"One of the great violinists of early eighteenth century Italy, Francesco Veracini played so well that he intimidated even virtuoso Giuseppe Tartini. Notoriously arrogant, perhaps borderland insane, Veracini was nevertheless famed throughout Europe for his performances as well as his compositions. Although he was an instrumentalist, about half his output was vocal, and for a while he was Handel's great rival as an opera composer in London.
Veracini spent his youth in his native Florence, but established himself in Venice in 1711. There he played in various church orchestras, and in 1712 a performance of his so impressed Tartini that the latter withdrew for a while to study better use of the bow. During this time Pietro Locatelli, another great violinist-to-be, probaby studied with Veracini.
In 1714, Veracini performed in London; he spent the following year in Germany, and after further travels he obtained a court position in Dresden in 1717 at an impressive salary. In August 1722, though, he found himself hurtling to the ground from a third-floor window; whether this was a suicide attempt or a bungled murder remains unclear, for Veracini was not entirely lucid on the subject. He survived, but rumors of madness followed him on his subsequent journeys, including a period back in Italy working as a violinist and composing oratorios and sacred works.
Veracini returned to London in 1733, where he became a ubiquitous figure, performing everywhere and having his operas produced at the Opera of the Nobility, the chief rival of Handel's theater. Except for a brief period back in Italy, Veracini remained in London for years. Charles Burney wrote approvingly that "the peculiarities of his performance were his bow-hand, his [vibrato], his learned arpeggios, and a tone so loud and clear, that it could be distinctly heard through the most numerous band of a church or theatre."
Veracini returned to Italy for good by 1750, working primarily as a church musician in Florence, mainly composing and conducting, but also occasionally playing the violin into his seventies.
As a composer, Veracini came to write concertos strongly influenced by Vivaldi's; his sonatas in some ways resembled Corelli's, but often without the fugal elements (except those written for fugue-mad Dresden), and in some ways point the way to Tartini's. Later, though, the progressive turned conservative, and became more interested in canonic writing. Similarly, the arias of his London operas show the influence of Handel, a composer he would later denounce." ~ James Reel, Rovi
ANOTHER MUSLIM CHAT. HE HUNG UP ON ME AGAIN. He probably couldn't even possibly conceive I was going to copy and paste the chat to my Facebook page. This is the second time Muslims have hung up on me in a Muslim chat room. I have no faith WHATSOEVER that I'll be treated any better in a third chat room of this type:
AzizIn has joined the chat.
AzizIn (09:09:18) : Welcome to Edialogue.org. May peace be on you.
this is an international site for islam information
here we are telling non Muslim about islam
AzizIn (09:09:22) : hello
Lee (09:09:29) : Hello!
Lee (09:10:21) : First let me commend you for your courage to even have this chat. I would imagine you must put up with chat hell from MANY people who want to blame Islam for the fact that America refuses to mind it's own business
Lee (09:11:53) : This matter with Israel goes back to when Joshua, the son of Nun, took over for Moses and slaughtered all the people of the Land of Canaan and took their lands. IT IS NO ONE ELSE'S BUSINESS!!! However, America is determined to 'play God' and protect Israel and IT'S OBVIOUS God is NOT blessing America's efforts!
Lee (09:13:34) : I'm not saying that you Muslims are absolutely correct, but WOW!!! Talk about a strong faith causing a superior military power to essentially give up and leave Iraq. IT'S AMAZING just what a powerful faith can do!! Quite impressive to me, I'll tell you that much
Lee (09:14:23) : When it comes to having a faith that is so strong not even death can conquer it, you Islamic Muslims are the BEST!!! And now I would like to get to the main reason I came here today
Lee (09:15:27) : I am here because of my prayers and an answer I feel I have received from Allah/God. We have certain people, like Alex Jones, talking about the spread and implementation of the New World Order.
Lee (09:16:14) : Yet, all I see in the world are radical Islamic Muslims who are giving their lives to fight against ANY COUNTRY that refuses to stop the spread and implementation of the New World Order.
