Magistrale 1 - material for Friday,7th December

Print off passage below for Friday's lesson.

The air felt heavy, sweetish, as if the rooms were permanently inhabited by genteel women, and the windows never opened. And Mrs Durrant gave the same impression, of exhausted but cherished womanhood. Instinctively, Mrs Marsh, who had had a vigorous marriage, looked around for signs, even relics , of a man, but (5) found none. Her eye met only a rack containing fashion magazines, and library books, which, from their covers, looked as if they had been written by women. Yet Mrs Durrant was still attractive and must once have been a beauty .She had an intimate way of taking , was fulsome in her gratitude, was, in fact, pleasing, even intriguing. She had a soft voice, beautifully tended hands with rosy polished nails. (10) One of those hands had been laid on Mrs Marsh’s much larger rougher one , with its plain gold band. “ Don’t go,” said Ms Durrant. “ my daughter will make us some tea.” She padded over the pink and blue carpet to the door. “Anna! Anna darling! Will you make us some tea, dear? I want you to meet Mrs. Marsh.” The sound of a sewing machine, so faint, that it hardly registered as such, stopped (15) abruptly. Ten minutes later Anna Durrant had come in with tea things on a black japanned tray. Mrs Marsh noticed her kingfisher- blue suit, in fine tweed, which she admired. “Anna makes all her own clothes,” said Mrs. Durrant proudly. Then the two women fell greedily into exchanging the stories of their lives, for such an encounter was not to be wasted. In fact Mrs. Marsh was adept at dealing (20) out the few facts she was willing to make public - the dead husband, one daughter, one son - knowing that this was the appropriate currency for a person of her age and type, but actually too curious about this affecting woman with her old- fashioned flowery elegance and her general air of bewilderment to waste time on herself.

MAGISTRALE 1 - material for 4th December

Please print off the passage below.

But to be in Seville without a guitar is like being on ice without skates. So every morning, while Kati went dancing with h Maestro Realito, I took lessons on the instrument in my room.

My instructor, one of Seville’s most respected professors of the guitar, was a small sad man, exquisitely polite and patient, poorly but neatly dressed, and addicted to bow ties made of wallpaper. Each day at the stroke of ten, he knocked softly at my door and entered on tiptoe, as though into a sick room, carrying his guitar case like a doctor’s bag.

“ How are we today?” he would ask sympathetically, “ and how do we proceed?”

Silently, he would place two chairs opposite each other, put me in the one facing the light, sit himself in the other, then ponder me long and sadly while I played. Infinite compassion, as from one who has seen much suffering , possessed his face while he listened. An expression of one who, forced to inhabit a solitary peak of perfection, has nowhere to look but downwards at the waste of a fumbling world.

After an hour’s examination, during which he tested all my faulty coordinations, he would hand me a page of exercises and bid me take them twice a day. Then, with a little bow, his chin resting mournfully upon his paper tie, he would leave me to visit his next patient.

Sometimes - but very occasionally - he would relax at the end of the lesson, empty his pockets of tobacco dust, roll himself a cigarette, smile, take up his guitar and play it to me for an hour. Then his eyes would turn inward and disappear into the echoing chambers of his mind, while his long white fingers moved over the strings with the soft delicacy of the blind, lost in a dream of melody and invention. And faced with the beauty of his technique , the complex harmonies , the ease and grace , the supreme mastery of tone and feeling, I would feel like one of the lesser apes who, shuffling on his knuckles through the sombre marshes , suddenly catches sight of homo sapiens, upright on a hill, his gold head raised to the sky.

MAGISTRALE 1 - MATERIAL FOR 4th December

Translate the text below .

Finalmente poteva ammettere con se stesso di non avere mai amato nessuna così, e di non avere mai incontrato nessuno, uomo o donna che fosse, che la uguagliasse in serietà. Forse, se fosse rimasto con lei, sarebbe riuscito a concentrarsi di più sulle sue ambizioni, forse avrebbe anche scritto quei libri di storia. Pur non essendo affatto il suo genere, Edward sapeva che l'Ennismore Quartet era famoso, tuttora un punto di riferimento nel mondo della musica classica. A concerto non andava mai; non comprava, e nemmeno curiosava tra le raccolte di brani di Beethoven e di Schubert. Non aveva voglia di riconoscerla in una fotografia, e di constatare gli effetti del tempo, o di scoprire dettagli sulla sua vita privata. Preferiva custodirla com'era nei suoi ricordi, con il fiore di tarassaco nell'asola della camicetta e il nastro di velluto nei capelli, la sacca di tela sulle spalle, e quella sua faccia dalle ossa grandi e il bel sorriso sincero. Se pensava a lei, si stupiva un po' di aver lasciato andare via quella ragazza con il violino. Ormai ovviamente sapeva che la sua proposta di tenersi in disparte era piuttosto pretestuosa. Le occorreva soltanto essere certa che lui l'amasse, sentirsi rassicurare sul fatto che non esisteva nessuna fretta, avendo un'intera vita davanti. Amore e pazienza, ah, se solo non se li fosse scoperti in tempi diversi, li avrebbero di certo aiutati a superare ogni cosa.

D. Put the following text into English

Si sono introdotti in casa di una famiglia di Melbourne, Australia, nella mattinata di lunedì 6 novembre, con l'intenzione di portare via quanti più oggetti possibili, ma insieme a un iPad, un computer portatile e dei gioielli , i ladri hanno rapito anche Sasha, una cucciola di labrador di sole 8 settimane. La scomparsa della piccola cucciola è stata denunciata e pianta amaramente dai suoi padroni e soprattutto dalla sua inseparabile "sorellina" umana di 4 anni, Maia. Per questo il distretto di polizia di Victoria ha fatto di tutto per recuperare l'animale domestico, pubblicando sui social la sua foto e coinvolgendo i media nazionali. I ladri hanno visto le immagini della cagnolina circolare ovunque e, presi dal rimorso, l'hanno riconsegnata alla famiglia. I proprietari di Sasha, infatti, hanno rilasciato nei giorni scorsi diverse interviste, spiegando che la cucciola di labrador era entrata nella loro casa solamente una settimana prima e che le sue condizioni di salute erano precarie, per cui il ritorno in famiglia sarebbe stato essenziale.
