Why is this composer so controversial? Iβve been told to not take arias written by him for competitions or auditions, because people βeither hate him or love him.β I have an opera director right now who says he will never put on an opera by Menotti.
If you've heard one, you've heard Amahl.
Ward 9 desperately needs better representation moving forward!! I know there is a lot of distain for this guy.
Ward 9 includes the following communities: Albert Park/Radisson Heights, Applewood Park, Belvedere, Bridgeland/Riverside, Dover, Erin Woods, Fairview, Forest Heights, Forest Lawn, Inglewood, Manchester, Ogden, Penbrooke Meadows, Ramsay, Red Carpet, Renfrew, and Southview.
Victorio Spinetto loved a good fight while growing up. And, as a football player and coach, he was seemingly obsessed with the notion of manliness. A centre-half from Buenos Aires, he rallied against the concept of La Nuestra, a style of play based on fluidity and creativity that prevailed in Argentina between the 1930s and 50s.
According to the proponents of La Nuestra, football was a show, a spectacle to be enjoyed. But, for Spinetto, football was something to be won, nothing less and nothing more. Hence, when he took charge of VΓ©lez in 1942, victory was the only thing on his mind. Over the next 14 years he would lead the club to the Primera DivisiΓ³n and achieve a runners-up finish with them, something VΓ©lez had previously never done. During this time, Spinetto would also leave his mark on Osvaldo Zubeldia, a striker who played for him between 1949 and 1955.
Zubeldia went on to view Spinetto as his mentor and would become his coaching protegΓ© after his playing career had come to an end. He often achieved notoriety for the wrong reasons. His Estudiantes side of the late 1960s are widely viewed as one of the ugliest teams of all time. They were known as "Dirty Estudiantes" and made Don Revie's Leeds look like innocent schoolboys. They employed gamesmanship, fouled incessantly & tactically, and defended doggedly. Even supplying their more destructive players with needles and other sharp objects to use during the game. All in all, they werenβt easy on the eye. Then again, they didnβt want to be.
Carlos Bilardo was one the key figures of that Estudiantes side, playing in midfield. Bilardo perfectly represented the teamβs anti-fΓΊtbol philosophy and would later take elements of Zubeldiaβs tactics and leadership with him into coaching. Bilardo would end up leading Argentina to their World Cup win in 1986 with a deeply practical, system-driven approach that completely opposed the vision of his contemporary, CΓ©sar Luis Menotti, who had achieved hero-status in Argentina for guiding them to their first ever World Cup win in 1978.
Spinetto, the idol of Zubeldia and by proxy the father of Bilardo's ideas, would retire from football management in 1978. After that he took up an influential role with Velez Sarsfield's youth academy, where he would have a profound effect on a young boy named Diego "El Cholito" Simeone.

>Mathematicians can be subdivided into two types: problem solvers and theorizers. Most mathematicians are a mixture of the two although it is easy to find extreme examples of both types.

>To the problem solver, the supreme achievement in mathematics is the solution to a problem that had been given up as hopeless. It matters little that the solution may be clumsy; all that counts is that it should be the first and that the proof be correct. Once the problem solver finds the solution, he will permanently lose interest in it, and will listen to new and simplified proofs with an air of condescension suffused with boredom.
>
>The problem solver is a conservative at heart. For him, mathematics consists of a sequence of chellenges to be met, an obstacle course of problems. The mathematical concepts required to state mathematical problems are tacitly assumed to be eternal and immutable.
>
>Mathematical exposition is regarded as an inferior undertaking. New theories are viewed with deep suspicion, as intruders who must prove their worth by posing challenging problems before they can gain attention. The problem solver resents generalizations, especially those that may succeed in trivializing the solution to one of his problems.

>The problem solver is the role model for budding young mathematicians. When we describe to the public the conquests of mathematics, our shining heroes are the problem solvers.

>To the theorizer, the supreme achievement of mathematics is a theory that sheds sudden light on some incomprehensible phenomenon. Success in mathematics does not lie in solving problems but in their trivialization. The moment of glory comes with the discovery of a new theory that does not solve any of the old problems but renders them irrelevant.

>The theorizer is a revolutionary at heart. Mathematical concepts received from the past are regarded as imperfect instances of more general ones yet to be discovered. Mathematical exposition is considered a more difficult undertaking than mathematical research.
