The Cartoons That Shook the World

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Wed, 6 Oct 2010 01:20:00 -0700

Product Description
On September 30, 2005, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published twelve cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad. Five months later, thousands of Muslims inundated the newspaper with outpourings of anger and grief by phone, email, and fax; from Asia to Europe Muslims took to the streets in protest. This book is the first comprehensive investigation of the conflict that aroused impassioned debates around the world on freedom of expression, blasphemy, and the nature of modern Islam. Jytte Klausen interviewed politicians in the Middle East, Muslim leaders in Europe, the Danish editors and cartoonists, and the Danish imam who started the controversy. Following the winding trail of protests across the world, she deconstructs the arguments and motives that drove the escalation of the increasingly globalized conflict. She concludes that the Muslim reaction to the cartoons was not—as was commonly assumed—a spontaneous emotional reaction arising out of the clash of Western and Islamic civilizations. Rather it was orchestrated, first by those with vested interests in elections in Denmark and Egypt, and later by Islamic extremists seeking to destabilize governments in Pakistan, Lebanon, Libya, and Nigeria. Klausen shows how the cartoon crisis was, therefore, ultimately a political conflict rather than a colossal cultural misunderstanding.

Review
Newstalk host Sean Moncrieff’s Recommended Book, November 2009
(Sean Moncrieff )

“For all its newsworthiness, the Danish cartoons affair remains obscure. Jytte Klausen…has written what must rank as the definitive account. It is a model of investigation and exposition. She demonstrates that the global ructions were not some spontaneous eruption of anger, but a campaign orchestrated for political advantage by a series of actors.”—Oliver Kamm, Prospect
(Oliver Kamm )

"The definitive account of the Danish cartoon controversy...beautifully constructed and intelligent."--Steven Poole, The Guardian (UK)
(The Guardian )

"Astute interpretive history...Klausen conveys unusual insight into the furor''s geopolitical repercussions."--
Arch Puddington, The Weekly Standard
(The Weekly Standard )

“Unlike most of those who sounded off during the affair, [Klausen] has followed in detail the domestic Danish debate and interviewed many of the protagonists. In her dissection of the controversy, she nimbly dispels a string of falsehoods and misperceptions.”—The Economist
(The Economist )

“Meticulously documents the enormous diplomatic and political machinations that sprang into action to transform an editorial lark in faraway Jutland into a global campaign to censor Islam''s critics.”—Ezra Levant, Toronto Globe and Mail
(Toronto Globe and Mail )

“Patient and deeply informed and seeks to complicate our understanding of an event that is easily oversimplified.”—Christopher Caldwell, The Weekly Standard
(The Weekly Standard )

“An important, thorough history of the Danish cartoon controversy, based on sound scholarship.”—David Gura, Columbia Journalism Review
(Columbia Journalism Review )

“This book is deeply researched and sensitively written. It tells a story that had to be told. A must read!” —Baroness Kishwer Falker, Member of the House of Lords
(Baroness Kishwer Falker )

“A balanced and meticulously researched account of the events surrounding the Danish cartoons controversy. Full of valuable insights and recommendations, this is a must read for policy makers, community leaders, and all interested in good relations between the West and Muslims.”—Bhikhu Parekh, author of A New Politics of Identity
(Bhikhu Parekh )

“In this richly textured detective story, Klausen takes us with her on a journey across continents and cultures in an effort to discover why ‘twelve little cartoons’ set off one of the first truly global crises of the twenty-first century. This is an impressive work by a gifted scholar, and is the finest account yet of this little-understood episode in our collective history.”—Tarek Masoud, Harvard University
(Tarek Masoud )

“An extremely thorough and wide ranging analysis of the facts surrounding the release of the Muhammad cartoons and the international framework in which the cartoons reverberated.”—Steven Simon, Council on Foreign Relations
(Steven Simon )

"A significant contribution to understanding the events around the Danish cartoons crisis, which will undoubtedly be subjected to continuing fascination and manipulation. Klausen offers an understanding of the Danish context that no other researcher can match."--Jørgen S. Nielsen, University of Copenhagen
(J�rgen S. Nielsen )

“The Danish cartoon crisis has been described as a deep cultural clash. This fine scholarly study presents it instead as a domestic political conflict among Danish citizens that spread to the international political arena. There were many losers, Klausen argues, but no winners. This is, by far, the best analysis of these events, and certainly the most thorough.”—Martin Schain, author of The Politics of Immigration in France, Britain and the United States
(Martin Schain )

“The ‘cartoons that shook the world’ have polarized opinions and values in a war of words waged around the globe. Jytte Klausen''s timely book brings facts and comparative data to make sense of a debate too often biased by passion, fantasies and false representations.”—Patrick Weil, author of How to Be French: Nationality in the Making since 1789
(Patrick Weil )

