There are some things you never write in this thesis, but would be very curious and sometimes I also wonder if it would be more interesting than what I'm writing then I do not remember really ...
if I have already talked about but my dissertation deals with The Turn of the Screw, is the story of James, the opera by English composer Benjamin Britten. One of the first things that catches the eye looking at the birth of the two works is this:
Just before you start writing The Turn, James had to leave for medical reasons in the habit of hand-writing his work, he bought a typewriter for the time a purchase highly TECHNOLOGY, and had to hire someone who began to dictate his works. I might add curiosity cut early feminist ... hired a man for this delicate task, then when he realized that a woman would cost him less, he decided that a female presence would be more appropriate. In
1953-4 Benjamin Britten had already received the commission for a new work from the Venice Biennale, and was preparing to write, but had to stop for a while 'work because of bursitis that forced him to rest completely and that was the cause of the cancellation of several concerts that also saw him as a conductor.
Now, I do not know what do you think about it, but I'm a bit 'more cautious this time and I'm careful not to lift heavy weights and do not make sudden movements with his arms ...
