Extractions: The prolific and long-lived composer Alexander Tcherepnin (1899-1977) is pictured here shortly before he composed his 2nd piano concerto (I chose it for illustration in preference to the grinning publicity photos of pianist and conductor, which reminded me of one's childhood agony when exhorted to 'smile for the picture'!). Prokofiev was a pupil of Tcherepnin's father, and there are clear affinities. The concerto, 'based essentially upon a leap of a fourth', is sparky and optimistic music, typical of (for me) a favourite decade of the last century. A motoric development subsides to introduce a wide ranging set of variations 'bursting with original technical, contrapuntal and rhythmic finesse'. It is deftly orchestrated and played with verve and charm by

Y Capel, a restored 19th century Baptist chapel in Castle Street, Llangollen is unique as it's the first building of its kind to offer a library, art and craft gallery, tourist information centre and one stop shop all under the same roof. Moving to the new premises has allowed the Library and Information Service to expand its range of resources; in addition to the traditional books and information, it has doubled the number of computers for public use. The new building also has a meeting room available for public use, with full access for the disabled. A glass sculpture by Chris Byrd-Jones has been specially commissioned to mark the official opening of the centre which was carried out by Sir Kyffin Williams on Saturday, June 21.

Extractions: F A Q Computer Audio Circuits to build Room Acoustics ... Clinic/Cases Listening ability and SSO concerts Dear Readers, Very often, when Joe and I tried our best to improve a system for an audiophile, then at the end of the day, the answer could be, âare there any differences?â. The answer could be discouraging, and also does not speak too well of the audiophileâs ability. This is not uncommon. Joe sometimes could not help but asked, âwhy are so many people behave as if they are deaf ?â We are not putting these audiophiles down. Listening is indeed a skill, something that needs sharpening over time. Joe is a very good pianist. I am a qualified violin teacher. Our ears were well trained. I did not know that it was the beginning of hell for me. Learning the violin ruined my childhood. Learning the violin was very difficult. Stiff shoulders, stiff neck, painful fingers, swollen chin, and a fear that the violin teacher will shout again if I did not play the tunes properly. I was not very gifted in playing the violin. Many times I tried to escape the violin lessons, and was badly punished. Most of the time my parents canned me was because of the music lessons. As time went by, I realized I finished my grade 5 violin playing exam at one stage. I then become more interested in studying music, and nearly wanted to be a full time music worker. I started going to SSO concerts very often. When I was 14, I joined the SYO, which was the Singapore Youth Orchestra. I was playing the second violin, and later was playing the first violin. It was a very time consuming devotion. Not only I had to practise for my own lessons, I had to join the weekly practise help in Victoria Concert hall. On top of these, I had to keep up with the studies in school.