“A definitive account of this important chapter in the contemporary encounter between Islam and the West. Klausen takes the reader behind the scenes and explores the winding roads that intersected to create the clash over the cartoons. There is simply no one better placed to write this book.”—Jonathan Laurence, Boston College
(Jonathan Laurence )

"[The book] provides valuable insights into the perceptions and misperceptions of the various players that helped create this cultural debacle."--The Forward
(The Forward )

“Klausen appraises with empathy and irony the characters and issues involved.”--Foreign Affairs
(Foreign Affairs )

Most Helpful Customer Reviews

Great book. He displays how to cartoon men, women, children, elderly and many types of animals. He does it in an extremely visual way that even a child could follow along. This book is packed with 95% illustrations and 5% text. To me, that's a winner. The 5% text that is in there is invaluable. The print is nice and large and easy to read. I am very happy I bought this book. It is a keeper.

A few years ago, on a whim, I decided to start drawing. I didn't know where to begin so I bought this book. I really believed I couldn't draw. The techniques in this book were so easy to learn that soon I went from drawing stick figures to expressive cartoon characters. My confidence went up and I took on more complicated projects. Now, I work part-time doing illustrations and it all started here!

Cartoon Network Christmas

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 23:50:00 -0700

review

Although I enjoyed all of the shows on this DVD, the title is deceptive. The "Camp Lazlo" episode has nothing to do with anything. The "Ed,Edd n Eddy" and "Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends" episodes are based on bithdays ... so "The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy" and "Codename Kids Next Door" are the only two episodes based on X-mas. The DVD is promoted as Cartoon Network Christmas 3 leading you to believe that the cartoons would be based around X-mas episodes. Don't get me wrong, all the episodes were good with minor distractions (heavy blinking) where commericals were to be inserted in the longer shows. Overall, I enjoyed this DVD as a lot of the good cartoons are very rarely shown anymore.

Saturday Morning Cartoons

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 23:42:00 -0700

Amazon.com
Yearning for simpler times? Pour yourself a big bowl of sugary cereal (preferably while you're still wearing your pajamas), then plop yourself in front of the TV and let yourself be transported to a time when Saturday morning meant cartoon time. The smooth-talking Top Cat opens this 33-cartoon, 1960's compilation with the classic episode in which Top Cat becomes the beneficiary of a one million dollar donation, but unknowingly tears up the check. Fred Flintstone goes through the roof when Wilma takes a job outside the home in The Flintstones: The Happy Household--who remembers that that Wilma actually sang in that episode? The Porky Pig Show showcases episodes "Often an Orphan" with Charlie the dog, "Mice Follies," and private eye Daffy Duck in "Super Snooper." The clueless hero Quick Draw McGraw, his alter-ego El Kabong, and his Mexican burro sidekick Baba Looey save the West from an assortment of villains despite a multitude of gunshots to the face and there are also episodes featuring their friends Snooper and Blabber, and Augie Doggie.

The futuristic Jetsons acquire a new robot maid named Rosey, Marine Boy saves the world, The Impossibles foil the evil Spinner, and McGilla Gorilla gets adopted and learns a thing or two about playing football. Also included are classic episodes of Atom Ant, Secret Squirrel, Winsome Witch, Precious Pup, The Peter Potamus Show, Hillbilly Bears, and Squiddly Diddly. While these cartoons are great fun for the adult set, it's interesting that what was considered kids' entertainment in the 1960's is now deemed unsuitable for children due to things like excessive cartoon violence, dishonesty, animal cruelty, and sexist and chauvinistic behavior. Bonus features include previews of each disc (little more than plot summaries), additional Quick Draw McGraw and Augie Doggie episodes, and three interesting featurettes with animators and producers about how Hanna-Barbera pioneered made-for-television cartoons as a response to the decline of theatrical cartoons; the rise of superheroes, action, and fantasy in cartoons sparked in part by the art of Alex Toth in The Herculoids; and the influence of pop culture on cartoons as exemplified by The Impossibles. --Tami Horiuchi

The Complete Cartoons of the New Yorker

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 23:39:00 -0700

From Publishers Weekly
What could be better than a gigantic 656-page collection of 2,004 (get it?) of the best cartoons published in the New Yorker over the last 80 years? Perhaps a double CD set with all 68,647 cartoons ever published in the magazine—complete with a nifty search function that allows readers to search for cartoons by year of publication or by cartoonist's name. This improbably large offering is a bonanza of wry Manhattan-centric comic commentary on urban life and much else in American culture over the years. There's Peter Arno's 1948 ink-and-wash cartoon of a mildly concerned matron, book in hand, asking her newspaper-reading husband, "Is there a Mrs. Kinsey?" Or Peter Steiner's now famous cartoon drawing of two dogs chatting in front of a computer.

"On the Internet," says one canine to the other, "nobody knows you're a dog." The book offers an introduction by New Yorker editor David Remnick and short essays introducing each decade—which readers may want to read after perusing the cartoons first—by such New Yorker luminaries as Roger Angell, Lillian Ross and John Updike. This is an absolutely fabulous collection of sophisticated silliness that will soon take its rightful place on coffee tables all over the country.

