Art Techniques

Photography is one of the most fulfilling, creative, lucrative, and challenging art forms. While cameras come in all shapes, sizes, costs, and capacities, digital cameras have the potential to make any novice photographer seem like an expert with a couple of adjustments. While photography is art, there are still scientific rules that apply to its expression. While the artistic side of photography can be achieved by the photographer's creativity, passion, and personal expression, the technical side has to be learned.

Auf keinen Fall möchte Mezzo mit Malte ins Museum gehen. Bilder angucken von irgendwelchen Malern, die schon lange nicht mehr leben, wozu das denn? Das wird bestimmt stinklangweilig... Doch dann erzählt ihm Malte die Geschichte von Lea und Finn, die unter einer Bank einen roten Knopf entdecken, mit dessen Hilfe sie plötzlich selbst in die Gemälde hineingezogen werden. Die gemalte Welt wird real, es beginnt ein Gruselabenteuer. Die Geschwister müssen unter anderem einem unheimlichen Gnom, einer hungrigen Hexe und einem pflichtbewussten Museumswärter entkommen.

"Da fährt Mozart im Schneckentempo mit der Kutsche nach Paris und sieht noch nicht einmal den Eiffelturm?!" Mezzo ist völlig entsetzt. "Naja, den gab's damals noch nicht. Aber er hat in Paris zum ersten Mal einen Regenschirm gesehen." Den werden Malte und Mezzo hoffentlich nicht brauchen, denn sie sind diesmal unterwegs in den Urlaub: nach Bella Italia. Dabei hören sie viel Mozart-Musik im Radio und erkunden das Leben von Wolfgang Amadeus.

Warum weiß niemand genau, an welchem Tag Ludwig van Beethoven geboren wurde? Während er seine eigene Geburtstagsparty plant, pfeift Mezzo zufällig eine Melodie des weltberühmten Komponisten und will immer mehr über ihn wissen. Wieso wirkte Beethoven oft so mürrisch? Weil er sein Gehör verlor? Oder weil sein Vater ihn schon mit 5 Jahren zu einem Wunderkind à la Mozart drillen wollte? Wie kann jemand so schöne Melodien komponieren und gleichzeitig so chaotisch leben, dass er bis zu 4 Wohnungen parallel zumüllt? Mezzo ist fasziniert von dem Musikgenie, das die Natur genauso liebte wie Makkaroni mit Käse.

Was kann diese berühmte Zauberflöte eigentlich zaubern und warum ist die Königin der Nacht so wütend? Mezzo fragt Malte heute lauter Löcher in den Bauch zur berühmtesten und letzten Oper von Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Despite the ups and downs of his personal life and professional career—even in the face of deafness—Beethoven remained remarkably consistent in his most basic convictions about his art. This inner consistency, writes the music historian Mark Evan Bonds, provides the key to understanding the composer's life and works. Discarding tired myths about the composer, Bonds proposes a new way of listening to Beethoven by hearing his music as an expression of his entire self, not just his scowling self.
