The three musicians and dog conjure a bygone period of bohemian life, enjoyed here by Picasso in the guise of a Harlequin flanked by two figures who may represent poet-friends of the artist: Guillaume Apollinaire, who had recently died, and Max Jacob. The patterned flatness of the work is derived from cut-and-pasted paper, and stands in stark contrast to the sculptural monumentality of Picasso’s Three Women at the Spring, also painted in the summer of 1921.

Discover the top 5 ways musicians can make more money doing what they love.
Do you know what is the main charm of old photos of musicians and bands? Those, you know, shabby, grainy, almost necessarily black and white ones, at the mere glance of which one feels the inexorable passage of time. So, the most important thing here is that the vast majority of them were shot when the musicians were not yet perceived as absolute 'celestials', with a huge staff of managers, press attaches and retouchers, designed to exclude any unsuccessful angle.

We watch House every week. Yep, we know that the whole thing is preposterous; what major (or even minor) hospital, just to get started, has an adminstrator/dean of medicine who not only wears miniskirts but has time to know every case in the ER? The big draw is Hugh Laurie; I've been a fan since Blackadder days, and loved the Jeeves and Wooster shows with Stephen Fry. House is a mope, but Hugh's a hoot....
Major Music History Periods and Representative Composers: Medieval Period: ~500 – 1400 AD (Hildegard von Bingen, Guillaume de Machaut) Renaissance Period: ~1400 – 1600 AD (Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Thomas Tallis, William Byrd) Baroque Period: ~1600 – 1750 AD (Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel) Classical Period: ~1750 – 1825 AD (W.A. Mozart, Franz Joseph Haydn) Romantic Period: ~1825 – 1900 AD (Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert) Modern/20th Century Period: ~1900 – Present (Igor Stravinsky, Aaron Copeland, Phillip Glass) When we talk about Early Music, the date range can be pretty large depending on who you ask. Some define it as all music from the “earliest times” up to the Baroque Era, some narrow the time frame to the Middle Ages through the Baroque, and some add some or all of the Classical period to the mix. For our purposes and study here, we’ll keep it within the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods (about 500 – 1750 AD). The Renaissance era saw new developments like larger ranges for voices and instruments, more music specifically for instruments, and increased music printing. The Reformation (particularly Martin Luther and the Lutheran church services) brought about new musical forms like the chorale, while the Catholic Mass became somewhat shorter and more streamlined with the Counter-Reformation. Dance music continued to be very popular with instruments. As instrumental music flourished, more and more instruments came into use – flutes and recorders, cornets and trombones, tambourines and drums, strings, lutes and guitars. Instrument families (violin, viola, cello) were developed as well. In vocal music, the motets from the Medieval era transitioned to Renaissance motets with a slightly different writing style: Renaissance madrigals came about in Italy and England, usually based on a poem and written in overlapping sections, each based on a single text line:

I am an artist and musician and I already own a piano that I play on a regular basis. My family and I had just moved into a home for the first time, and I wanted a desk for my office but a lot of them were so expensive. Then I came across a post on Facebook of someone turning a piano into a desk.
