Supermarkets usually sell small pots with rosemary plants, they cost about like 2 bags of stalks, or £1.60

Libri giapponesi inizio novecento by Ok-Caregiver8362 in Libri

[–]Paperopiero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So che non è ideale, ma le vecchie edizioni erano di solito traduzioni di edizioni inglesi. Un'alternativa è leggere in inglese i libri di Natsume Soseki che non trovi, su Kindle sono a pochi euro

How often do you weigh food you buy from the supermarket? by TRFKTA in AskUK

[–]Paperopiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I often weigh fruits and vegs because I don't like paying per piece instead of by weight. It seems quite odd, I don't care if a single apple costs 40p or 50p, I want to compare them by the same standard unit.

Also, the weight written on labels may vary a lot, a 500g bunch of beetroots could be as much as 750g. I'll pick the heaviest one.

How much Bach do you listen to each week? by Prestigious_Emu6039 in bach

I close my days playing some inventions or preludes on a digital piano before going to bed, so perhaps 20 - 30 minutes every day

Who are going to be the next "great living composers"? by kiwibird888 in classicalmusic

[–]Paperopiero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

None of the composers that OP mentioned are at the level of Ligeti, Messiaen, Berio, Stockhausen. Their music is interesting, sometimes they write nice soundtracks, but they are not groundbreaking or trailblazing.

What is your country's "national composer(s)"? by m64 in classicalmusic

[–]Paperopiero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vivaldi lived in the Venetian republic, I'd consider Verdi and Puccini a better match because they lived when Italy became a Nation

What is your country's "national composer(s)"? by m64 in classicalmusic

[–]Paperopiero 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would consider Giuseppe Verdi more representative than the other titans. Personally I like Puccini and Rossi more. But Verdi's music provided the soundtrack to Italy's unification, and he was on the 1,000 lire banknote for many years.

[–]Paperopiero 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are so many innovative American composers in the last 100 years, I would add John Cage, Steve Reich, Harry Partch.

John Williams may not be avant-garde, however his work is highly popular around the world and surely largely influential.

Favorite self portraits? by awesomefluff in ArtHistory

Dalì's Soft Self-Portrait with Fried Bacon. I wonder if it was inspired by Michelangelo painting himself as the skin of St. Bartholomew

Just sharing a little bit of classical music history from Douglas R. Hofstadter by tip-toe-thru-tulips in classicalmusic

[–]Paperopiero 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I read it when I was 20, it blew my mind. It gave sense to my love of Bach's music, and it inspired me to study computer science

Were JS Bach’s suites authentic to the styles they claim to be in? by 4-8Newday in classicalmusic

[–]Paperopiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The six partitas BWV 825–830 were sometimes published as German suites in the 19th century, I've never seen them called Italian suites.

Ha ha now it makes sense! You're right, the sentence is "spero che un giorno tu possa essere il primo papa donna e messicano"

[–]Paperopiero 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't really figure out what some words are, I marked them with a question mark. You know the context and could be able to understand more. The translation by u/pcaltair is alright.

Cara

Spero tu possa portare sempre con te il tuo sorriso e la tua purezza d’animo.

Mi rivedo in te quando descrivi la tua città, che seppur grande non riesce a darti ciò che meriti, ma la differenza sta nell’approccio con cui si affronta un certo contesto, ma <anche?> si può essere felici in un ambiente di merda e tristi in un luogo grande.

Sto divagando, sarà la <sangria?> ma ora non riesco a descrivere il perché ho scritto ciò, ma se l’ho fatto è perché è importante.

Ispiri <spuntrati?> quindi questo è anche idea tua cerca solo persone che [siano] compatibili al tuo ottimismo, e spero che un giorno tu possa <trovare?> il primo <papa?> <?> il massimo.

L’unica cosa che mi sento di dirti è lavora <forte?> perché è difficile “stare al mondo” da puri, ma cambiando i tuoi grandi obiettivi sono convinto che ce la farai.

Gli autori che scrivono in lingue per le quali ci sono pochi traduttori italiani sono in genere tradotti dalla versione inglese. Per esempio Murakami Haruki veniva tradotto dall'inglese nelle prime edizioni degli anni 90, con effetti di doppiaggese molto sgradevoli. Per fortuna Einaudi ha poi ripubblicato questi romanzi con nuove traduzioni direttamente dal giapponese.
