A concertino, or small group of soloists (usually 2 violins, a harpsichord, and a cello), contrasts with the cocerto grosso, which is the whole string orchestra and its ripieno players.

Does a ct scan use a contrast medium?

Some CT exams are done w/contrast, some w/o contrast and some are done first w/o and then w/contrast. The body organs show up well w/o contrast. If the Dr. needs to see vasculature then IV contrast would be used. Contrast kind of "highlights" vessels. For instance, tumors need a great deal of blood to grow and if one is suspected a CT w/o may be done first and then a CT of the same area done W/ contrast to verify increased vasculature. The Kidneys and liver and heart all have allot of blood running thru them so these organs can yield more info when done w/ and then w/o contrast. There is also Oral contrast that a patient would drink to "highlight" the stomach and bowels for several different reasons/diagnoses.


Why did pop lyrics become set to classical themes For example Full Moon and Empty Arms Til the End of Time etc. Who was on strike?

You must know that the first song is set to a theme from the Second Piano Concerto by Rachmaninov. It was one of the most popular classical works around 1940, along with the First Piano Concerto by Tchaikovsky. No one was on strike. In those longago days, a lot of people actually knew and enjoyed a handful of familiar classical works. To steal one of those tunes and set words to it was a good way to create a popular hit. (Not stealing, since the music was in the public domain, out of copyright.) In fact, RCA Victor had a hand in promoting a kind of crossover (a word not used in those days). Freddy Martin and his Band had recorded a piece based on the Tchaikovsky concerto, which benefited the sales of the concerto recorded by Artur Rubinstein, the best-selling classical pianist of the day. On the basis of that success, RCA got Freddy Martin to do the same with the Piano Concerto by Grieg, another very popular work, and made a recording of that concerto with Rubinstein. One hand washing the other, as they say. "Till the End of Time" was a 1946 movie that used the song, based on Chopin's Polonaise No. 6 and written a year earlier, as its theme. Not only was the song a big hit, but recordings of the Chopin piece by Jose Iturbi and Vladimir Horowitz were best sellers that year. (That year there was a Chopin movie, "A Song to Remember," with Iturbi on the soundtrack, that tied in.) "Full Moon and Empty Arms" had come out a few years before that. A young songwriter named Leo Mossman wrote all of these, several hundred in all. He had a classical training at the Eastman School so he knew the music.


What kind of information would least likely be included on a geologic map?

A geologic map would least likely include detailed information on biological organisms, such as flora and fauna, or socio-economic data like population density and land use. Instead, it focuses on the types of rocks, their ages, structures, and geological features such as faults and folds. Additionally, it typically does not provide information on surface features like roads or buildings, which are not relevant to geological processes.
