the costs can be ilCOriOiriIC but not necessarily so Mineral exploitation also has en~

o the Classical Period Their werts became increasingly more difficult, expressing some 01 the high

emotions 01 the rmeteenth century which, as you will r«aU!he backdrop of !hat century , the French

and the American revolutions they were defining moments So ChopIn, Usz\, and Wagner wrote very little chambet music •• because they preferred the emotional power 01 the fuM orchestra •• or uh,

the personal expression in a piano solo It was also at abouI!his time that Franz Schubert, Johannes

Brahms, Felix Mendelssohn, and Mlonin Dvorak made their conlributions, and !hey wrote melodic ,

passionate compositions for ct"Iembe~ playefS But now the music was mora difficult 10 play and the

palronage Byslem was dec6nlng anyway, so so most chamber music moved from the grasl homes

of the wealthy and into the concert halls, whiCh were frequented by a growing middle class And it was

a very creative period for chamber musiC, and professional chamber groups emerged during tIVs time

The composers probabfy fett a new freedom because they weren' so much pressed 10 please their

patrons and they could e_pIore their art

Well,

~::e::::;::~~:~~:~ Ravel because, unlike previous eotnp05ef$ , their compo·

siUons had recurring instead 01 a continuous melody And there are a number 01 olher composers who wrote chamber music in the Modem Period but but whether they'l be remembered

is, wen, a question 10 be answered by future historians Wha l we do know Is that the Modernists gave chamber music new COfJti"Iations 01 instruments and arrangements And as the musiC became more •• more • une_pected, olten with unusual tonality, well, it also became even more difficult 10 play and that meant thai !he scores for IT\()(jem chamber music had to be played by very skilled ensem·

of the work of Impressionist t Impressionist painters, and like them, the Abstract Expressiooists

were Interested in the aKpresSive qualities 01 painl, and particularly In the case of action painters or ges·

ture painters , • they were sometimes caI1ed gestura painters , • and they developed new methods for

applying the paint They dripped, Ihrew, sprayed, and, uh, splattered, paint on the canvas ,with a

view to expressing artislic actions or gestures • as part ot the creative process

Now , according 10 your lextbook, probably the beSI·known of the action painters was , who? Student 1: POIIocll,

Student 2: Jackson Pollock

Protessor

No doubt about It, Pollock was a highty indMctual artist He's lamous for huge mural·sized wor1<s And ,

to creale them, he'd spread hiS unstratchod canvas on the 1Ioor, and he'd approach the work from an lour

sides, waldng around ~ and attacking it with commercial house paint in cans thaI he carrled with him,

He dripped the paint from sticks or brushes; Ihat he dipped In lhe cans or or ha Ih.9W the paint

and splashed illn pallems Il\al, uh, tl\at rellected the molion of his arm and, uh, and his body,

as he enpaij8CI in his so-called action pain ling, think you can see how the name applias to this method

So Pollock claimed that this process allowed him to ba in the painting, nol apart from it

Let me show you a picture of Pollock with a work In progress

your textbook They're made of reinforced cooaete, and by that I mean COOCfete with steel rods

can be situated In the center of a building aroond an elevator shaft or a stairwell This Is really an e~cel ­

lent reinforcement II"S commonly known as a shearrx:xe , and it contains reinforced concrete, too

Okay eI' talk about walls ~ Imagine steel beams that cross diagonally from the ceiling to the floor and this happens on each

story In a building So before the walls are finished, you can see a vertical row 01 steel x's on the

struc-ture And this cross-bracing tends to make a building very rigid and consequenUy very strong

But besides steel reinforcements, engineers have also devised base iSf)/BtOf$, which are positioned

below the building, and their PUfP0S8 is to absorb the shod< of the sideways shaking that can undermine

a building and cause It to collapse ~ iI!imitiiQ!iYIi'I Of iiiCffiiilhel/C niIitiii'J The steel Is lor strength but uh •• the rubber absorbs

Ing seismIC acbvrty Or or large rubber cylinders support all 01 the comers of the building and In

between each Iloor, and they allow the building 10 sway during an earthquake So you can see that

these alternatives are quite diffOfent lrom cross-bracing or shear walls

So the combination 01 reinforced structures and fte~ible materials has been proven to reduce earth

Prolessor:

Okay as you1 receII caves form limestone when acicflC groundwater follows some kind of weakness in the rocXs Now the rock formations in 8 cavern that's the tactu'lical name thai we usa lor a cave the

rock Iormatioos there are of two kinds •.• stalactites and stalagmites Both of these formations are water that contains dissotved minerals thai that acaJmulate and build deposits But stalactites hang do¥m

from the oeifing of the cavern and stalagmites protrude up from the IIoor oj the cavern Wei, these WOfds

sound a 101 alike, and this can be conluslng, so I always lei my students to remembef that there is a I in stalactites, and the I has a tail that hangs down just tika the stalactiIes thaI hang down !rom the ceiling 01 the cave, but there Is an min staIagrrites and the points on an m stick up like the staJagmiles that proln.Ide