Lee (09:17:06) : That's what all this fighting is really all about. All countries who secretly work towards the implementation and spreading of the New World Order are the enemies of Islam, PERIOD!!!
Lee (09:18:36) : Personally, I feel love and compassion will work much better than guns and bombs. Seems to me it's "been there, done that". The wars will not end until every man, woman and child who feels killing is the answer is DEAD!!!
Lee (09:22:04) : That's the only hope that will end such Jihad wars with superior armed Western Nations. Both sides will have to KILL EVERYONE who feels the solution is found through military might. Then, those who feel love, compassion and tolerance is the answer will remain to build a much better world and all the gun toting haters will be dead AS THEY DESERVE TO BE!!!
Lee (09:23:33) : I can't help, but wonder how the world would react if both ISIS and BOKO HARAM would continually say that they are the main life of defense to stop the spread of the New World Order. If they said they will fight to the death against all countries who support the spread of the New World Order. Wow!!! That would be something, aliright!
AzizIn (09:23:55) : brother i appreciate your time to chat with us.let me tell you i am not expert in politics or media business.
Lee (09:25:21) : Yes well, I cannot express such views, comfortable, with non-Muslims. Average brainwashed yokels just don't care about any truth that goes against their preconceived prejudices.
Lee (09:26:35) : As I was saying, if ISIS and BOKO HARAM united in stating to the world that they are fighting to stop the spread of the New World Order and they will fight to the death, if they must, it would change everything!!!
AzizIn (09:26:41) : can i request you to just forget for few minutes this politics. and can i tell you the moral system in islam
Lee (09:28:26) : Hey, this matter of you nice guys taking the blame for what radical Muslims do is VERY IMPORTANT. It's not fair to you and I would imagine you must catch a lot of harassment from people because of it. However, I have no more to state about the politics of Islam. I've said my peace and will indeed let it go
Lee (09:28:53) : Let's talk about the wisdom of blindly believing information YOU YOURSELF have not personally verified as true and accurate?
AzizIn (09:29:09) : wait
AzizIn (09:29:15) : its not fair
AzizIn (09:29:18) : wait
AzizIn (09:29:30) : i listen to you for last 20 minutes
AzizIn (09:29:41) : kindly allow me to tell few words
Lee (09:30:03) : I used to be a Christian. Now I no longer worship anyone or anything. I see it as MADNESS to blindly believe books that are thousands of years old. To be willing to kill people who refuse to believe such books is PURE INSANITY!
Lee (09:30:55) : So, you don't want to talk about politics. Okay then, let's talk about blindly believing ANY INFORMATION you yourself have not personally verified as true and accurate.
AzizIn (09:30:52) : wait
AzizIn (09:30:54) : hello
AzizIn (09:31:16) : wait
AzizIn (09:31:54) : let us read the moral system in islam first
AzizIn (09:31:55) : ok

MY COMMENT:
ALL YOU PEOPLE reading this who blindly believe ANY INFORMATION you have not personally verified as true and accurate ARE A BUNCH OF STUPID, INSANE, MORONIC IDIOTS!!!
YOU ATHEISTS WHO BLINDLY BELIEVE MAINSTREAM SCIENCE INCLUDED!!
IT'S BECOMING MORE AND MORE TRULY MIRACULOUS...
JUST HOW MORONICALLY STUPID HUMANITY CAN BE
A RACE WORTHY OF EXTINCTION, AS A SPECIES, IF EVER I HAVE ENCOUNTERED ONE!!
I SUSPECT, YOU DUMBASS IDIOTS WHO THINK YOU CAN KEEP RAPING THE EARTH FOREVER AND GET AWAY WITH IT
I know from the empirical experiences of my entire life that the sun goes around the Earth. Science would have me deny my empirical experiences and blindly believe that the Earth goes around the sun. They would say that all I have to do is look through a telescope to verify this for myself. How do I know I am not seeing some sort of optical illusion? My senses have been tricked MANY TIMES!!
