typically violin and cello or violin and viola. The resulting piece, titled "Passacaglia (After Handel) for Violin and Viola", is a famous classical composition known for its beautiful, catchy theme and flowing, repetitive harmonic foundation.

Mozart and Haydn String Quartets

The composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791) and Joseph Haydn (1732–1809) were friends. Their relationship is not very well documented, but the evidence that they enjoyed each other's company is strong. Six string quartets by Mozart are dedicated to Haydn (K. 387, 421, 428, 458, 464, 465, the "Haydn" Quartets).

Haydn was already a fairly well-known composer in Mozart's childhood. His six string quartets Opus 20 (1772), called the "Sun" Quartets from the drawing of the sun on the cover of the first edition, were widely circulated and are conjectured (for instance, by Charles Rosen) to have been the inspiration for the six early string quartets K. 168–173 the 17-year-old Mozart wrote during a 1773 visit to Vienna.

The two composers probably weren't able to meet until after Mozart's permanent relocation to Vienna in 1781. Haydn's presence was required most of the time at the palace of Eszterháza in Hungary some distance from Vienna, where his employer and patron Prince Nikolaus Esterházy preferred to live. During the winter months, the Prince moved to the ancestral palace of his family in Eisenstadt, bringing Haydn with him. In these periods it was often feasible for Haydn to make brief visits to Vienna, about 40 km away.

As Jones notes, there were various points in the 1770s and early 1780s when Haydn and Mozart might have met, Haydn visiting Vienna from his normal work venues of Esterháza and Eisenstadt, Mozart from Salzburg. The earliest at which it is likely they would have met is 22 and 23 December 1783, at a performance sponsored by the Vienna Tonkünstler-Societät, a charitable organization for musicians. On the program were works by both Haydn (Jones: "a symphony and a chorus, both probably from [the oratorio] Il ritorno di Tobia") and Mozart ("a new concert aria, probably 'Misero! o sogno!' [K. 431], and, on the first night, a piano concerto.

Jens Peter Larsen suggests that "quartet playing was central to the contact between Haydn and Mozart", although the documentation of the occasions in which the two composers played or heard quartets or other chamber music together is slim. One report of such an occasion comes from the Reminiscences (1826) of the Irish tenor Michael Kelly, who premiered Mozart's most important operatic lyric tenor roles.

The composer Maximilian Stadler also remembered chamber music performances in which Haydn and Mozart participated: the two of them took the viola parts in performances of Mozart's string quintets, K. 515, 516, and 593.

Mozart's death

Haydn, still in London a year later when the news of Mozart's death reached him, was distraught; he wrote to their mutual friend Michael Puchberg, "For some time I was quite beside myself over his death, and could not believe that Providence should so quickly have called away an irreplaceable man into the next world". Haydn wrote to Constanze Mozart offering musical instruction to her son when he reached the appropriate age, and later followed through on his offer.

Italian composers and instrumentalists born in the second half of nineteenth-century Italy can be seen as the children of a true cultural revolution of the **Risorgimento. This revolution was induced by the need to create a new national musical identity, disengaged from the iconic and dominant role of opera. In fact, for much of the nineteenth century, the operatic tradition had overshadowed the instrumental one, which began to regain particular momentum and diffusion only after 1860.

**Risorgimento is an Italian word that means "rising again". It refers to a 19th century political and cultural movement that led to the unification of Italy in 1861.

How did the Risorgimento happen?

French reforms during the Napoleonic era inspired the movement.

The middle class grew in numbers and became more involved in Italian government.

Giuseppe Mazzini formed the political movement Young Italy to unite Italian youth.

In 1859, the Austrians were driven out of northern Italy with French aid.

In 1861, Victor Emmanuel II was accepted as the first king of a united Italy.

Significance of the Risorgimento

The Risorgimento helped to create a national consciousness in Italy.

It freed the Italian states from foreign domination.

It led to the establishment of the Kingdom of Italy.

Other uses of the word "risorgimento"

The word "risorgimento" can also be used more broadly in English to refer to revivals or renewal.
