Why didn't Schubert complete the Unfinished Symphony?

Sometimes it is difficult for an ordinary person to understand the way of life that creative people lead: writers, composers, artists. Unlike workers, they are not engaged in productive labor, their labor is from another city. Franz Schubert, a German composer, lived only 31 years old, but wrote over 600 songs, many beautiful symphonies and sonatas, a large number of choirs and chamber music. He worked very hard. But the publishers of his music paid him little. Lack of money always haunted him.

The exact date when Schubert composed the Eighth Symphony in B minor (Unfinished) is unknown. It was dedicated to the Musical Society of Austria and Schubert presented two parts of it in 1824. Further, the manuscript lay for more than 40 years, until a Viennese conductor discovered it and performed it at a concert.

Forever remained a secret of Schubert himself, why he did not finish the Eighth Symphony. It seems that he intended to finish the work, the first scherzos were completely finished, and the rest were in sketches. But something must have happened that prevented him from finishing the work, and the Symphony remained unfinished. But even so, it's a masterpiece.

Why is it illegal to die in a Norwegian city?

On the territory of the Norwegian town of Longyearbyen, located on the island of Svalbard, it is forbidden by law to die. This is due to the fact that in permafrost conditions, buried bodies do not decompose and attract the attention of polar bears. Therefore, all seriously ill patients are sent to other parts of Norway, and if the death was nevertheless recorded in Longyearbyen, the deceased will still have to be buried elsewhere.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

5G antenna in smartphone screen 05.04.2019

In recent years, smartphone displays have received many improvements, their frames have become noticeably narrower, fingerprint sensors have been integrated under the screens, and some screens with the help of vibration allow you to play sound instead of a conversational speaker.

LG has announced that it has developed a process to integrate a 5G antenna directly into a smartphone display. However, sources say that this is too loud a statement. In fact, a flat antenna will simply be attached to the back of the screen.

This decision will allow the Korean company to save space inside the device. The technology also allows you to mount 5G on the inside of the back of the smartphone, but LG decided to leave this part for the wireless charging system.
