Books Fair

Jerikó utca 17 Debrecen, Hungary

After the highly successful visit in May, the Alexandra Publishing Company is arriving with an almost completely new stock and different books at incredibly favourable prices. In the course of the publishing work, a lot of books pass through hands; some specimens inevitably suffer minor or major defects. However, the perfect exterior is not everything: the inner values are the most important, especially in the case of books. At the book fair, not only defective books but books in perfect shape can be bought at discount prices. More than 15000 different  books can be bought from 100 HUF. The book fair is open from 10:00 a.m. until the stock lasts,  but the latest until  5:00 p.m. Paying by card on the spot is possible. Source: Szépséghibás és akciós könyvásár Debrecenben!ꟾ Facebook

Pearls 1 – Concert of Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra

Pásti Street synagogue 4 Pásti Street, Debrecen, Hungary

The Kodály Philharmonic Orchestra's chamber orchestra concert is conducted by the ensemble's permanent conductor, Tibor Bényi  in the synagogue on Pásti Street on 28th October from 7 p.m. The best-known work of Franz Schubert's chamber music oeuvre is probably the piano quintet in A major called "The Trout". The reason for using the distinctive name was the fourth movement, which is none other than a series of variations composed on the theme of his previous song (Die Forelle). By the way, the composer also composed instrumental versions for four other songs. In his score for the Pisztárng quintet, made in 1819, Schubert does not use the usual formation of two violins, viola, accordion, and piano, but abandons the part of the second violin and enriches the bass by using the double bass. (Incidentally, one of Johann Nepomuk Hummel's works provided a sample for this solution.) The order of movements of the nearly forty-minute work also differs from the usual one, in that the titular series of variations is added to the classic (fast-slow-dance-movement-finale) pattern  almost as an extension. Incidentally, the idea for the arrangement of the song came from Sylvester Paumgartner, a wealthy amateur cellist who lived in the Upper […]
