Max Weber
Maximilian Carl Emil "Max" Weber (; 21 April 1864 – 14 June 1920) was a German sociologist and political economist, who profoundly influenced social theory, social research, and the discipline of sociology itself. Weber's major works dealt with the rationalization and "disenchantment" he associated with the rise of capitalism and modernity. Weber was, along with his associate Georg Simmel, a central figure in the establishment of methodological antipositivism; presenting sociology as a non-empirical field which must study social action through resolutely subjective means. He is typically cited, with Émile Durkheim and Karl Marx, as one of the three principal architects of modern social science, and has variously been described as the most important classic thinker in the social sciences.

Nelly Bly Written by: Stephen Collins Foster (July 4, 1826 -- January 13, 1864), known as the "father of American music" Performer: Robert Shaw Chorale Nelly Bly! Nelly Bly! Bring the broom along, We'll sweep the kitchen clean, my dear, And have a little song. Poke the wood, my lady love And make the fire burn, And while I take the banjo down, Just give the mush a turn. cho: Hi, Nelly! Ho Nelly ! Listen, love, to me, I'll sing for you and play for you A dulcet melody. Nelly Bly has a voice like a turtle dove, I hear it in the meadow and I hear it in the grove. Nelly Bly has a heart warnn as a cup of tea, And bigger than the sweet potatoes down in Tennessee. Nelly Bly shuts her eye when she goes to sleep. When she wakens up again her eyeballs start to peep. The way she walks, she lifts her foot, And then she bumps it down; And when it lights, there's music there In that part of the town. Nelly Bly! Nelly Bly! Never, never sigh; Never bring the tear drop to the corner of your eye. For the pie is nnade of pumpkins And the mush is nnade of corn, And there's corn and pumpkins plenty, love, A-lyin' in the barn. .

Beautiful Dreamer" (1864) by Stephen Foster "GENTLEMEN BE SEATED!" Mr.Interlocutor: "Mr. Bones, would you play Beautiful Dreamer Fo' us?" Composed late in his life and published posthumously, Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer" (1864) is one of the composer's most memorable ballads. It was written at least six months before Foster's death, when he was destitute and in poor heath, and survived by selling songs (at extremely cheap rates) that were written in haste. While prolific in number, these last songs, for the most part, were less inspired than his earlier efforts such as "Oh! Susanna," which had launched his career as a songwriter. Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me,Beautiful dreamer, wake unto me, Starlight and dewdrops are waiting for thee; Sounds of the rude world, heard in the day, Lull'd by the moonlight have all pass'd away! Beautiful dreamer, queen of my song, List while I woo thee with soft melody; Gone are the cares of life's busy throng, Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me! Beautiful dreamer, awake unto me!

Oktobar 1864 was formed in 1984 in Zemun by Goran Tomanović and have changed several line-ups before they won "best demo band" award at the MESAM festival in 1986. Goran recruited the first band members over the newspaper ads. The band had its first big performance in 1985 when they played in in Belgrade, and that is when Tanja Jovićević, band's lead singer, joined the group[1]. After this, the band started the work on their debut, self titled, album. The album was recorded in November and December 1986 in "O" studio in Belgrade and produced by Saša Habić for the Jugodisk label. The line-up for this album was: Tanja Jovićević (vocals), Goran Tomanović (guitar), Željko Mitrović (bass), Ivan Zečević (drums), Dean Krmpotić (keyboards), Marko Lalić (saxophone), Branko Baćović (trumpet) and Nebojša Mrvaljević (trombone). Guests on the album were Jovan Maljoković (saxophone), Saša Habić and Bojan Zulfikarpašić (keyboards), Ljuba Ninković and Asim Sarvan (backing vocals). This album contained hits "Nađi me" (cover of the Four Tops' "Reach Out I'll Be There") and "Carte blanche". Other notable songs were "Muzika noći" and "Grad"......
Eugen d'Albert (1864-1932): Liszt - Sonata (1 of 2)
Eugen d'Albert was one of Liszt's most important later pupils, along with Sauer and Rosenthal. Sadly many of his recordings are both badly recorded and indifferently played (by the time he recorded he had devoted more time to composition and his technique at the piano had slipped). This recording is of a piano roll he made of the Liszt B minor piano sonata. It is a very rare piano roll, made for the Welte company in around 1905 (early enough for d'Albert to be in fine fettle as performer). It is a very important roll as acoustic records could not accomodate long works on them. The Welte system of rolls allowed the dynamics, attack, pedalling and some degree of touch to be recorded onto them, leaving a fairly accurate (if sometimes tonally opaque) reproduction of the original performance. The transfer of the roll I have managed to acquire is only of the first of the two rolls which make up the complete sonata, and was made in 1970. And more importantly the recording plays the roll at much too fast a speed on the piano. I have used some modern technology to reduce the speed of the playback without altering the pitch, until the speed seemed about right to my ears (we are around 70% of the speed of the recording here). This has meant some compromises in the way the pedalling sounds. Also a sense of onward momentum seems absent in some parts, which again is probably a result of the alteration of the acoustics by slowing it down. However, this is as good as I can get.
