Titolo: letter to a professor

Dovrei scrivere una lettera a un professore di armonia dell'Illinois per 
vedere se mi fanno iscrivere a un loro corso, pur essendo studente di 
informatica.
*******
Dear Mr X,
I am an Italian student enrolled at the university of Bologna and I have 
been accepted as an incoming exchange student by the University of 
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign for the next academic year (2009-2010). My 
major in Bologna is Computer Science, but I have also been studying 
harmony, counterpoint and composition for five years now in a public 
music school in my home town (_________, Forli'). I wonder if there is 
any chance I could take a course in composition theory in either (or 
even both) of the two semesters I will be staying at U of Illinois. If 
necessary, I can provide you with my program of study so far and scores 
of some of my compositions.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
___________

Puo' andare? Devo essere pi� formale?
Grazie mille!
:-)
Ciao,
Enrico il Pentolaio.

La lettera va bene, pero' dovresti cambiare Dear Mr. con Dear
Doctor...or Dear Professor.  You can't call a  university professor
"mister".  If they have a PhD, which is the case 99.9% of the time,
they are "doctors".
Is there a specific reason why you have to ask permission to enrol in
this class?  Are you sure that is necessary?

 this class?  Are you sure that is necessary?
Yes, when I try to register for it online it says "subject to 
professor's approval" and, to be truthful, I was supposed to submit some 
audition material back in March.

He's probably worried that his work at the Conservatorio Musica Liscia may
not be recognized in some quarters.  ;>)
Speak of the devil, I was watching TV the other day and I thought I heard
the name of the Maestro del Liscio mentioned in an ordinary conversation.
Listen here at about 40:35-40:45, when the guy with the mustache greets the
kid playing the harmonica.
Did I hear correctly, Pentolaio?

I can't seem to be able to open it. Which of these episodes was it?

Moonlight (la versione libera di silverlight) e il sito della rai non 
sempre vanno d'accordissimo. Mi fa vedere il filmato, ma quando provo a 
portare avanti l'esecuzione al punto che mi dicevi, si blocca tutto. Va be'.

I had trouble watching that episode. I downloaded episodes 12 and 13 and
saved them, until I could finally access episode 11. This happens often with
the RAI archives. I like to download the files, and verify that they are not
corrupted, so that I can stop in the middle of a program, and restart it
later. Sometimes I have to download files a few times.
Breve riassunto:
Portiere (al ragazzino rom che suona l'armonica): "Eh, Casadei".
Ragazzino rom: "Ma chi sono tutta questa gente?"
Portiere: "Casadei - uno �.  Fai questa - "da da da da" (melodia di "Romagna
Mia").
Ragazzino cinese (cantando): "........RomaNI in fiore".
Portiere: Ma che la sai?
Ragazzino cinese: Si.
Chi avrebbe pensato che tutti i ragazzini figli di immigrati fossero cos�
appassionati del liscio!
Ma "Romagna mia" era un successo del secondo Casadei, Raul, o del primo
Casadei, Secondo?  ;>)
