... lt to learn, and their musical form and
content puzzled contemporary musicians. It is a
measure of Chopin's stature that publishers not
only printed these pieces but also paid
substantial sums for them, even though they were
unlikely to reap an immediate profit. Chopin's
music sold so well that publishers were obliged to

arises in all literature from Genesis, Chaucer and
into modern day. Authors, clerks and writers of
all types have aided stereotyping women throughout
history and Geoffrey Chaucer is not an exception
in most cases. How...

At the beginning of the twentieth century,
American theatre was heavily dominated by
commercialism. In 1909, an attempt to establish a
European-style art theatre in New York City was
made (Geisinger, 241). The building was so
cavernous and unsuited for experimental work that
the project failed after two seasons. Dedicated to
producing the best of European and classical drama
and to fostering new American plays, the first
production groups of the 1900 s were amateurs
(Geisinger, 241). The members...