From Booklist
Issued as part of the New Yorker's eightieth anniversary celebration, this greatly oversize, undeniably heavy, but amazingly low-priced volume collects, in two formats, the cartoons that have appeared in the pages of that magazine over the course of its distinguished publishing history. Home to outstanding prose and poetry, the New Yorker has also enjoyed an outstanding reputation for its weekly showcasing of socially and politically satiric and, yes, cerebral--but also downright hilarious--cartoons from some of the most popular, cutting-edge, and stiletto-sharp cartoonists of the day. The book itself gathers 2,500 of the most representative cartoons for display, but two accompanying CDs contain all the cartoons (68,647, to be exact) ever published in the magazine. Arrangement is by chapter, with each covering a decade of the New Yorker's existence. Chapters are introduced by noted New Yorker writers, including John Updike, Roger Angell, and Lillian Ross. A testament--a tribute--to the great magazine but also an absolutely special way to spend quality time. Brad Hooper

The New Yorker Book of Mom Cartoons

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 23:34:00 -0700

Product Description
"Know that for every exuberant 'I love you' from a three-year-old, you're bound to get a, as they say, developmentally appropriate 'I hate you' from a thirteen-year-old. The trick is to embrace the one and let go of the other. . . . Laughter helps." --Cartoonist Barbara Smaller, introduction to the Book of Moms

Perfect for Mother's Day, 100 sarcastically pitch-perfect cartoons culled from The New Yorker archives to celebrate Mom's unique motherly mom-ness.

Since 1925, The New Yorker has cultivated the creme de la creme of cartooning elite, a vanguard of sketching artists with astute wit and clever perceptions of life and living. Inside this special collection, such New Yorker cartooning greats as Charles Barsotti, Robert Mankoff, and Barbara Smaller offer up 100 black-and-white single-panel cartoons in tribute to a diverse array of moms, ranging from football and CEO moms to tattooed and jack-in-the-box moms.

A witty introduction by New Yorker cartoonist Barbara Smaller opens this homage by calling attention to a few of her favorite cartoons within the collection, including:

* Roz Chast's "Bad Mom cards, where Lucy, Gloria, and others are guilty, guilty, guilty of such crimes as not making Play-Doh from scratch or serving orange soda."
* Sam Gross's cartoon depicting a "primordial ooze rising out of a test tube . . . inquiring hopefully of the scientist, 'Are you my mommy?'"

About the Author
Although its reviews and events listings often focus on cultural life within New York City, The New Yorker boasts an international audience and is well-known for its commentaries on popular culture and eccentric Americana; its attention to modern fiction and poetry by the inclusion of short stories, literary reviews, and original poems; its rigorous fact-checking and copyediting; its journalistic regard for world politics and social issues; and its famous single-panel cartoons sprinkled throughout each edition.

Gil: a Collection of Classic Cartoons from QST

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:22:00 -0700

Product Description
Rear cover notes: "Philip 'Gil' Gildersleeve, W1CJD, contributed over 1500 cartoons and drawings to QST and the ARRL for almost 40 years. This book presents only a small portion of the 'best of Gil.' Gil was a avid radio amateur, devoted family man and exceptionally active in the community. For several years he worked as a radio operator aboard merchant ships and later on was News Editor of the Middletown (CT) Press. He was a member of Who's Who in American Art. Although Gil became a silent key in 1966 his characters live on. Most DXers would love to have a 'Jeeves' to handle the tough chores around the shack. What radio club doesn't have members who mirror those of the Podunk Hollow Radio Club, particularly on Field Day! This book is a tribute to W1CJD, and we're sure you will have as much fun reading and viewing Gil's work as we did assembling the material."

Drawing the New Adventure Cartoons: Cool Spies, Evil Guys and Action Heroes

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 03:15:00 -0700

From School Library Journal
Grade 4 Up—This fun guide works best for those with some previous figure-drawing experience (or as a source of entertainment for fans of the style). Sections on "Drawing the Head," "Drawing the Teen Action Body," and "Using Body Language to Convey Emotion" offer detailed and, for the most part, step-by-step instructions. Subsequent sections are less detailed, but provide examples of unique and zany aspects of adventure-style characters. In fact, what makes the book so entertaining is the thin line between technique and flourish.

