Pavarroti



  Lucica Pavarroti (10/12/1935- 9/6/2007) is my favorite singer in the world. Maybe the most famous thing is at the opera la fille du regiment ( the daughter of regiment)  in 1972, he sung the high C pitch nine times effortlessly ; even for professional tenor, it's a challenge to sing this pitch but Pavarroti can sing it exactly and smoothly. After that, he was called "the king of high C".
Many people say his beautiful voice was given by God, and since he is Italian, he is the master of Italian songs- no one can sing better than him in Italian songs.

  Of course, no one is a perfect singer, neither does Pavarotti. For example, his perfermence on the stage is terrible. Some people laugh him and say the most suitable song for him is the song with high C and all he needs to do is just sing it. As one of the best 3 tenors in the world, many people will compare Pavarotti with Domingo. Pavarotti never sings Deutch or French operas, but Domingo does. And Domingo is not only a good singer, but a good actor. Second, maybe he is the most fattest singer in the world, in fact his weight also affects his performence. On the other hand, the most famous and remarkable activity for Pavarroti is he will hold a perfermance with many pop stars every year, it's called " Pavarroti and his friends".  Compared with singing an opera, it will make more money for him. Three years ago he came to Taiwan for his farwell concert, but it sounds terrible- he's not the greatest singer at that time.


  However, the best way to judge a singer is his/her voice, not his brain or his behavior. Undoubly he is the best singer in Italian songs.  Maybe we can say he's the best singer in the late 20 century; on the other hand, since the golden age of opera had passed, maybe he's the last famous singer in the world.

紀錄


上星期: 我發現我在台灣的兩年完全是走錯路,現在的我兩個月就做得到… 曾經我以為那是我數學   生涯的開始,沒想到原來根本就是浪費時間

星期一:按約定去找老闆,結果老師沒來…心情很差

星期二:寫信給老闆,結果他還是沒來…有一陣子想不開,後來發現也沒什麼好想不開的

星期三:我總是覺得自己應該得到更好的待遇,但發現自己沒有想像中的好…

星期四:我發現老師其實對我不錯,居然跟我說不好意思,他最近比較忙。只不過他突然問了一句
             " You don't understand abelian variety and elliptic curve, don't you?"
             " Just a little. I mean..."
            " Yes, Yes, ..."
             有時我很想證明我和這兒的人有什麼不一樣,但在真正的專家面前,其實是沒有差別的…

            YP知道我跟Niziol後好像很高興,因為他說這和我原來的背景最像…但我深深地了解到,   那背景根本不是什麼背景,充其量不過是些abstract nonsense而已。

我有很多理由可以塘塞,但這一切全都是因為我個性上的弱點造成的

但就算如此狼狽,我不是一直都是這樣過來的嗎??

Advisor



Sometimes I think I'm a little strange; don't like to talk with others, don't know how to respond other's questions, just pay attention on my work. Now I find I'm not the strangest one: my adviser is much stranger than me.

It depends on your definition whether she's my adviser. In fact I've never worked with her. I think things will be better when we begin to run a seminar this week; maybe she's not strange, she has a clear eye to view the world in a clear way.

Practice will not lie to me

I'm very upset because this department doesn't care about if students are in progress, they just care about students fulfill their duty well. Instead of students, why not find a professional teacher?

All I can do is to convince myself practice will not lie to me, and I will practice on and on, by myself and for myself...
