Modifying the php.ini file

These instructions show you how to change the file upload size by editing your php.ini file.

For the most part these instructions amount to the following. In the file /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini you need to change “post_max_size”, “upload_max_filesize” and “max_execution_time” to values that suit your needs using whatever editor you are used to.

Below are some line by line instructions for various installations of Moodle

[client]
default-character-set = utf8mb4

[mysqld]
innodb_file_format = Barracuda
innodb_file_per_table = 1
innodb_large_prefix

character-set-server = utf8mb4
collation-server = utf8mb4_unicode_ci
skip-character-set-client-handshake

[mysql]
default-character-set = utf8mb4

– Adjust the $CFG->dboptions Array in your config.php to make sure that Moodle uses the right Collation when connecting to the MySQL Server:

$CFG->dboptions = array(
  …
  'dbcollation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',

Zaide – Mozart

Jovan Stosic March 13, 2019

Zaide (originally, Das Serail) is an unfinished German-language opera, K. 344, written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1780. Emperor Joseph II, in 1778, was in the process of setting up an opera company for the purpose of performing German opera. One condition required of the composer to join this company was that he should write a comic opera. At Salzburg in 1779 Mozart began work on a new opera (now known as Zaide although Mozart did not give it such a title). It contains spoken dialogue, which also classifies it as a Singspiel (literally, “singing play”). Only the arias and ensembles from the first two acts were composed. Missing are an overture and third act.

Diminished triad

Jovan Stosic March 13, 2019

In music, a diminished triad (also known as the minor flatted fifth[citation needed]) is a triad consisting of two minor thirds above the root. It is a minor triad with a lowered (flattened) fifth. When using popular-music symbols, it is indicated by the symbols “dim”, “o”, “m♭5”, or “MI(♭5)”. For example, the diminished triad built on C, written as Co, has pitches C–E♭–G♭:

Cadence

Jovan Stosic March 13, 2019

In Western musical theory, a cadence (Latin cadentia, “a falling”) is “a melodic or harmonic configuration that creates a sense of resolution [finality or pause].” A harmonic cadence is a progression of (at least) two chords that concludes a phrase, section, or piece of music. A rhythmic cadence is a characteristic rhythmic pattern that indicates the end of a phrase.

A cadence is labeled more or less “weak” or “strong” depending on its sense of finality. While cadences are usually classified by specific chord or melodic progressions, the use of such progressions does not necessarily constitute a cadence—there must be a sense of closure, as at the end of a phrase. Harmonic rhythm plays an important part in determining where a cadence occurs.

Cadences are strong indicators of the tonic or central pitch of a passage or piece. Edward Lowinsky proposed that the cadence was the “cradle of tonality”.

Piano Concerto No. 5 (Beethoven)

Jovan Stosic March 12, 2019

The Piano Concerto No. 5 in E♭ major, Op. 73, by Ludwig van Beethoven, popularly known as the Emperor Concerto, was his last completed piano concerto. It was written between 1809 and 1811 in Vienna, and was dedicated to Archduke Rudolf, Beethoven’s patron and pupil. The first performance took place on 13 January 1811 at the Palace of Prince Joseph Lobkowitz in Vienna, with Archduke Rudolf as the soloist, followed by a public concert on 28 November 1811 at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig under conductor Johann Philipp Christian Schulz, the soloist being Friedrich Schneider. On 12 February 1812, Carl Czerny, another student of Beethoven’s, gave the Vienna debut of this work.

The epithet of Emperor for this concerto was not Beethoven’s own but was coined by Johann Baptist Cramer, the English publisher of the concerto.[4] Its duration is approximately forty minutes.
