Random information on the term “Piece of work”:
The sources of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, a tragedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written between 1599 and 1601, trace back as far as pre-13th century. The generic “hero-as-fool” story is so old and is expressed in the literature of so many cultures that scholars have hypothesized that it may be Indo-European in origin. A Scandinavian version of the story of Hamlet (called Amleth or Amlóði, which means “mad” or “not sane” in Old Norse) was put into writing around 1200 AD by Danish historian Saxo Grammaticus in his work Gesta Danorum (the first full history of Denmark). It is this work Shakespeare borrowed from to create Hamlet. Similar accounts are found in the Icelandic Saga of Hrolf Kraki and the Roman legend of Lucius Junius Brutus, both of which feature heroes who pretend to be insane in order to get revenge. A reasonably accurate version of Saxo’s story was translated into French in 1570 by François de Belleforest in his Histoires Tragiques. Belleforest embellished Saxo’s text substantially, almost doubling its length, and introduced the hero’s melancholy.
Random information on the term “OPUS”:
In musicology, the opus number is the “work number” that is assigned to a musical composition, or to a set of compositions, to indicate the chronological order of the composer’s production. Opus numbers are used to distinguish among compositions with similar titles; the word is abbreviated as “Op.” for a single work, or “Opp.” when referring to more than one work.
To indicate the specific place of a given work within a music catalogue, the opus number is paired with a cardinal number; for example, Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor (1801, nicknamed Moonlight Sonata) is “Opus 27, No. 2”, whose work-number identifies it as a companion piece to “Opus 27, No. 1” (Piano Sonata No. 13 in E-flat major, 1800–01), paired in same opus number, with both being subtitled Sonata quasi una Fantasia, the only two of the kind in all of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas. Furthermore, the Piano Sonata, Op. 27 No. 2, in C-sharp minor is also catalogued as “Sonata No. 14”, because it is the fourteenth sonata composed by Ludwig van Beethoven.
