NOTES ( by Leopoldo Armellini, director of the C.Pollini Conservatory )

The decision to perform Mahler's Symphony No. 1, "Titan," was difficult, but not excessively so. Certainly, the desire to tackle a piece from the great symphonic repertoire—well-known, musically complex, and technically challenging—prevailed. The risk of appearing both presumptuous and inadequate was dangerously looming. But be that as it may, temerity prevailed, and it was right that it should be so, even from a purely educational perspective. Performing "Titan" significantly raised the bar for the students called upon to compose a 100-piece symphony orchestra. However, had the performance been even adequate, it would have represented a milestone for the young orchestra members, ideally establishing a before and after "Titan." So, starting from the end, I'll never forget the students' eyes after the concert: 50 incredibly tense minutes, from start to finish, never once slacking in concentration, not even for a second indulging in self-congratulatory reflections after having mastered a difficult passage. None of this occurred, and the students noticed, because from their expressions, you could see that musically, and perhaps even humanly, they had made a leap. It was as if at that point nothing could be impossible for them, considering the starting point of the first rehearsals, those for the orchestral sections.
I believe that a good portion of the orchestra believed that Il Titano would not actually be performed, that after the first rehearsals, the Orchestral Rehearsal Teacher, Giuliano Medeossi, would have said: "Well, guys, let's go back to Viennese classicism, it's better!" And yet, day after day, bar after bar, the point of no return was reached, when the common realization that "it can be done!" It can't be said to have been easy; it was very complicated, especially because, since the performers were students (often even high school or university students), it was impossible to require everyone to be present simultaneously on every day of rehearsals. In this, the Teacher was a true magician, or rather, an alchemist: with what he had at his disposal, day after day, he built a sonic cathedral of incredible beauty.
The performance was a source of intense emotion. From the stalls, at times, you could clearly hear the audience breathing with the orchestra, and the level of empathy, thanks also to the splendor of the music, was such that many spectators found themselves in tears at the end of the performance. The CD of "The Titan" performed by the Padua Conservatory Symphony Orchestra is not for listeners who demand Euclidean perfection. To those, I recommend purchasing a studio-recorded version, with hundreds of cuts and inserts. This is a live performance and is clearly audible, including the dragging of a chair by a performer, which curiously sounds like the off-beat attack of a horn. However, since the person telling you this story is a veteran orchestral musician who has endured many battles, I can assure you that the dynamics (piano-forte excursion), the colors, the timbre, and the overall energy expressed by the orchestra are absolutely captivating and moving. The inaccuracies (admittedly few) are contained and absorbed by an overall context of intense involvement and emotion. Furthermore, for anyone who wants to check, you can listen to less-than-perfect performances by renowned orchestras on YouTube. So, this album has a purpose. First, to nurture a hundred extraordinary young people, and second, to allow a wider audience to experience the unforgettable emotion of an evening—that of March 25, 2018—which will remain in the hearts and memories of all those who attended the "C. Pollini" Auditorium in Padua.

Started off great, but kind of went left.
Format: Kindle
I liked the first few chapters. The introduction of the book have an INCREDIBLE acronym to remember the drug classes. I liked him pointing out stems because they are very helpful, BUT some of the hints and connections could've been better. Also, the book doesn't help memorize the brand/generic name. It only helps remember what drugs go into which drug classes which could be done simply just from knowing your stems. So you're right back at square one trying to remember the brsnd/generic name like you were in the first place.

Makes memorizing 200 drugs look easy!
Format: Paperback
I really liked this book. I liked how this book broke up into 7 different sections (gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, respiratory, immune, neuro, cardio, endocrine) this made it easier to understand. I also thought that Guerra did a good job of explaining what other students found helpful in memorizing these drugs, it was something that I could relate to and found this really helpful. I also really liked at the end of the chapter, how the book gave quizzes at the end of each chapter, this really helped me to retain the information and make sure I understood what the drug really was. Overall, this was a great book and I would recommend this book for anyone taking pharmacology. 200 drugs can be difficult to understand but I thought this book did a good job of memorizing the drugs.

Great for explanation of difficult concepts, with review questions each chapter
Format: Paperback
I always thought I could never understand pharmacology, so going through my Acupuncture school, I got though my pharmacology courses by rote memorization and pure luck. Then, in practice, I realize that I do have to understand pharmacology, what with the high use of medication in patients' daily routine. So I was looking for a hood, concised, simple to understand pharmacology review that I can do a quick study/review on my own time. Thankfully, I found the right book. This book is everything I've been looking for and amazingly simple to understand. I love the review questions at the end of each chapter. I wish I had found this book while in school, but for $20, it's really help me understand why my patients are taking certain drugs. It also helps me understand the western deconstruction of the Chinese medicinal herbs. I wish they'd come out with a pharmacy review just for Chinese medicinal herbs and potential contraindications, just for acupuncturists and herbalists. The current available herbal medicine textbooks just pretty much list the herbs and note western research on it, but not much of an explanation. With age, I find that I can no longer just do rote memorization, so understanding the basics really helps me to remember and apply concepts. I use this book in my clinic concurrently with a textbook on Chinese medicinal herbs pharmacological concepts to help me understand. And for that, I give it the five stars it deserves.
