Tempo rubato

Jovan Stosic February 14, 2019

Tempo rubato ([ˈtɛmpo ruˈbaːto]; “free in the presentation”, Italian for “stolen time”) is a musical term referring to expressive and rhythmic freedom by a slight speeding up and then slowing down of the tempo of a piece at the discretion of the soloist or the conductor. Rubato is an expressive shaping of music that is a part of phrasing.[1]

While rubato is often loosely taken to mean playing with expressive and rhythmic freedom, it was traditionally used specifically in the context of expression by speeding up and then slowing down the tempo. In the past, expressive and free playing (beyond only rubato) was often associated with the terms “ad libitum.” Rubato, even when not notated, is often used liberally by musicians; e.g. singers frequently use it intuitively to let the tempo of the melody expressively shift slightly and freely above that of the accompaniment. This intuitive shifting leads to rubato’s main effect: to make music sound expressive and natural. Frédéric Chopin is often mentioned in context with rubato (see Chopin’s technique and performance style).

Prostate Cancer: How Young is too Young?

Jovan Stosic February 13, 2019

Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous malignancy in men. It is generally considered a cancer of the elderly, and the median age of presentation is 68 years. However 10% of new diagnoses in the USA occur in men aged ≤ 55 years. This may be due to more prevalent screening nowadays, and may also reflect the diagnosis of an increasingly recognized but underappreciated entity, i.e. early-onset prostate cancer. Patients with early onset prostate cancer pose unique challenges. Current data suggest that early-onset prostate cancer is a distinct phenotype—from both an etiological and clinical perspective— that deserves further attention. We present a case of a 28-year-old man who presented with lower urinary tract symptoms and was diagnosed with advanced stage prostate cancer.

Egmont (Beethoven)

Jovan Stosic February 11, 2019

Egmont, Op. 84 by Ludwig van Beethoven, is a set of incidental music pieces for the 1787 play of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. It consists of an overture followed by a sequence of nine pieces for soprano, male narrator, and full symphony orchestra. (The male narrator is optional; he is not used in the play and does not appear in all recordings of the complete incidental music.) Beethoven wrote it between October 1809 and June 1810, and it was premiered on 15 June 1810.

sudo docker pull linode/lamp

– Run, create, or turn on a new container and forward port 80: sudo docker run -p 80:80 -t -i linode/lamp /bin/bash – As the container’s root user, start Apache:

service apache2 start
– Start MySQL:

service mysql start

– Exit the container while while leaving it running by pressing:

ctrl + p then ctrl + q.

– Enter the IP address in a web browser to test the site.

Note
The website’s root directory is /var/www/example.com/public_html/.
