When the strings of the lute are neither too tight nor too slack, but fixed at an even tension … so too, energy that is too forceful leads to restlessness, and energy that is too slack leads to laziness.
IT · Quando le corde del liuto non sono né troppo tese né troppo molli, ma fissate a una tensione uniforme … così anche lo sforzo troppo vigoroso porta all'agitazione, e lo sforzo troppo fiacco alla pigrizia.
FR · Quand les cordes du luth ne sont ni trop tendues ni trop lâches, mais fixées à une tension égale … de même, un effort trop véhément mène à l'agitation, et un effort trop relâché à la paresse.
How a listener is chosen
STEP 1
Leave a word
Write a few lines about what music is to you. Without a comment, you do not enter the draw.
STEP 2
Answer a few questions
They measure how much music matters in your life. There are no right answers and they do not change your odds.
STEP 3
Wait for the draw
Names are drawn at random from the pool. Chosen listeners receive a personal 48-character token by email. It is issued once, lasts for life and cannot be replaced.
An offering
No sponsors, no ads. One small library kept running by one person. A contribution helps pay for the servers and never changes your place in the draw.