From the beginning, Hart includes written side comments with the most basic of instructions. For example, in his instruction for drawing the head of a teen boy hero, he notes, "Heroes DO NOT have skinny necks." For the teen girl hero, he writes, "An overbite is an attractive look for characters with full lips." Throughout the book, Hart also includes useful tip boxes, often demonstrating how not to draw a character. These suggestions are invaluable, providing insight into creating kinetic and expressive cartoons. Even if readers walk away without having mastered new adventure cartoon illustration, they will at least gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the style.—Kim T. Ha, Elkridge Branch Library, MD

Product Description
One of today’s most popular trends in cartooning is the eye-catching teen adventure style—the type found in such major animated TV shows as Kim Possible. It’s fresh and new, decidedly humorous, and even relatively easy to draw. With this fun collection, bestselling author Chris Hart gives kids a chance to create their own. These cool stories feature ordinary teens thrust into thrilling situations—teens with dual identities, who live as regular students by day and become secret spies on weekends. The art straddles the line between comic book and cartoony; offers strong male and female heroes; and showcases a colorful cast of sinister villains and entertaining sidekicks. These exuberant characters will encourage readers to replicate every drawing in the book—as will Chris’s trademark friendly, personal, and thorough coverage of art principles.

TIPS AND TRICK BERMAIN BIOLA

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Mon, 31 May 2010 22:23:00 -0700

Nah berikut ini saya bagikan sedikit saran dan tips dalam bermain biola, atau apa sih yang perlu diperhatikan saat berlatih / berlajari biola.

@ PelemasanSebelum dan sesudah berlatih, sempatkan diri untuk melakukan pelemasan otot (bisa seperti senam), untuk melepaskan ketegangan.

@ Istirahatmeskipun kita merasa kuat dan mampu, batasi waktu latihan dan tetap konsisten dengan durasi tersebut.Saat merasa lelah (pegal) sebaiknya simpan rasa penasaran kita untuk keesokan harinya. Jangan tunggu sampai bagian tubuh benar-benar sakit baru berhenti. Jika ini menjadi kebiasaan, itu adalah kebiasaan buruk. Anda hanya akan melukai diri sendiri pada masa yang akan datang.Contoh yang terjadi saat kita lelah adalah : tanpa sadar tubuh akan membungkuk. Jika latihan terus dilanjutkan, anda akan memelihara kebiasaan “bungkuk” ini.

@ RileksasiBuatlah latihan rileksasi sebagai rutinitas, untuk membiasakan diri tetap rileks, karena hal ini akan terus terbawa saat tampil di depan publik.

@ MenulisSusahnya, karena banyak yang harus kita ingat, mulai dari posisi tangan, lengan, kepala, dan lainnya, jika memang anda tidak mudah / tidak mau untuk mengingatnya, ada 2 cara mengatasinya :[1] – Tuliskan poin-poin penting dengan huruf yang besar (pada kertas minimal ukuran A4) agar mudah dibaca, dan tempelkan pada tempat yang dapat terlihat dengan jelas pada saat anda berlatih (tidak perlu malu pada teman yang berkunjung).Apa yang telah dituliskan, lakukan selama beberapa waktu sampai anda yakin bahwa anda dapat mengingatnya, dan sudah melewatinya. Kemudian, gantilah tulisan dengan poin-poin lainnya, tetapi jangan membuang tulisan yang lama, karena suatu saat akan dibutuhkan.[2] – Anda memang membutuhkan guru, untuk selalu mengingatkan.

@ Tetaplah Bernafas Menyadari bahwa kita sedang bernafas, sebab, kita sering menahan nafas (tanpa sadar) karena terlalu serius atau tegang, dan ketika sadar, segera kita akan menarik nafas yang panjang lalu menghembuskannya dengan kuat.

@ Step by Step, (satu demi satu)Latihan bukan sekedar mengulangi hal yang sama, tetapi kita harus sadar dan rasakan apa yang sedang kita “latih”. Apakah tangan kanan?, pergelangan?, tangan kiri?, jari?, atau kepala dan dagu?, dan apa saja yang menjadi pusat pemikiran anda saat itu.Pisahkan poin berlatih. Fokuskan satu hal terlebih dahulu, misalnya : jika tangan kanan yang menjadi masalah anda, jangan pikirkan bagian lainnya ; atau, jika bahu / dagu anda mengganggu pikiran anda, fokuskan dulu ke situ.

@ Tangga Nada sepanjang hayatJangan tercengang…, ini termasuk salah satu teknik pemanasan, dan termasuk “kunci” dalam bermain alat musik apapun, terutama pada instrumen gesek seperti biola, atau alat musik lain yang tidak menggunakan pembatas nada. Ingin menjadi pemain biola yang baik? Tangga Nada adalah teknik dasar yang harus terus dilatih selama anda masih ingin tetap tampil prima.

@ Tidak Boleh MaluBuang jauh-jauh rasa malu, minder dan perasaan sejenisnya. Hal ini hanya akan menghambat anda untuk maju. Kebiasaan seorang pemula saat belajar biola adalah :karena takut didengar tetangga karena mainnya masih “fales”, akhirnya ktia memainkkannya dengan sangat-sangat lembut (hanya dia yang bisa mendengar).Coba bandingkan . . . mana yang lebih dahsyat menurut anda, barmain salah/fales didengar oleh tetangga sendiri tanpa melihat anda sedang berlatih, ataukah salah/fales saat anda sudah tampil di tempat umum, dimana banyak orang sedang melihat anda?

