Veneen luominen




Veneen luominen (The Building of the Boat) is an unfinished composition by Jean Sibelius. The work was intended to be a grand opera, in the style of Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen, but was never completed, as Sibelius became disenchanted with Wagner's compositional techniques.



History


Sibelius was of the generation of composers whose works modeled late 19th-century compositional methods. Like others, he had a great appreciation for Wagner. Inspired by Wagner, Sibelius thought of himself as an operatic composer and thought that operas would be the focus of his career. He systematically studied the scores of Wagner's operas Tannhäuser, Lohengrin, and Die Walküre. He also attended a performance of Parsifal, which greatly affected him.


Sibelius then began work on his opera, entitling it Veneen luominen (The Building of the Boat). Shortly thereafter, his enthusiasm for Wagner plummeted and he forcefully rejected Wagner's techniques of composition, feeling they were too mechanical and stilted. The Swan of Tuonela – now a popular concert item – was to be the work's Prelude.


As he had lost interest in the composition of opera, the musical material from the incomplete Veneen luominen was eventually used for the Lemminkäinen Suite (1896), and the tone poem The Wood Nymph (1895).[citation needed]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
