Summary

A chat about music between the serious (little) and the facetious (much more) in search of the perfect form in the expression of feeling "In this book I talk about my vision of music and musical aesthetic, starting with the explanation of my main compositions, and going through the story of my personal experience, my education and how I grew up in music and beyond. A book in which I tell my experience of music and life from my first notes to nowadays artistic "maturity" , pausing on the main aspects of musical theory and hazarding a brief digression in the complex and varied world of harmony and counterpoint. Inspired by mathematical theories of musical harmonic I look back very briefly through the evolution of musical thought from time of J.S. Bach until some small foray into modern music. I'll be waiting for taking you with me in this short (and at the same time long) trip! Iacopo Del Panta

    'NBC University Theater’ initially started in Chicago with a remit to bring adaptations of classic novels, usually Anglo-American, to a radio audience.   
 
Additionally, if listeners signed up they received college credit to a radio-assisted correspondence course.  A study guide, The Handbook of the World's Great Novels, was available for 25 cents.   
 
In its later years it also included short stories and plays and went on to win the distinguished Peabody award. 
 
Unlike many other radio shows University Theatre did not pursue the glamourous stars for its productions but instead relied on excellent distillations of the novels and first class acting alongside high production values. 
 
But now its time to enjoy these timeless novels. Let’s begin.

A leading pioneer of high-tech architecture, Norman Foster has worked across the globe, collaborating with luminaries such as R. Buckminster Fuller to Steve Jobs. Born in Manchester, England, Foster grew up in poverty, the son of a machine painter. He served in the Royal Air Force and worked in a local architect’s office before returning to school for architecture.  
 
Foster went on to design the Reichstag, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banks headquarters in London and China, the new Wembley stadium and the British Museum's new court. He is also responsible for the design of Beijing's new airport, the Rossiya tower in Moscow, one of the towers at Ground Zero in Manhattan, as well as numerous other buildings around the world. In this insightful biography, Deyan Sudjic charts Foster’s remarkable life and career.
