The strings were draped around flowers in tall silver bowls ( page 261 ).

Keywords in AA were distinguishable from other text by being underlined ; there was also an " uppercasedelimiters " mode where all uppercase letters ( outside strings ) were treated as underlined lowercase.

The violinist and composer Louis Spohr wrote: " In forte passages the poor deaf man pounded on the keys until the strings jangled and in piano he played so softly that whole groups of notes were omitted.

The " normal " ensemble — a body of strings supplemented by winds — and movements of particular rhythmic character were established by the late 1750s in Vienna.

They concluded that the photographs were fakes, and that strings could be seen supporting the fairies.

These measurements were able to rule out cosmic strings as the leading theory of cosmic structure formation, and suggested cosmic inflation was the right theory.

Prior to the mid-20th century, double bass strings were usually made of gut, but since that time, steel strings have largely replaced gut strings, because steel strings hold their pitch better and yield more volume when played with the bow.

As well, the low " E " strings used during the 19th century were thick cords made of gut, which were difficult to tune and play.

With the string section laid off, synthesisers took a dominating role, as was the trend in the larger music scene of the time, although studio strings were present on some of the tracks conducted by Rainer Pietsch, the overall soundscape had a more electronic feel in keeping with the futuristic nature of the album.

Kites were decorated with mythological motifs and legendary figures ; some were fitted with strings and whistles to make musical sounds while flying.

F-hole archtop guitars were immediately adopted upon their release by both jazz and country musicians and have remained particularly popular in jazz music, usually with flatwound strings.

Shields, sandals and drums were made using the skin, and the strings of musical instruments were from the tendons.

If the strings were proportionately distanced, the strings would be farther apart.

By the baroque period, in Italy and Spain, more strings were added to allow for chromatic notes ; these were usually in a second line of strings.

This game is played on a network of coins ( vertices ) joined by strings ( edges ).

Like many other string instruments, the double bass is played either with a bow ( arco ) or by plucking the strings ( pizzicato ).

The change from gut to steel has also affected the instrument's playing technique over the last hundred years, because playing with steel strings allows the strings to be set up closer to the fingerboard, and, additionally, steel strings can be played in higher positions on the lower strings and still produce clear tone.

Because of improvements to the double bass with steel strings and better set-ups, the bass is now played at a more advanced level than ever before and more and more composers have written works for the double bass.

The album lacked actual strings, replaced once again by synthesisers, played by Tandy.

Classical guitars also known as Spanish guitars are typically strung with nylon strings, plucked with the fingers, played in a seated position and are used to play a diversity of musical styles including classical music.

It is fretless with heavy gauge nylon strings, and is usually played by doubling notes at the octave, which is facilitated by the unusual tuning of

A small minority of players ( such as Nick Reynolds of the Kingston Trio ) close tuned the instrument to D G B E to produce a deep instrument that could be played with the four-note chord shapes found on the top four strings of the guitar or ukulele.

The battente, called " chitarra battente " in Italian, is generally smaller than a classical guitar and usually played with four or five single or double course metal strings of equal gauge.

When all strings are played open the resulting chord is an Em7 / add11.

Traditional koras feature 21 strings, eleven played by the left hand and ten by the right.

It has 24 strings but is tuned and played differently than the kora.

A September 18 recording session finished the album, adding the horns and strings, as well as some additional piano from Randi, who played all the keyboard parts on the album as the band now had no keyboard player.

At the end of the lute's evolution the archlute, theorbo and torban had long extensions attached to the main tuning head in order to provide a greater resonating length for the bass strings, and since human fingers are not long enough to stop strings across a neck wide enough to hold 14 courses, the bass strings were placed outside the fretboard, and were played " open ", i. e. without fretting / stopping them with the left hand.

From this, the mandolino ( a small cat gut-strung mandola with six strings tuned g b e ' a'd g sometimes called the Baroque mandolin or cat-banjo and played with a quill, wooden plectrum or finger-style ) was developed in several places in Italy.

Using the strings that manipulate the puppet, suspend him from the light fixture by tying the strings to the lamp base.

Rameau's Six Concerts En Sextuor, recorded by L'orchestre De Chambre Pierre Menet ( BAM LD 046 ), turn out to be harpsichord pieces arranged for strings apparently by the composer himself.

* The concatenation of the three strings,, can be computed by concatenating the first two strings ( giving ) and appending the third string (), or by joining the second and third string ( giving ) and concatenating the first string () with the result.

This algorithm, for all strings, allows codes as short as allowed by any other algorithm up to an additive constant that depends on the algorithms, but not on the strings themselves.

Clearly there is always at least one such string for any n, as otherwise all possible strings ( infinitely many ) could be generated by the ( finitely many ) programs with lower complexity, so GenerateComplexString must always return.

A chamber ensemble made up entirely of strings of the violin family is referred to by its size.

All this has been gorgeously orchestrated by Jonathan Tunick ; there is no rhythm section, only strings and woodwinds to carry the melodies and harmonies aloft.

From time to time, women would decorate the nose pins by hanging pieces of amber and coral from strings that would dangle down to their chins.

The four-string bass — by far the most common — is usually tuned the same as the double bass, which corresponds to pitches one octave lower than the four lower strings of a guitar ( E, A, D, and G ).

Sometimes the balalaika is tuned " guitar style " by folk musicians to G-B-D ( mimicking the three highest strings of the Russian guitar ), whereby it is easier to play for Russian guitar players, although classically trained balalaika purists avoid this tuning.

In information theory and computer science, a code is usually considered as an algorithm which uniquely represents symbols from some source alphabet, by encoded strings, which may be in some other target alphabet.

An extension of the code for representing sequences of symbols over the source alphabet is obtained by concatenating the encoded strings.

The majority of the sound is caused by vibration of the guitar top as the energy of the vibrating strings is transferred to it.

Martin being among the most influential designers of their times ); to not only strengthen the top against collapsing under the tremendous stress exerted by the tensioned strings, but also to affect the resonation of the top.

The main purpose of the bridge on a classical guitar is to transfer the vibration from the strings to the soundboard, which vibrates the air inside of the guitar, thereby amplifying the sound produced by the strings.