@ Melatih ketepatan nada (intonasi) pada biolajika anda tidak memiliki tuner digital, maka tips untuk melatih intonasi adalah bernyanyi (do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do) sambil memainkan tangga nada. Lain kata : nyanyikan dengan pelan – do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do – bersamaan saat jari menekan senar (berlatih tangga nada).Ini mungkin hanya sugesti bagi anda, tapi bagi saya nada–nada (do-re-mi-fa-so-la-si-do) yang sedang / biasa kita nyanyikan, akan memerintahkan jari kita agar menekan senar pada tempatnya (membunyikan nada dengan benar). Kata lainnya adalah : suara adalah penuntun jari, jadi, tuntunlah jari anda dengan suara anda.

@ Sering-seringlah menonton video atau pertunjukan permainan biola.Ketika menyaksikan sebuah pertunjukan live, atau sebuah rekaman video, jangan hanya sekedar mendengar bunyinya, atau melihat aksi panggungnya, dan lain sebagainya. Tetapi, (jika anda berniat belajar) :1. Perhatikan dengan seksama bagaimana gerak tangannya?, baik itu tangan kanan maupun tangan kirinya : bagaimana posisi siku, lengan atas, pergelangan, dan mungkin jarinya, dan lain sebagainya.2. Bagaimana postur tubuhnya ketika berdiri ataupun duduk?3. Apakah yang menjadi pertanyaan anda, atau masalah yang sedang anda hadapi saat berlatih biola?, lihat dengan teliti saat menyaksikan seseorang bermain biola, kemudian analisahlah apa yang menjadi kendala anda.4. Dan bandingkan ketika anda sedang berlatih didepan cermin, apa bedanya?.

Waktu yang ditempuh setiap orang dalam proses pembentukan teknik bermain alat musik yang baik tidaklah sama, jadi sabarlah, jangan terburu-buru jika ingin jadi pemain musik yang berkualitas.

Tentang Biola

putut.agus@yahoo.com (PUTUT AGUS) — Mon, 31 May 2010 22:09:00 -0700

Biola adalah sebuah alat musik dawai yang dimainkan dengan cara digesek. Biola memiliki empat senar (G-D-A-E) yang disetel berbeda satu sama lain dengan interval sempurna kelima. Nada yang paling rendah adalah G. Di antara keluarga biola, yaitu dengan viola dan cello, biola memiliki nada yang tertinggi. Alat musik dawai yang lainnya, bas, secara teknis masuk ke dalam keluarga viol. Kertas musik untuk biola hampir selalu menggunakan atau ditulis pada kunci G.

Sebuah nama yang lazim dipakai untuk biola ialah fiddle, dan biola seringkali disebut fiddle jika digunakan untuk memainkan lagu-lagu tradisional (lihat di bawah).

Di dalam bahasa Indonesia, orang yang memainkan biola disebut pemain biola (pebiola), atau violinis (Inggris: Violinist - bedakan dengan violis atau pemain viola). Orang yang membuat atau membetulkan alat musik berdawai disebut luthier.

SEJARAH BIOLA

Alat musik dawai yang mula-mula biasanya dimainkan dengan cara dipetik (misalnya harpa tangan Yunani). Alat musik gesek diperkirakan berasal dari budaya penunggang kuda di kawasan Asia tengah, contohnya alat musik bangsa Mongolia Morin huur. Alat musik gesek berdawai dua bangsa Turkik dan Mongolia dawainya dari surai kuda, dimainkan dengan busur surai kuda, dan memiliki ukiran kepala kuda di bagian kepalanya. Biola, viola, dan cello yang busurnya masih dibuat dari surai kuda, adalah peninggalan bangsa nomaden tersebut.[1]

Dipercayai bahwa alat musik mula-mula tersebut dibawa ke Asia Timur, India, Bizantium dan Timur Tengah; di tempat-tempat tersebut mereka menyesuaikan dengan lingkungannya dan berkembang menjadi alat musik erhu, esra, harpa tangan Bizantium, dan rebab. Biola dalam bentuk modern bermula dari Italia Utara pada awal abad ke-16, terutama di kota pelabuhan Venice dan Genoa yang berhubungan langsung ke Asia Tengah lewat jalur sutera.

Biola Eropa modern dipengaruhi oleh berbagai alat musik, terutama dari Timur Tengah[2] dan Bizantium[3][4]. Tiga jenis alat musik mula-mula yang biasanya disebut sebagai cikal-bakal biola adalah rebec (yang diturunkan dari harpa tangan Bizantium[5] dan rebab), vielle (biola abad Renaisans), dan lira da braccio [6] (yang juga diturunkan dari harpa tangan Bizantium[3]). Salah satu deskripsi terawal tentang biola, termasuk cara penyetelannya, ada di dalam Epitome musical karya Jambe de Fer, yang diterbitkan di Lyon pada 1556.[7] Perlahan-lahan biola mulai menyebar ke seluruh Eropa.

