Radio 3 dying

[EdgeleyRob]

An acciaccatura is the "Sunday Best" name for a "Grace Note": a very fast note just before a note in a melody (about as fast as the first "p" in "Phnomm Pennh"): the "chirps" in the flutes at the start of Mahler #4, f'rexample.

An appoggiatura is longer note (traditionally half the length of the note that follows it, but the late Romantics made them last forever!) - it's an expressive dissonance added to a chord to make it gorgeous/slushy/treacly (according to taste).

on the telly they do these maths progs and like they never really explain any equations eh .....but they do it in all these lovely places ... but R3 is like better because you can tweet Sara and phone in about the Mahler that was on when the cat died .... and with the music you can imagine the places and tell Rob and Sara and its lovely and i never did like equations ... and we never did Italian at school ..... and what was Grace doing with your note S_A?

.... considered by many to be remarkable for its mathematical beauty. These three basic arithmetic operations occur exactly once each: addition, multiplication, and exponentiation. The identity also links five fundamental mathematical constants:

The number 0, the additive identity.
The number 1, the multiplicative identity.
The number π, which is ubiquitous in trigonometry, the geometry of Euclidean space, and analytical mathematics (π = 3.14159265...)
The number e, the base of natural logarithms, which occurs widely in mathematical and scientific analysis (e = 2.718281828...). Both π and e are transcendental numbers.
The number i, the imaginary unit of the complex numbers, a field of numbers that contains the roots of all polynomials (that are not constants), and whose study leads to deeper insights into many areas of algebra and calculus, such as integration in calculus.

"I went to hear Krushnamurti speak. He was lecturing on how to hear a lecture. He said, 'You must pay full attention to what is being said and you can't do that if you're taking notes'. The lady on my right was taking notes. The man on her right nudged her and said, 'Don't you hear what he's saying? You're not supposed to take notes'. She then read what she had written and said, 'That's right, I have it written down here in my notes'".

I've only just noticed this - excellent definitions! Of course Wagner created a new harmonic language out of unresolved appoggiaturas, though they're not usually called that.

Of course, the anecdote might actually be true.

I've always asumed Cage was already "out" by then...

goes without saying , really !!

Is it true that constipated mathematicians work it out with logs ?

excellent. well done. correct. did you learn the definition of these terms from Radio 3, or by some other means? if you don't mind me asking.
