George Washington

Due to the obscure slang and cryptic reference "pop goes the weasel" in the rhyme there is considerable dispute over its meaning. The original theme of the rhyme seems to have been a darkly humorous portrait of the cycle of poverty of workers in the East End of London. The "weasel" may refer to a spinner's weasel, a mechanical yarn measuring device consisting of a spoked wheel with an internal ratcheting mechanism that clicks every two revolutions and makes a "pop" sound after the desired length of yarn is measured. "Pop goes the weasel", in this meaning, describes the repetitive sound of a machine governing the tedious work of textile workers toiling for subsistence wages. In the context of the rhyme then the first three lines of each verse describe various ways of spending one's meager wages, with "pop goes the weasel" indicating a return to unpleasant labor. Alternatively (and, which is perhaps more likely for a poem from the East End of London), if "pop goes the weasel" is taken as Cockney rhyming slang, the "weasel" that goes "pop" is an item of value that the worker pawns, probably after spending the week's wages (always given on a Saturday). The "serious" Cockney uses "pop" to mean pawning or the redeeming of a pawned item, while the word "weasel" means "coat" (derived from "weasel and stoat"). Another possibility is that "weasel" is a corruption of "whistle" and means "suit" (in this case being derived from "whistle and flute"). In either interpretation, the rhyme describes the pawning of the worker's only valuable items - the "Sunday best" clothing - after exhausting the week's wages on the food items such as rice and treacle, which, though cheap, were and are fundamentally useless to anyone if the buyer is poor and has nothing to eat it with. It is thought, however, that early "quack" doctors would have prescribed treacle as a sort of medicine, and gullible purchasing workers that were prone to illness due to exposure would doubtless have spent their savings on trying to maintain their and their children's health. "The Eagle" in the poem is a Public house on the City Road in London. It stands on the site of the former Royal Eagle Tavern Music hall and pleasure grounds. Needless to say, it too is a means by which money is lost. "Monkey" is believed to be a nineteenth century term for a public house drinking vessel. A "stick" is a shot of alcohol, while "knock it off" is to drink it. Therefore, this is a description of drinking in the pub. The later reference in the song to the monkey chasing people around the workplace might well describe longing for a drink while working, or perhaps while penniless right before payday. Alternatively, it could be simply to miss the point of the presence of other "animals" such as weasels and eagles within the rhyme, and that whoever added the "monkey" was simply trying to make it more nonsensical. Nevertheless, within the little-sung verse that goes: Every time when I come home The monkey's on the table, Cracking nuts and eating spice Pop goes the weasel if taken literally, it too is a means by which one would doubtless lose money. However, if the monkey does indeed represent the alcohol, or the container for it, then its "eating" nuts and spice could be seen as its dominating the narrator's life and therefore taking the place of staple food. In either case, it demonstrates a somewhat expensive lifestyle, if the narrator is indeed to be recognised as poor working class.

Use alto clef. It has middle C on the central line and is used for violas on the orchestral score.

Viola Desmond was famous because in the 1940s in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia she was having problems with her car and so she got it checked and they said it would have to wait until the next day and so she saw a movie theaters called Roseland Theatre she bought a ticket to see a movie but they would not sell a main floor ticket to African canadians it was reserved for only white people but she sat on the man floor anyway theatre staff came and demanded her to go to the balcony but she refused because she could see better on the main floor she was immediatly dragged away by polce and put into jail overnight(12 hours).

This depends on the type of plant you are growing. The obvious answer is enough but that may not help. Err on the dry side if in doubt.

What you need to do is go to a store that sells violins. The person selling you the instrument will ask you to hold out your arm and put a violin under your chin like how you would usually hold it while playing. You then wrap your hand around the scroll (the swirled wooden end of the violin with the tuning pegs) and if it fits right in your palm, the violin is the right size.

The Viola is very intricate to play. However, there are notes available for you to see on the net. Most of them are free for your taking. Youtube also shows you some tutorials.

Invented was it since changed it has and like look viola the did what.The Viola's ancestry can be traced back to the Viola D'Amore of the Baroque period, (the mid range instrument of the Viol family) which was bigger and more lute-like with a deeper base and 6 to 7 played strings each with a sympathetic string. The modern viola has not changed much since it's invention, but some variations of the basic size and shape do exist, with makers attempting to balance the instruments compact size with it's low strings by increasing the depth and the width of the base. (Accoustically, because the viola is one octave higher in tuning pitch than a Cello, it should be one half the size of a cello, but is typically not much larger than a third of the cello's size.) Today the modern viola looks and is played much like the violin, but tends to be slightly bigger in size and one perfect fifth lower in tuning pitch, giving the Viola a deeper, richer and more mellow sound.

