Why I created this web site
This site was created for a course called "Computer Science 1" at Niskayuna High School. The assignment was to create a web site with another course as the model---the course I choose was Symphony Orchestra. Another purpose of this site is to educate people on the subject of classical music and its composers. Many people have heard such names as "Bach"
or "Beethoveen", but don't really know much more than
that. Or, even if you do, this site is a chance to
show you more. |

Quotes

|
"I cannot write poetically, for I am no poet. I cannot artfully arrange my phrases so as to give light and shade. Neither am I a painter; nor can I even express my thoughts by gesture and pantomine, for I am no dancer. But I can do so in sounds. I am a musician." -W.A. Mozart |Back to top|

Closing Statements
|
|
This website (for the most part) was created on a 166mhz Pentium in my Niskayuna home by me using only pure html---no "advanced" editors (i.e. Frontpage). If you are wondering why i didn't choose to use frames for this site it's because I think they are ugly in general. I started to use them, they I realized things were just to cramped (Check it out if you want) so I stopped. Okay, thats it from me.
