And this time around, things go from hot to nuclear when government secrets are on the line.

Measure What Matters: How Google, Bono, and the Gates Foundation Rock the World with OKRs , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min
Legendary venture capitalist John Doerr reveals how the goal-setting system of Objectives and Key Results (OKRs) has helped tech giants from Intel to Google achieve explosive growth - and how it can help any organization thrive. In the fall of 1999, John Doerr met with the founders of a start-up whom he'd just given $12.5 million, the biggest investment of his career. Larry Page and Sergey Brin had amazing technology, entrepreneurial energy, and sky-high ambitions, but no real business plan. For Google to change the world (or even to survive), Page and Brin had to learn how to make tough choices on priorities while keeping their team on track. They'd have to know when to pull the plug on losing propositions, to fail fast. And they needed timely, relevant data to track their progress - to measure what mattered. Doerr taught them about a proven approach to operating excellence: Objectives and Key Results. He had first discovered OKRs in the 1970s as an engineer at Intel, where the legendary Andy Grove ("the greatest manager of his or any era") drove the best-run company Doerr had ever seen. Later, as a venture capitalist, Doerr shared Grove's brainchild with more than 50 companies. Wherever the process was faithfully practiced, it worked. In this goal-setting system, objectives define what we seek to achieve; key results are how those top-priority goals will be attained with specific, measurable actions within a set time frame. Everyone's goals, from entry level to CEO, are transparent to the entire organization. The benefits are profound. OKRs surface an organization's most important work. They focus effort and foster coordination. They keep employees on track. They link objectives across silos to unify and strengthen the entire company. Along the way, OKRs enhance workplace satisfaction and boost retention. In Measure What Matters, Doerr shares a broad range of first-person, behind-the-scenes case studies, with ungekürzt.

Milani, C: Tribute To Ida Presti-Music For Solo Guitar
'One of the greatest guitarists of all time,' remarked John Duarte in his entry on Ida Presti for Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians. Best-known in posterity as one half of the celebrated Presti-Lagoya duo, she is celebrated on this album as a composer and virtuoso in her own right, half a century after her unexpected death in the middle of a US concert tour, at just 43 years of age. In her booklet-note, Cinzia Milani remarks that she has always considered Presti a role-model, not only for her prodigious talent as a guitarist, but as a female musician in a culture and industry still often dominated by male authority. She presents here six studies by Presti herself, a Danse rhythmique and an Etude du matin, and Presti's tribute to her own hero, Segovia. Just as Presti dedicated the dance to her husband Lagoya, so Milani follows it with two works which he in turn dedicated to her. Then there are various works by composers little known outside guitar circles such as Miguel Abloniz and indeed Duarte. Through all these works may be traced the joyous personality of Presti herself, summed up by her granddaughter Isabelle in the booklet as 'elegant nimbleness, luminous musicality and wonderful self-confidence'. She was friends with many of the composers such as Gontran Dessagnes, who wrote his Tendesse for her in 1954. The work by Guy Morançon is a tribute to her memory, composed in the wake of her death. Finally, Milani has written her own tribute, Quattro Mi, in admiration for the extraordinary facility of Presti in holding down the note E (Mi in solfege) on four different strings simultaneously. By its nature, the album is unique in the catalogue, of immediate interest to guitarists and anyone curious about a great artist of the last century. This recording was made on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the death of Ida Presti, one of the greatest guitarists of the 20th century, a pioneering woman who used her extraordinary talents for the popularization of her instrument and the music written for it. Italian guitarist Cinzia Milano compiled the program for this new recording, consisting of original works by Ida Presti as well as works by other composers which are dedicated to her: Alexandre Lagoya, Miguel Abloniz, John Duarte, Dimitri Fampas, Gontran Dessagnes and Francis Poulenc. The booklet contains contributions by the artist as well as by Isabelle Presti, the granddaughter of Ida Presti.- Shop: odax