$150.00-$200.00

Is your violin available for sale? I saw this posting from a while ago. Although I'm not the one who answered as to the value earlier, I would like to inquire as to whether or not it is still available. I collect old violins.

It should be the same as any other instrument. The C major scale contains all the whole tones, no accidentals: C D E F G A B

Sound is a physical entity, unlike noise which is the perception of sound. Sound is an high pressure wave front through a medium (such as air, or a liquid such as water, or a solid), wherein the wave front is followed by a reciprocal pressure differential behind it. Sound is produced when something disturbs the medium and sets in motion the molecules in the medium. Frequently, (no pun intended) the wave front/reciprocal entity occurs as an oscillating wave, wherein there are a series of wave fronts (peaks in pressure), followed by wave valleys (lower pressure). The relative height of the peak translates to how much energy is in the wave (how great is the pressure), and the closeness of peak to peak (spatially and temporally) indicates the pitch. Noise, is not a physical entity, but is the mental perception of the physiological response to sound. A wave front is converted from mechanical energy in our ear into an electrical impulse in the brain that analyzes the wave information. The interpretation of the wave front is subjective and the brain may interpret the wave signature as speech, music, clapping, gunshot, hum, etc.

i would like to know the same thing

Lady Viola goes to America with her new husband. Shakespeare writes the play Twelfth Night about her.

Although the plot of Shakespeare in Love is about Shakespeare writing Romeo and Juliet, and it mirrors Romeo and Juliet in many ways, it is a very different story from Romeo and Juliet. There is no "Lady Viola" in Romeo and Juliet; she is a fictional creation of the writers of the screenplay.

From lowest to highest it's C, G, D, A.

F-holes on a violin basically let the sound out. The sound from the vibrating string resonates within the body of the violin, amplifying it and giving the sound the unique sound of the violin. The sound waves bounce around inside the hollow body of the violin until some of it leaves the body through the f-holes. F-holes are used instead of round holes to give the violin that crisp, clean sound that they have.

DD- E- D- G- F sharp(half note: hold for two beats)- DD- E- D- A (four fingers on D string)- G(half note: hold for two)- DD- high D (on A string)- B- G- F sharp- E(half note: hold for two beats)- CC- slur B to G- A (4 fingers on D)- G.

*Just for fun: After the song do D-E-D-F sharp ( "And many more!")

* This coming from my viola book so if any of you have easier versions please feel free to correct my answer.

The viola is a member of the string family, sitting side-by-side with the violins, the cellos, and the string bass sections of the orchestra. Together they can play in infinite combinations depending on what the music requires.
In many orchestral pieces, the most important feature of the viola is that it is the "inner voice." It provides harmony and support for the violins, which are often in charge of the melody.
But this is not always the case. In several pieces, the violas have moments of great melodic importance, and can sometimes even steal the show. Composers such as Johannes Brahms even wrote works where the violas replaced the violins, for example in the orchestral "Serenade Number 2 in A, Op.16."
The violas work closely with the cellos and basses providing rhythmic support to the orchestra as well. The more pieces you listen to, the more aware you will become that every instrument can play many different roles in an orchestral work.

The body of the viola is made out of wood, the strings are made up of either nylon,gilt or steel which are strung by ahorse hair bow. The decorated edges are made of a substance called 'Purfling' and the chin rest is mainly plastic or even leather. I have mainly seen the chin rests made of plastic but sometimes they rae leather

they are both Bb instruments, but they range of notes isnt.

Sorry, but that (original) answer above is half-false. The oboe most definitely is NOT a Bb (transposing) instrument. The Oboe is a CONCERT-PITCH instrument. The Clarinet may be pitched in a variety of keys; Bb today is the most prevalent, but the A Clarinet is (or should be) in the collection of every professional orchestral clarinetist. The Oboe's range extends down to the Bb (one whole step) below Middle C; the Bb Clarinet's lowest written note is the "E" below Middle C; because it is a Bb transposing instrument, that "E" actually sounds one whole step lower - "D".

The oboe's larger, deeper cousin - the English horn - is a transposing instrument: in F. Its written note will sound a perfect fifth lower than written.
