Michel-Ange (Michelangelo Buonarroti) (Caprese; 1475 ndash; Rome; 1564)Michel-Ange; comme Leacute;onard de Vinci; avait plusieurs cordes agrave; son arc et eacute;tait agrave; la fois sculpteur; architecte; peintre et poegrave;te. Il porta agrave; leur apotheacute;ose le mouvement musculaire et leffort; eacute;quivalents plastiques de la passion; agrave; ses yeux. Il faccedil;onna son dessin; le poussant jusquaux limites extrecirc;mes des possibiliteacute;s de son acirc;me tourmenteacute;e. Il ny a aucun paysage dans la peinture de Michel-Ange. Toutes les eacute;motions; toutes les passions; toutes les penseacute;es de lhumaniteacute; furent personnifieacute;es dans les corps nus des hommes et des femmes. Il ne les conccedil;ut presque jamais dans limmobiliteacute; ou le repos.Michel-Ange devint peintre pour exprimer agrave; travers un mateacute;riau plus malleacute;able ce qui animait sa nature titanesque; ce que son imagination de sculpteur voyait; mais que la sculpture lui refusait. Ainsi cet admirable sculpteur devint le reacute;ateur des deacute;corations les plus lyriques et les plus eacute;piques jamais vues dans lhistoire de la peinture : les fresques de la chapelle Sixtine au Vatican. La profusion des inventions disseacute;mineacute;es sur cette vaste surface est merveilleuse. Ce sont en tout 343 personnages principaux qui sont repreacute;senteacute;s avec une varieacute;teacute; dexpressions prodigieuse; plusieurs de taille colossale; agrave; cocirc;teacute; de figures plus secondaires introduites pour leur effet deacute;coratif. Le creacute;ateur de ce vaste plan navait que trente-quatre ans lorsquil sattela au projet.Michel-Ange nous oblige agrave; eacute;largir notre conception du beau. Pour les Grecs; le critegrave;re eacute;tait la beauteacute; physique; mais Michel-Ange; sauf dans quelques exceptions; comme sa peinture dAdam sur le plafond de la chapelle Sixtine; et ses sculptures de la Pietagrave;; ne precirc;tait que peu dattention agrave; la beauteacute;. Bien que maicirc;trisant parfaitement lanatomie et les lois de la composition; il osait les ignorer toutes deux; si neacute;cessaire; afin de suivre son ideacute;e : exageacute;rer les muscles de ses personnages; et mecirc;me les placer dans des positions inapproprieacute;es au corps humain. Dans son ultime fresque; celle du Jugement dernier sur le mur de lautel de la chapelle; il laissa se deacute;verser le torrent de son acirc;me. Queacute;taient les regrave;gles en comparaison dune souffrance inteacute;rieure qui devait seacute;pancher ? Cest agrave; juste titre que les Italiens de son temps parlaient de la terribilitagrave; de son style. Michel-Ange fut le premier agrave; donner agrave; la forme humaine la possibiliteacute; dexprimer toute une varieacute;teacute; deacute;motions psychiques. Dans ses mains; elle devint un instrument duquel il jouait; comme un musicien sur son orgue; en tirant des thegrave;mes et des harmonies dune diversiteacute; infinie. Ses personnages transportent notre imagination bien au-delagrave; de la signification personnelle des noms qui leur sont attacheacute;s.

Shifting through 1st through 5th positions happens somewhat regularly; but the majority of this can be played in 1st position if desired. The end goes all the way to the high end of the fingerboard. There are some double stops as well. The high position work at the end is short enough to make it a good; manageable challenge piece for anyone who hasnt played in the higher positions.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. Lovely cover and great tunes!By nightlistenerIve been a violinist for quite a while now; so when I found this sheet music from my favorite Lindsey music video; I couldnt resist. The first thing I noticed after cutting the packaging is that its pretty light; which isnt always a bad thing. The cover looks a bit glossy and the cover art looks amazing; just like in the music video. Its a bit fragile but its fine. The contents inside hold a separated violin solo sheet music (back to front) and attached to the book; sheet music showing both violin and piano sheet music. Page turning to the back is awkward and clumsy; and even though it would be cumbersome; I wouldve preferred if the sheet music was on separate sheets. The sheet music matches up perfectly with the music video and sounds absolutely lovely when played. Think of Me sounds especially beautiful and if you play it with a friend; it doesnt sound half bad! However; the book could have been improved. If the violin solo music is separated; then there should also be a separated piano accompaniment sheet music as well along with both parts on sheet music. Though Im not quite sure; in some parts of the music video; I saw an orchestra accompanying Lindsey; so perhaps there could have been orchestra sheet music as well. Yes; I know this is a solo violin and piano medley but it would be awesome if there were bonuses such as guitar and drum set sheet music and an accompanying CD. That being said; this is a great book with great sheet music that is a brilliant sounding medley of a brilliant soundtrack. There could have been some extras but Im not complaining too much. Kudos to Lindsey!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Dreams come trueBy Elisa BoyntonVery nice addition to my teaching library for more advanced students exploring third position and beyond. Students have been enthusiastic about this option to develop a quick bow and use 3rd position in modern context!