Biola tertua yang pernah dicatat yang memiliki empat senar seperti biola modern dibuat oleh Andrea Amati pada tahun 1555, walaupun tahun tepatnya diragukan. (Biola yang lebih awal hanya memiliki tiga senar, disebut violetta.) Biola seketika menjadi populer, baik di antara para pemusik jalanan maupun para bangsawan, terbukti bahwa raja Perancis Charles IX menyuruh Amati untuk membuat 24 biola untuknya pada tahun 1560.[8] Biola tertua yang masih ada saat ini adalah salah satu dari ke-24 biola ini, dan diberi nama "Charles IX", dibuat di Cremona c. 1560. Biola jaman Renaisans yang paling bagus dengan ukiran dan hiasan adalah Gasparo da Salò (1574 c.) yang pertama-tama dimiliki oleh Ferdinand II, Adipati Agung Austria, dan selanjutnya, sejak 1841, oleh virtuoso Norwegia Ole Bull, yang menggunakannya selama empat puluh tahun dan ribuan konser. Saat ini biola tersebut berada di Vestlandske Kustindustrimuseum di Bergen, Norwegia. "The Messiah" atau "Le Messie" (juga dikenal sebagai "Salabue") yang dibuat oleh Antonio Stradivari pada 1716 belum pernah sekalipun dipakai. Biola tersebut berada di Museum Ashmolean di Oxford.[9]

San Zaccaria Altarpiece (detil), Venice, Giovanni Bellini, 1505

Terjadi perubahan yang cukup besar pada pembuatan biola pada abad ke-18, terutama dalam hal panjang dan sudut leher biola. Mayoritas alat musik yang lama telah diperbarui sesuai standar yan baru ini, dan maka dari itu jelas berbeda dari keadaan alat musik tersebut ketika diselesaikan oleh seniman pembuat biola, termasuk perbedaan dalam hal suara dan respons.[10] Namun alat-alat musik ini dengan kondisi mereka pada saat ini menjadi standar kesempurnaan pada seni pembuatan biola dan suara biola, dan pembuat biola di seluruh dunia berusaha untuk mendekati ideal tersebut sedapat mungkin.

Hingga hari ini, alat musik dari "Jaman Keemasan" pembuatan biola, terutama yang dibuat oleh Stradivari dan Guarneri del Gesù, adalah alat-alat musik yang paling diburu oleh kolektor dan pemain biola. Rekor harga biola saat ini untuk biola Stradivari adalah AS$3.544.000 dalam sebuah lelang pada 16 Mei 2006. Semua biola Stradivarius memiliki nama unik; biola termahal Stradivari bernama "Hammer" ("Palu") yang dibuat pada tahun 1707.[11]

CARA BERMAIN BIOLA

Penyangga bahu

Walaupun ada beberapa pemain biola yang memainkan dengan kidal, namun mayoritas pemain biola, kidal maupun tidak kidal, bermain dengan biola di tangan kiri dan busur di tangan kanan. Cara yang benar untuk bermain biola adalah dengan memegang biola dengan tangan kiri, dan penyangga dagu pada biola diapit dengan dagu dan pundak kiri, dapat dibantu dengan penyangga bahu, namun banyak pemain yang memilik tidak menggunakannya. Bermain biola dapat dilakukan dengan berdiri maupun duduk di kursi, sesuai selera pemain.

Cara membunyikan biola dapat dengan digesek dengan busur maupun dipetik dengan jari tangan kanan (teknik ini disebut dengan pizzicato). Walaupun untuk pemain biasa memetik senar biola dengan teknik pizzicato selalu dilakukan dengan jari tangan kanan, namun ada pula pemain yang memetik dengan tangan kiri dan lagu-lagu khusus yang memerlukan kecepatan tinggi antara menggesek dengan busur dan memetik dengan jari sehingga jari tangan kiri yang digunakan.

[sunting] Tangan kiri

Karena biola tidak memiliki fret seperti gitar sebagai penanda jari, seorang pemain biola harus benar-benar tahu di mana letak suatu nada dengan menggunakan perasaan. Hal ini hanya dapat dilakukan dengan berlatih terus menerus sehingga jari-jari tangan dapat secara otomatis menekan nada yang diinginkan dengan tepat (ingatan otot). Selain melatih jari, pemain biola juga harus melatih telinga sehingga dapat membedakan nada-nada sumbang, walaupun hanya sedikit saja.

Teknik yang digunakan oleh para pemula untuk menandai letak nada pada biola antara lain dengan selotip yang ditempelkan pada leher biola, atau dengan menggunakan Tip X putih untuk menandai posisi jari. Setelah latihan dengan rajin, seorang pemula diharapkan akan dapat mengingat-ingat dan meninggalkan metode-metode di atas dan mengandalkan refleks saja. Metode ini dianggap kurang begitu baik karena mengandalkan indra penglihatan, bukan pendengaran, sedangkan dalam bermain biola mengetahui posisi jari bukan melalui penglihatan, karena pemain juga harus membaca not musik, melainkan harus melalui pendengaran.

