Farewell To The Homeland
The polonaise Farewell to the Homeland (; ) in A minor is a composition for solo piano, commonly attributed to the Polish people, Polish composer and politician Michał Kleofas Ogiński. This piece was allegedly written around 1794, after the Kościuszko Uprising, which the composer participated in. Farewell to the Homeland is extremely popular and recognizable in Russia, Poland and Belarus. However, there is no known autograph manuscript bearing the composer's signature. There are also no sources to confirm that the date of composition is 1794. The earliest piano arrangement of the piece is from 1831, signed by Kasper Napoleon Wysocki. Authenicity Though the piece is commonly attributed to Ogiński, neither the autograph manuscript nor the piano publications during the composer's lifetime have survived or been found. There have also been no mentions of the polonaise in his ''Letters of Music'' (1828), where he mentioned other popular compositions of his. The earliest piano v ...

Classical Guitar
The classical guitar, also known as Spanish guitar, is a member of the guitar family used in classical music and other styles. An acoustic wooden string (music), string instrument with strings made of catgut, gut or nylon, it is a precursor of the modern steel-string acoustic guitar, steel-string acoustic and electric guitars, both of which use metal string (music), strings. Classical guitars derive from instruments such as the lute, the vihuela, the gittern (the name being a derivative of the Greek "kithara"), which evolved into the Renaissance guitar and into the 17th and 18th-century baroque guitar. Today's ''modern classical guitar'' was established by the late designs of the 19th-century Spanish luthier, Antonio Torres Jurado. For a right-handed player, the traditional classical guitar has 12 frets clear of the body and is properly held up by the left leg, so that the hand that plucks or strums the strings does so near the back of the sound hole (this is called the classical p ...

In 2023, the dance was included on the UN ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