So, I'm supposed to be like the suckers who blindly believe whatever science may say. I'm supposed to have BLIND FAITH that science knows what it is talking about. I'm supposed to blindly deny my empirical experiences in favor of mainstream science. If science says the sun is not hot it is actually very cold I'm supposed to blindly believe this even though my empirical experiences are that the sun is hot?
I mean, that is what science is essentially saying. They are saying the sun is not hot, it is actually very cold and I just think the sun is hot. Seems ridiculous, right? Think about it. Most every day we can all personally verify that the sun goes around the Earth. To say this is not so is like saying the sun is not actually hot. That the sun only appears to be hot and the sun is actually freezing cold. You would call this nonsense because you all can personally experience the heat of the sun on your bodies and you know, empirically, that if you spend too much time in the sun you don't get frostbitten.
Yet, when science says the sun does not actually go around the Earth you blindly believe it even though EVERYONE can personally, empirically verify AS WITH THE LAW OF GRAVITY that the sun moves across the sky every day.
It's a curious thing!
The bottom line is this: I have empirically verified, all my life, that the sun goes around the Earth. I HAVE NOT EVER empirically verified that the Earth goes around the sun. For many years I have accepted this premise on BLIND FAITH in mainstream science. Now I am no longer certain mainstream science deserves any blind trust from me.
Until I personally verify the matter I will trust my empirical experiences even if they are opposed to mainstream science. I DO NOT allow mainstream science to do my thinking for me, PERIOD!!!
This video is amazing. They lump together the concept of the Earth going around the sun with the supposed FACT that humans evolved from earlier species of animals.
IT IS NOT A FACT THAT HUMANS EVOLVED FROM EARLIER SPECIES OF ANIMALS!!!!!
Atheists would have you blindly believe this even as they would have you blindly believe that the sun does not go around the Earth!!!
Oh, science is so shocked when people refuse to blindly believe whatever crap they want you to blindly believe!!! After all, wasn't it the inventions of science that verified Saddam Hussain had weapons of mass destruction? It was indeed the creations of science that verified this to the point of starting the longest war America has ever fought...and not won.
YOU FOOLS WHO BLINDLY TRUST SCIENCE AND DENY YOUR EMPIRICAL EXPERIENCES ARE HOPELESSLY BRAINWASHED IDIOTS!!! FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, THE SUN GOES AROUND THE EARTH. If you empirically experience the Earth going around the sun you either live out in space or belong in a friggin loony bin!!!!
AT STARTING POINT 3:11 of this video and I was SHOCKED to find that it wasn't enough for the evolution atheists to find the Piltdown Man was a hoax. One after another hoax after misinterpretation was presented to the world as the 'REAL DARWINIAN DEAL' and 'SCIENTIFIC FACT' only to eventually be proven A LIE AND DEAD WRONG!!
YOU IDIOT DARWINIAN ATHEISTS JUST NEVER LEARN!!!
STUPID FOOLS THAT YOU ARE!!!!
The thing that is amazing is how these hopelessly DISHONEST atheists would like to just sweep this whole matter under the proverbial carpet and make believe it either never happened or doesn't matter at all.
IT MATTERS, YOU ATHEIST BLIND FAITH IN SCIENCE IDIOTS!!!
Over and over you suckers fall for science's scams. Over and over YOU NEVER LEARN to be EXTREMELY SKEPTICAL OF ANYTHING MAINSTREAM SCIENCE PRESENTS YOU WITH!!!
You are such a bunch of stupid, gullible MORONS!! You'll probably make believe this post is blank and just go on blindly believing whatever mainstream science says is fact. Dumbass idiots!
YOU'VE BEEN 'CHECKMATED', ATHEISTS. There is no way you BLIND FAITH in science IDIOTS can slither your way out of this one!!! It was a SCIENTIFIC THEORY that each one of those hoaxes or misinterpretations were fact!!!! THEY WERE DEAD WRONG!!! A scientific THEORY, like the THEORY of evolution, can eventually be proven wrong. A FACT CANNOT EVENTUALLY BE PROVEN WRONG!!! That is the difference, atheists!
