Polyolefin-blend/inorganic nanocomposites: Morphology, rheological and thermomechanical properties
Abstract
"V" to Transformative Lightness of Beings was a commission from Central Conservatory of China in Beijing. One of the requests was to use Wagners leitmotiv and inspiration of Milan Kunderas novel, Unbearable Lightness of Being. As you can see, "V" stands for " Valkyrie" the opera of the ring cycle. The four of Wagners leitmotiv I used are storm, ride of Valkyrie, Sieglinde representing love and sword. The leitmotiv can be divided into two categories, one contains very clear triads (sword and Sieglinde); one presents very prominent interval (storm and ride of Valkyrie). Other than leitmotiv, there are two more important materials. I developed two themes from the leitmotiv, based on the pitch material and character. The male theme is derived from ride of Valkyrie; the female theme from Sieglinde. The piece starts with Storm; and the two characters, male and female come after it. The war goddess Valkyrie joins in right away. Male and female have conversation with a gentler storm later, and here comes love, however ends with storm. Sword, the symbol of justice comes in having conversation with war goddess Valkyrie. War goddess Valkyrie dominants all most the whole second section with male and female occasionally soliloquize, however, love sings high up in the air. Justice sword cant help but join in. Every one shouts out loud their materials (opinions, prejudice etc.) at the last section toward the end. It finishes with love. Love unifies the chaotic world.