Posisi jari pada fret biola

Latihan pendengaran untuk pemula sebaiknya dilakukan sejak dini agar fondasinya kokoh. Salah satu teknik yang sering digunakan adalah dengan melatih bunyi yang sama. Keempat senar biola memiliki empat 'nada terbuka' atau 'senar terbuka', yaitu G-D-A-E (diberi warna hitam pada gambar), nada yang berbunyi jika senar digesek tanpa ditekan oleh jari. Keempat nada terbuka ini akan turut bersuara jika nada serupa pada senar lain dibunyikan (karena persamaa frekuensi), misalnya senar D akan berbunyi jika nada D (kiri bawah pada gambar) pada senar G dibunyikan. Pada posisi pertama ada sembilan 'nada tertutup' (atau 'senar tertutup', yaitu nada yang berbunyi jika ditekan oleh jari) yang memiliki resonansi akustik dengan keempat nada terbuka di atas.

[sunting] Posisi jari

Jari tangan biasanya diberi nomor 1 (telunjuk) hingga 4 (kelingking), dan not-not musik, terutama untuk para pemula, diberi penomoran demikian untuk menandai jari mana yang harus digunakan. Nomor 0 berarti nada terbuka (jari tidak menekan senar). Bagan di samping menunjukkan posisi pertama pada biola, yaitu nada-nada yang dapat ditekan oleh jari tanpa harus menggeser posisi tangan. Yang tidak terlihat pada gambar di samping adalah jarak antara nada-nada tersebut yang semakin tinggi semakin kecil jaraknya. Garis biru menandakan posisi selotip untuk jari 1-2-3 yang biasa digunakan oleh pemula.

Posisi jari, seperti yang telah disinggung di atas, merupakan istilah untuk menggambarkan letak tangan relatif terhadap leher biola. Posisi natural (yaitu posisi dasar) disebut Posisi 1; pada posisi ini tangan kiri memegang leher biola secara natural, jari-jari tangan dapat digunakan untuk memainkan seluruh tangga nada G mulai dari senar G dengan nada tertinggi nada B pada senar E. Pada biola maupun alat-alat musik gesek lainnya posisi ini merupakan posisi yang paling sering digunakan.

Dengan menggeser posisi tangan kiri turun ke arah badan biola maka dikatakan posisinya telah berubah. Posisi 2 dicapai dengan memposisikan jari telunjuk (jari 1) pada jari 2 di posisi 1, dengan kata lain posisi jarinya bergeser satu; Posisi 2 memiliki jangkauan mulai dari nada terendah B di G dan nada tertinggi C# di E. Posisi ketiga dari C di G hingga D# dan seterusnya. Setelah Posisi 5 biasanya hanya pemain yang mahir yang menggunakannya untuk dapat memainkan nada-nada tinggi di senar E, dan biasanya sudah tidak diberi nama lagi (mis. walaupun secara teori ada Posisi 15, posisi yang dianggap tertinggi, namun hal tersebut tidak pernah diajarkan secara lisan). Batas atas nada biola tergantung pada tingkat kemahiran pemain seorang pemain biola, yang dapat dengan mudah bermain dua tangga nada pada satu senar, atau maksimal empat tangga nada pada keempat senar. Posisi terendah biasanya disebut Posisi ½, yaitu di antara nada terbuka dan Posisi 1, walaupun posisi ini jarang digunakan.

Senar yang digunakan untuk memainkan suatu nada biasanya mempengaruhi kualitas nada, atau yang disebut dengan timbre, yang dihasilkan. Contohnya, walaupun nada E rendah dapat dimainkan di senar G (Posisi 2 - Posisi 5) dan di senar D (Posisi 1), namun terkadang penulis musik menginginkan nada tersebut dimainkan di senar tertentu, contohnya dengan markah sul G yang berarti 'dimainkan di senar G' dan seterusnya. Jika tidak disebutkan secara eksplisit, maka seorang pemain dapat secara bebas menggunakan senar yang dipilihnya.

[sunting] Senar terbuka

Nada dasar dawai biola

Menggesek ataupun memetik nada terbuka (senar terbuka) — yakni nada yang dibunyikan tanpa menekan senar dengan jari — memiliki suara yang khas dan berbeda dengan nada yang sama yang dibunyikan secara tertutup (ditekan oleh jari), misalnya nada terbuka D (di senar D) dan nada D pada senar G. Hal ini dikarenakan getaran senar yang lebih leluasa pada sadel atas jika tidak dihalangi oleh jari tangan. Selain dari nada G rendah, yang hanya memiliki satu cara untuk memainkannya, biasanya pemain musik biola klasik cenderung menghindari bunyi nada terbuka, karena kualitas nadanya yang lebih 'kasar' — terutama nada terbuka E — dibanding nada-nada tertutup lainnya, dan pemain tidak dapat menggunakan teknik getaran (vibrato) pada nada terbuka, walaupun bagi pemain yang mahir hal ini dapat diakali dengan cara melakukan teknik vibrato pada nada yang satu oktaf lebih tinggi dari nada terbuka tersebut.

