"No society can go from the primeval directly to an industrial state without losing the leavening that time and an agricultural period allow."
This quote I found interesting because it is how they thought back then and now it is a really big issue today this shows how history is still going on many many years later
culminating
this is a really neat word because of its definition and I didn't know what it meant until now and I could use this word more often. Culminating means reach a climax or point of highest development.
There he also received instruction in piano and counterpoint from professor Gustav Jacobsthal, and associated closely with Ernest Munch, the brother of his former teacher, organist of St William church, who was also a passionate admirer of J. S. Bach's music.
Albert was an great man but he had many amazing teachers to learn from and that showed him exactly how to do everything and Albert just tried to be the best at it
contemporaneous
I had no clue what this word was and now I know that it means existing or occurring in the same period of time.
He studied organ in Mulhouse from 1885 to 1893 with Eugène Munch, organist at the Protestant cathedral, who inspired Schweitzer with his enthusiasm for the music of German composer Richard Wagner.[10] In 1893, he played for the French organist Charles-Marie Widor (at Saint-Sulpice, Paris), for whom Johann Sebastian Bach's organ music contained a mystic sense of the eternal.
This shows that even Albert was inspired and wanted to be great in something someone else was which is usually what happens to many people they are inspired by others and the great things that they do and the things that they do extremely well
As a music scholar and organist, he studied the music of German composer Johann Sebastian Bach and influenced the Organ Reform Movement (Orgelbewegung).
I think this is one of the best things he did because music is enjoyed by many many people and to influence people with it is really amazing to see.
Schweitzer's first language was the Alsatian dialect of German.
I was curious about this language and found out that is refers to the Germany that is mostly spoken in Alsace which started in eastern France and now in Germany.
