Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
.... many sicknesses and confinements. Although Mozart had initially thrived in Vienna, since he was in great demand as a performer and composition teacher, and his opera, The Abduction from the Seraglio, was a hit, life was seldom easy for him. He was a poor businessman, and finances were always tight. Political infighting at the Vienna Court kept him from obtaining the patronage that composers of the period so greatly relied upon, and he descended to a life of genteel poverty.
In 1787, Mozart visited Pra .....

.... and the E-flat cornet," he once remarked.
Harding's undeviating Republicanism and vibrant speaking voice, plus his willingness to let the machine bosses set policies, led him far in Ohio politics. He served in the state Senate and as Lieutenant Governor, and successfully ran for Governor. He delivered the nominating address for President Taft at the 1912 Republican Convention. In 1914 he was elected to the Senate, which he found "a very pleasant place."

William Wodsworth
.... Dorothy's rendition is her ability to mold the words into a flowing wave, like when she says, "about the breadth of a country turnpike road. I never saw daffodils so beautiful they grew among the mossy stones. . ." (Norton, 293) It strikes me that she is trying to set a mood. Her mood is not exhilaration or excitement but rather complacency, or a thoughtful pondering. The way that she leaves the daffodils on page 294 again proves this: "There was here and there a little knot a few stragglers a few ya .....

I fell head-over-heels in love with Fannie, a very well educated young woman herself, skilled in both music and art. She was also very strong-willed and rather fond of "fancy things", like .....

The Harmful Effects Of Discrimination And Segregation
.... many
black children were given a variety of white dolls and black dolls. They were then told to describe what they
thought of each doll. The results were in fact that majority of the young black children related the bad
characteristics with the black dolls and the good characteristics with the white dolls. It was then proven that
segregation and discrimination have long term inferiority issues with the children.

She’d rather guess it was something like “we’re not going not going to Sodere are we?” or something of that sort. I never knew what was on her mind. She was very intricate.

Ludwig Van Beethoven
.... of his sonata development with the \"Grande Sonate,\" op. 22, Beethoven moved on to the fantasy sonata to allow himself freer expression. By 1802, he had evidently succeeded in mastering the high-Classic style within each of its major instrumental genres-the piano trio, string trio, string quartet and quintet, Classic piano concerto, duo sonata, piano sonata, and symphony. Having reached the end of the great Vienese tradition, he was then faced with either the unchallenging repetition of the tired sty .....
