Post 6: International Music Score Library Project

The site I choosed names "IMSLP", that means "International Music Score Library Project" (https://imslp.org/wiki/Main_Page). This site is a very big library that provide us almost  scores from almost every composer, so it's a very important tool for musicians and music students. Also, the site provides some historical recordings, musicological information and orders the music by date. Something that I like so much is to see if the piece of work that I look for belongs to a bigger work or to know something about its context.

This site was created by Edward W. Guo in 2006, and since there, it has became a very useful tool for musicians. I would recommend it to allo kind of  people who need music scores. When you find the music piece you’re looking for, you usually have many options of scores, depending on the year, editor, scan quality. Evenly, you can download antiques manuscrips from the works, like Bach, Beethoveen, Debussy, etcetera. So, if you need scores, I totally recomend you this site.

Here's an example: the famous Bach's cello prelude (the "song of spaghetti") , written by his wife, Ana Magdalena, scanned and uploaded to IMSLP.

Music for ours brains

 

I’m totally convinced that music is a natural process for every people. I think that our brains are made for music, to understand and communicate with it. About I know, music is like a gym for us. With music you can trains your listening, attention, execution, mathematics, theory, view meanwhile you are communicating with other people, with yourself and with your practice (instrument, voice, composition, etc.).

A friend always said: “the music can connect us with our best version”. I think that when we put our most authentic love and energy in a discipline we all can reach our best version. I hope make it through the music.

So, as I study composition, I hope that in present and future the music that I compose, the instruments that I play and the classes that I make, could approach other people to this vital experience.

Spaghetti with basil pesto

 One of my favorite food are spaghetti with basil pesto. It consists in a portion of spaghetti "al dente" with a portion of basil pesto and if you want, you can add salted mushroms and also, if you want, a simple tomato sauce with fried tomatos. Finally, You can add some grated parmesano cheese.

Basil pesto is a preparation where You mix: basil leaves, olive oil, garlic, nuts, pepper and salt. 

I like it so much because it has a delicious flavor and it's very easy to prepare it. Also it has an special green color.

I think that in a reasonable amount it's very good, because it has many fresh and healthly ingredients, but it can have a big amount of calories. However, it's a delicious food.
