Big Bang 2016-02-28: Ritter, Bartók, Brahms
Sat 2016-02-27
Für Kurzentschlossene. Die Junge Tonhalle schreibt:
Das Jugendsinfonieorchester der Tonhalle Düsseldorf zeigt am 28. Februar unter der Leitung von Ernst von Marschall wieder das geballte Können talentierter Nachwuchsmusiker. Auf dem Programm steht neben Bartóks "Tanzsuite" und Ritters "Sinfonia concertante" auch Brahms Vierte Symphonie. Diese letzte aus seiner Feder stammende Symphonie erntete noch zu Lebzeiten des Komponisten großen Applaus. Elisabeth von Herzogenberg sagte über das Werk, es sei "eine kleine Welt für die Klugen und Wissenden, an der das Volk, das im Dunkeln wandelt, nur einen schwachen Anteil haben könnte".
Karten kann man hier oder an der Abendkasse erwerben.

Until now we have only looked at vanilla Emacs features. These also include commands for editing tables, but tables from Org Mode (which is distributed alongside emacs) are much more versatile.

Sat 2015-12-19
There are some tasks that are tedious to do by hand or impractical to do with substitution and regular expressions, but do not yet demand full blown programming in Emacs Lisp to solve. The reason for that are Emacs' keyboard macros.