La Historia de la Guitarra Musica en Mexico
La historia de la guitarra se inicia, en el continente americano con la enseñanza, la cual comenzó a impartirse en 1523 en la escuela fundada por Fray Pedro de Gante en Texcoco. En esa institución los indígenas aprendieron a leer y escribir música, así como también la ejecución y construcción de varios instrumentos y, de acuerdo a Motolinia: "finalmente no hubo género de música que no tuviesen los indios y usasen en sus poblados, y ellos mismos lo labran todo, que ya no hay que traerlo de España." También existe una mención epistolar, hecha en 1532 por Fray Pedro de Gante a su primo Carlos V, relatándole que los indígenas de su escuela ya podían rivalizar con los músicos de su Capilla Real. La primera publicación de música para vihuela fue El Maestro de Luys Milán, aparecido en Valencia en 1536, habiendo sido seguido por los Seis libros del Delphin en musica de Luis de Narváez, impreso en Valladolid en 1538 y ambos tratados, al ser publicados, fueron prontamente enviados a la escuela de Fray Pedro en Texcoco. La Canción del Emperador es una transcripción de la famosa Mille Regrets de Josquin des Prés, obra favorita de Carlos V, escrita dentro de la forma típica de la canción francesa del siglo XVI, forma que ejercería una influencia en el desarrollo de la canzona instrumental. En esta publicación de Narváez aparecieron publicadas las primeras variaciones, conocidas entonces como diferencias, como es el caso de Guardame las vacas, canto tradicional sobre el cual la mayoría de los vihuelistas y también algunos guitarristas compusieron variaciones. El manuscrito 1560 de la Biblioteca Nacional de México es un cuaderno de música que contiene 69 obras para guitarra barroca y fue catalogado como Tablatura Musical debido al empleo de este sistema de escritura, empleado para diversos instrumentos, desde finales de la Edad Media hasta el siglo XVIII. Debido a que cuatro piezas del Ms. 1560 aparecen en el Resumen de Acompañar de Santiago de Murcia, publicado en 1714, varios estudiosos han apuntado la posibilidad de que Murcia sea el autor del Ms. 1560. Sin embargo, al ser las obras de este manuscrito menos elaboradas que las versiones aparecidas en la publicación de Murcia, esto sería un indicio de su existencia anterior, lo que también vendría a desvirtuar la suposición de que Murcia hubiese pasado sus últimos años en México y que entonces hubiese escrito este manuscrito de la Biblioteca Nacional. Las 4 Casas tiene un aire muy mexicano y está compuesta en dos secciones contrastantes, una lenta en 3/4 y otra más rápida en 6/8. Es curiosa y más bien extraña para esa época, la relación tonal entre ambas secciones, ya que la primera está escrita en Do mayor y la segunda en Re menor. La María es una de las piezas que aparecen en la obra de Murcia, pero allí lleva el título de La Mariee, significando en francés: la que está casada. Lo cual nos hace cuestionarnos sobre cuál de estos títulos será la corrupción del otro. La Valona de Bocanegra es otra de las danzas típicamente mexicanas del manuscrito y en ella se emplea la técnica del rasgueado, procedimiento muy en boga en la música de la época para acompañar el canto o la danza. Este procedimiento resulta ser diametralmente opuesto al punteado, sin embargo, en esta danza aparecen ambos puesto que en la coda es empleado solamente el punteado. El Colegio de Santa Rosa de Santa María de Valladolid fue fundado en la primera mitad del siglo XVIII para mantener y educar a niñas desamparadas de la diócesis de Michoacán. Además de la instrucción general, se contaba con una enseñanza musical de primer orden por lo que prácticamente funcionaba como un conservatorio de música, actividad similar a la ejercida en Venecia por el Ospédale della Pietá dei