Valse des fleurs () is a short composition for two pianos by Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was completed in 1914.

Composition 

Stravinsky's music post-Rite of Spring in the 1910s was devoted to . This example of  was specifically conceived for educational purposes, as he was trying to produce music either for four hands or two pianos intended for himself and his son, Soulima. For this reason, the "Valse des fleurs" is generally associated with other compositions for four hands from his Swiss period, such as the Three Easy Pieces (1915) and the Five Easy Pieces (1917). The brief (less than 1 minute) "Valse pour les enfants" of 1917, though not for four hands, is also in this vein of instructionally intended pieces.

This composition was finished in Clarens, Switzerland, on August 30, 1914. Kept in the composer's personal collection, it remained unperformed and unpublished for decades after its completion. However, fellow musician Robert Craft brought it to light when Soulima and Beveridge Webster played it as part of a Stravinsky concert that he organized in New York City's Town Hall on February 26, 1949. As with most of his American works and works earlier than his American period published in the US with the express intention of making money, it was published by Boosey & Hawkes in facsimile in 1983.

Structure 

The "Valse des fleurs" is in one movement and has a duration of just under one minute. It is scored for two pianos and is in C major. Both melodically and structurally, it is a very simplistic piece, meant to serve as a piece for practicing piano with his five-year-old son Soulima. It spans a total of three pages, originally written in ink on -by--inch paper.

Sorenson withdrew from contention on December 9, 2013, with Ward also withdrawing two days later. A debate was held on December 11 and Reyes, Smith and Tarbet were chosen as the finalists by the Central Committee on December 14. Herbert chose Reyes on December 23, who was sworn in on December 30, 2013.

Jean Bernanos (b. 1648 - d. 1695) was a French buccaneer, privateer, and pirate active in the Caribbean and across Spanish Central America.

History

Born in France, Bernanos moved to Saint-Domingue where he cruised against the Spanish in 1677 without success. He may have joined other buccaneers such as William Wright in various adventures over the next two years. In a 6-gun, 86-ton, 100-man vessel he sailed against Chepo in Panama in late 1679 but was repulsed by Spanish defenses despite help from native tribes. At the San Blas Islands he joined an English expedition led by John Coxon alongside Robert Allison, Thomas Magott, Cornelius Essex, and others who collaborated to sack Spanish Puerto Bello. The buccaneers looked for a new target and Bernanos suggested allying with the natives near Darién based on their willingness to help against the Spanish. He sailed with the flotilla to Costa Rica but when they elected to march overland to take Panama instead, he and fellow French rover Jean Rose (“Captain Row”) broke off from the English pirates:

Upon these and other reasons which they gave us, we concluded to desist from the journey of Tocamora and to proceed to Panama. Having taken these resolutions, Captain Bournano's and Captain Row's vessels separated from us, as being all French and not willing to go to Panama, they declared themselves generally against a long march by land.

Bernanos operated out of Petit-Goâve in the 1680s. Commanding a 60-man, 6-gun vessel in 1684, he sailed to Venezuela's Orinoco River alongside Rose, Francois Grogniet, and others to capture Santo Tomé. The privateers took little booty but remained there for a few months before Bernanos returned to his wife and home at Port-de-Paix. The Governor employed him as a privateer during the Nine Years' War, during which he captured several ships and participated in multiple expeditions against France's enemies. He was killed in 1695 while defending settlements in Saint-Domingue against a raid by English and Spanish troops, after which Governor Jean-Baptiste du Casse took in Bernanos’ children.

"Conception" is a 1950 jazz standard written by George Shearing in the bebop style. The composition is in the key of Db and is noticeable for its chromatic descending chord sequences. The original score was adapted by Miles Davis in 1950, who created an arrangement that kept Shearing's chord changes and main theme, but replaced the composition's bridge and ending with new melodic material. This arrangement is documented on a February 1950 broadcast recording in New York City featuring Stan Getz, J.J. Johnson, and Art Blakey. Davis recorded this same arrangement in October 1951 for his first LP, The New Sounds (Prestige Records, 1951). Davis also did a complete rewrite of 'Conception' in 1950 (creating an entire new main theme) for his Birth of the Cool nonet, giving the composition the title 'Deception'. 'Deception', recorded in March 1950, retained the rewritten bridge melody from Davis' 1950 'Conception' arrangement, as well as Shearing's original chord progression. Davis's 1954 Blue Note recording "Take Off" also uses the "Conception" chord progression, including Davis' own additions to the form (the pedal point introduction, which reappears as an added six measures to the end of the form), but "Take Off" does not include any of Shearing's original melody, and is credited to Davis.

Shearing's original composition was later recorded Bud Powell and Kurt Rosenwinkel. Miles Davis' 'Conception' arrangement was frequently played and recorded by Chet Baker.

Authorship
Bud Powell biographer Peter Pullman has written that bassist Al McKibbon, clarinetist Buddy DeFranco, composer and saxophonist Gil Melle, and pianist Claude Williamson, all of whom were professional modern jazz musicians in New York City in the early 1950s, have stated in interviews that pianist Bud Powell composed some or all of 'Conception', and that Shearing heard and adapted Powell's work. John Coltrane biographer and jazz pianist Lewis Porter disagrees, and has argued that 'Conception' is likely the work of Shearing. Porter notes that Shearing's later commercial success and turn from bebop to "middle of the road" instrumental music could have influenced the memories and opinions of the musicians that Pullman cites for evidence. Porter also notes that Shearing moved to New York City in 1947 and immediately immersed himself in the bebop community, writing a handful of bebop pieces prior to 'Conception' that are stylistically similar. These pieces include "Delayed Action", "Bop's Your Uncle", and "Trixie", and their authorship has not been challenged.

While Miles Davis immediately adopted 'Conception' into his repertoire upon its initial publication, no record exists of Powell playing the composition, or any of its motifs, until 1953. Unlike Davis, Powell played the original published bridge melody of the composition on his live 1953 live recording and his 1955 studio recording for Norgran Records, though this neither proves nor disproves Shearing's authorship.

Piz Sardona (or Surenstock) is a mountain in the Glarus Alps, on the border between the cantons Glarus and St. Gallen. The 3,056 metre high mountain overlooks the valleys of Elm (Glarus) and Calfeisen (St. Gallen). Less than one kilometre south of the summit lies the tripoint (3,000 metres) between the cantons of Glarus, St. Gallen and Graubünden. The summit itself is the northernmost point above 3,000 metres in Switzerland.

The massif is covered by a few small glaciers, the Sardonagletscher lying near the summit on the east side.

Piz Sardona is in the Glarus thrust area, a geologic UNESCO world heritage site, named "Swiss Tectonic Arena Sardona".

The Foo Pass lies to the north of the Piz Sardona and has a hiking trail from Weisstannen in St. Gallen to Elm in Glarus, forming part of the Alpine Pass Route between Sargans to Montreux.
