Spain...the Granada cathedral, the Charles V Palace in Alhambra, or
the Oval room in Seville Cathedral (Even though it's considered
world's largest Gothic cathedral)...They'd buffer me well from getting
Stendhal syndrome in Florence someday...:P
...the most famous Renaissance Spanish artist - El Greco (1541-1614),
whose paintings were often found being painted after by Picasso,
etc...
...Scott Ross. Differencias.
Antonio de Cabezon (1510-1566). Spanish composer and organist of the
Renaissance...was blind from early childhood, traveled widely in
Europe and settled in Madrid Spanish royal court.
A big Fan
Difference btw piano and organ...
There are two major differences. One is capacity, range of expression,
and the other is mode of playing.
The piano is a percussion instrument, whose sound production is
elicited by the striking of a mallet on a string. The sound thereby
can be sustained for a progressive diminution of duration by means of
a sostenuto pedal being depressed by ones foot.
The organ is a wind instrument, whose sound production is elicited by
means of wind being blown thru a pipe(if a pipe organ- not familiar
with other kinds) the initiation of which is caused by the depression
of a connected key. A key on an organ has a different engineering: it
will cause the pipe to sound indefinitely as long as it is activated.
But when unpressed, the sound production is immediately, and totally
stopped. That of a piano as noted above, can be sustained for a
limited amount of time. And on the organ, there are doors that can be
closed, which make for a far off distant sound, and volume pedals for
volume control; plus multiple stops for all kinds of different sounds,
mimicking those of orchestral instruments or just about any kind of
sound you can think of, on the older theatrical organs.
