The genesis of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony Number 3 in E-Flat Major, the “Eroica”, has long been brought into connection with the composer’s early admiration for Napoleon. Indeed, Beethoven had initially intended to entitle the work “Bonaparte”, but he withdrew the dedication when the Corsican, as First Consul of a military-backed republic, crowned himself emperor on 2 December 1804.

Ravyn Lenae announces her sophomore album Bird's Eye. The album - executive produced by GRAMMY-winning producer, Dahi (Drake, SZA, Kendrick Lamar) - is heralded by two new songs, "Love Me Not" and “Love Is Blind.” “Love is Blind” reminisces about a past relationship with regret but also hope for personal growth. While “Love Me Not” portrays a tumultuous relationship of desiring someone and rejecting the notion of dependence.“‘Bird’s Eye’ signifies returning to a place of self-trust and unbending intuition while acknowledging the paths and turns I’ve taken to get here,” Lenae says of the album. “Revisiting the most basic parts of my identity has allowed me to fully embrace them and be proud of where I’m going.”Bird’s Eye is the follow-up to Ravyn Lenae’s critically acclaimed debut album HYPNOS, which was celebrated by Pitchfork and NPR as one of the best albums of 2022.

Manuel Rosenthal's life overlapped pretty near perfectly with the arrival and passing of the twentieth century. He was born in 1904, the illegitimate son of a Russian immigrant woman and a wealthy Frenchman whose name he never knew, and grew up in dire poverty in Paris. He loved music sufficiently to teach himself the violin, and when his stepfather passed away in 1918, the 14 year old proved good enough on the instrument to support his mother and sister, playing in cafés and accompanying silent films. He enrolled in the Paris Conservatory at 16 to formalize his musical knowledge, but he was so far along that he was already manifesting talent as a composer. A sonatina that he submitted in 1921 not only passed muster with a committee that included Stravinsky, Bartók, Ravel, and Prokofiev, but received a public performance two months later. In addition to the violin, he also took up the sursoprano, a stringed instrument 1/4 higher than the violin, for which he wrote music.