Mendicanti donde enseñó Antonio Vivaldi. En Morelia, el rico archivo musical del colegio sirve como testimonio del nivel académico y fue estudiado y dado a conocer, en la década de los 30, por Miguel Bernal Jiménez quien organizó un concierto el 30 de Mayo de 1939 para dar a conocer diversas obras que formaban parte de este archivo. Entre ellas fueron ejecutadas la Sonata no. 5 y la Sonata no. 8 por el eminente guitarrista Renán Cárdenas y en el programa impreso Bernal Jiménez escribió: "Estas dos pequeñas sonatas son admirables por su aire juvenil y su correcta factura. Los primeros tiempos están construidos en forma sonata y los últimos en forma suite, siguiendo en ésta los pormenores que se advierten en las suites de Bach: las representaciones de las fórmulas cadenciales de las dos partes de la forma. Son particularmente hermosos el Minué majestuoso y el Allegro vivo con que concluyen, respectivamente, las dos sonatas." La Polka Militar de Pérez de León, así como las tres piezas que le siguen en la presente grabación, marcan un cambio sustancial en el estilo musical del país, al pertenecer al período posterior a la Independencia, mismo que se caracteriza por la aparición espontánea de un nacionalismo mexicano que servirá para contrarrestar las influencias externas de las postrimerías de la época colonial. La Polka Militar está dedicada a Doña Dolores Tosta de Santa Ana y aparece en su parte media la reproducción de un redoble de tambor y de un toque de clarín. Henriette Sontag fue una celebre soprano alemana que se distinguió por su representación del papel principal de la ópera de Weber Euryanthe en 1823 y por su participación en el estreno en Viena, tanto de la 9ª. Sinfonía, como de la Misa Solemne de Beethoven en 1824. Su última actuación fue en el papel de Lucrecia Borgia, en la ópera de Donizetti, durante una gira por México, muriendo victima de una epidemia de cólera, el 17 de junio de 1854 en la capital del país. En el Recuerdo de la Sontag podemos apreciar el sentimiento producido por esta sensible pérdida, el cual es expresado por medio de un vals lento y de la guitarra de siete órdenes, instrumento empleado en México durante el siglo XVIII. La contradanza, según el Grove's Dictionary es de origen inglés y su nombre francés no es más que una corrupción de su nombre original country dance. Prueba de esto son las Suites des danses des bals du roi de 1699, publicadas por la casa Ballard, las cuales contienen 17 "contredanses anglaises". La música de la contradanza tiene un carácter vivo, están escritas en compás de 2/4 o 6/8 y se componen de frases formadas por ocho compases, que se repiten. Sin embargo, La Primavera está escrita en 3/8 y La Moreliana en 3/4, esta última con un estribillo que se repite varias veces, lo que viene a dar como resultado una especie de rondó. Tanto Mozart como Beethoven compusieron contradanzas. Felipe Villanueva, pianista y compositor, nació en Tecamac el 5 de febrero de 1862, habiendo fallecido 31 años después. Según Robert Stevenson era un indígena de sangre pura, pero lo cierto es que su Vals Poético compuesto para piano, es una obra que aún sigue siendo tocada en la actualidad en un sinnúmero de arreglos para una diversidad de instrumentos y conjuntos, habiendo conservado una vigencia y frescura notables. El Diccionario de la Música Labor sostiene que Villanueva debe ser considerado como el creador de la "danza mexicana" y Manuel M. Ponce lo proclamó como "el poeta del piano". Formó el "Grupo de los Seis" junto con Ricardo Castro, Gustavo E. Campa, Carlos J. Meneses, Juan Hernández e Ignacio Quezadas, además de haber incorporado a Bach y Chopin -ignorados en los conservatorios- al plan de estudios del Instituto Musical que fundó en compañía de su grupo. La pianista Eva María Zuk, gran divulgadora de la música de Villanueva y muy apreciada amiga, fue quien me introdujo a sus obras, a través de sus grabaciones y recitales, así como también con la edición de la obra completa para piano de Villanueva, que tuvo a bien obsequiarme y en la cual Stevenson se refiere a él como "genio de primer orden" considerándolo como "el Franz Schubert de América." Y fue precisamente en uno de sus recitales, cuando escuché el Lamento, aquí grabado y pensé que- Shop: odax