Beberapa penulis musik dapat membubuhkan tanda di musiknya jika sebuah nada perlu dimainkan dengan menggunakan senar terbuka, seperti pada karya-karya awal komponis seperti Bach. Nada terbuka juga dapat dimainkan pada bagian musik yang cepat, yang suaranya kurang lebih tidak dapat dibedakan.

[sunting] Pemberhentian ganda

Pemberhentian ganda merupakan istilah untuk teknik memainkan biola dengan menggesek dua nada tertutup pada dua senar yang berbeda secara bersamaan, yang menghasilkan bunyi kord. Teknik pemberhentian ganda juga dapat dimainkan hanya dengan satu nada tertutup dan nada lainnya merupakan Senar terbuka. Tiga atau empat nada juga dapat dimainkan secara bersamaan oleh pemain yang mahir, yang masing-masing disebut dengan 'pemberhentian ganda tiga' dan 'pemberhentian ganda empat' (nada-nadanya dapat dimainkan secara bersamaan atau dengan melakukan teknik pemberhentian ganda dua kali)

[sunting] Getaran

Bagian ini membutuhkan pengembangan

Getaran atau vibrato merupakan teknik menggetarkan senar dengan jari yang menekan senar. Senar digeser dengan cepat maju-mundur sehingga menimbulkan suara bergetar. Teknik ini juga biasa disebut vibrasi.

[sunting] Harmonik

Bagian ini membutuhkan pengembangan

Nada harmonik pada biola dibunyikan dengan menyentuh (bukan menekan) senar pada posisi tertentu yang menyebabkan timbulnya suara yang lebih tinggi dari suara nada pada posisi yang sama jika ditekan.

[sunting] Tangan kanan

Tangan kanan sebagai pemegang busur memiliki peranan penting dalam menciptakan suara. Tangan kanan bertanggung jawab dalam hal kualitas nada, ritme, dinamik, artikulasi, dan timbre. Dengan mengetahui teknik-teknik menggesek busur yang baik, maka seorang pemain dapat mengatur suara yang dihasilkan oleh biola.

Teknik yang terpenting dalam menggesek biola adalah cara memegang busur. Biasanya busur dipegang dengan jempol yang dimasukkan di sela-sela ujung bawah busur. Jari-jari yang lain diletakkan di sebelah atas busur.

Suara yang dihasilkan akan lebih keras jika busur digesek dengan kecepatan tinggi atau dengan memberi tekanan pada senar biola. Kualitas suara yang dihasilkan berbeda, jika senar semakin ditekan oleh busur, maka suara yang dihasilkan akan semakin kasar.

Posisi senar yang digesek juga mempengaruhi suara yang dihasilkan. Senar yang digesek di dekat jembatan biola (sul ponticello) akan lebih besar suaranya daripada jika digesek jauh dari jembatan biola.

Ada banyak teknik menggesek biola yang memungkinkan berbagai macam pemain untuk menghasilkan berbagai macam suara, termasuk di antaranya adalah legato, collé, ricochet, sautillé, martelé, spiccato, dan staccato.

[sunting] Petikan

Bagian ini membutuhkan pengembangan

Petikan atau pizzicato (disingkat pizz.) menandakan teknik memetik senar biola dengan jari tangan kanan.

[sunting] Teknik busur lainnya

Col legno

(Italia: col legno - dengan kayu) - membunyikan senar dengan bagian kayu busur, bukan surainya.

Spicacto

memantul-mantulkan busur pada senar dengan kecepatan sedang, biasanya dilakukan dengan permainan jari yang cepat.

Tremolando

pengulangan yang sangat cepat (biasanya satu nada saja, namun terkadang lebih dari satu) yang dilakukan dengan puncak busur.

Selamat datang di BLOG PAINT FRIEND ART STUDIO...yang menampilkan gambar2 ILUSTRASI menggunakan SOFTWARE Corel Photo Paint, SOFTWARE ini sudah banyak digunakan di INDONESIA, cuma hanya untuk mengedit foto,padahal sebenarnya software ini bukan hanya untuk RETOUCH FOTO aja,tapi untuk menggambar ilustrasi seperti contoh2 yang saya berikan.software ini sering diremehkan di Indonesia karena sering dianggap sebagai software pendukung saja dalam Corel Draw. tentunya dalam hal ini kita perlu belajar dengan lebih tekun menggunakan tool2 pada PHOTO PAINT....saya yakin dengan software ini ilustrasi yang anda ciptakan jauh melebihi karya saya....selamat mencoba...chayooo...
