English to Spanish: Music Theory General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Music
Source text - English Music theory is the study of the practices and possibilities of music.
Music theory is frequently concerned with describing how musicians and composers make music, including tuning systems and composition methods among other topics.
Because of the ever-expanding conception of what constitutes music (see Definition of music), a more inclusive definition could be that music theory is the consideration of any sonic phenomena, including silence, as they relate to music.
This is not an absolute guideline; for example, the study of "music" in the Quadrivium liberal arts university curriculum that was common in medieval Europe was an abstract system of proportions that was carefully studied at a distance from actual musical practice.
However, this medieval discipline became the basis for tuning systems in later centuries, and it is generally included in modern scholarship on the history of music theory.
Music theory as a practical discipline encompasses the methods and concepts composers and other musicians use in creating music.
The development, preservation, and transmission of music theory in this sense may be found in oral and written music-making traditions, musical instruments, and other artifacts.
For example, ancient instruments from Mesopotamia, China, and prehistoric sites around the world reveal details about the music they produced and potentially something of the musical theory that might have been used by their makers (see History of music and Musical instrument).
In ancient and living cultures around the world, the deep and long roots of music theory are clearly visible in instruments, oral traditions, and current music making.
Many cultures, at least as far back as ancient Mesopotamia and ancient China, have also considered music theory in more formal ways such as written treatises and music notation.
Practical and scholarly traditions overlap, as many practical treatises about music place themselves within a tradition of other treatises, which are cited regularly just as scholarly writing cites earlier research.
Translation - Spanish La teoría musical es el estudio de las prácticas y posibilidades de la música.
La teoría musical se refiere frecuentemente a describir cómo los músicos y compositores hacen música, incluyendo sistemas de afinación y métodos de composición entre otros temas.
A raíz de la continua expansión de la percepción de lo que constituye la música (véase Definición de música), una definición más inclusiva podría ser que la teoría musical es la consideración de cualquier fenómeno sonoro, incluyendo el silencio, dado que están relacionados con la música.
Esta no es una regla definitiva; por ejemplo, el estudio de "la música" en el Quadrivium curricular de la universidad de artes liberales que era común en la Europa medieval era un sistema abstracto de proporciones rigurosamente estudiado de manera distante a la práctica musical.
Sin embargo, esta disciplina medieval se convirtió en la base para sistemas de afinación en siglos posteriores, y está generalmente incluida en la historia de la teoría musical de la enseñanza moderna.
La teoría musical cómo disciplina práctica abarca los métodos y conceptos que compositores y otros músicos utilizan al crear música.
El desarrollo, conservación y transmisión de la teoría musical en este sentido pueden ser encontrados en tradiciones orales y escritas de creación musical, instrumentos musicales, y otros artefactos.
Por ejemplo, antiguos instrumentos de Mesopotamia, China y yacimientos prehistóricos alrededor del mundo revelan detalles sobre la música que producían y probablemente algo sobre la teoría musical que pudo haber sido usada por sus fabricantes (véase Historia de la música e Instrumento musical)
En culturas antiguas y presentes alrededor del mundo, las profundas y largas raíces de la teoría musical son claramente visibles en instrumentos, tradiciones orales, y la producción de música actual.
Muchas culturas, por lo menos tan atrás como la antigua Mesopotamia y la antigua China, también han considerado la teoría musical de maneras más formales como tratados escritos y anotación musical.
Las tradiciones prácticas y académicas se entremezclan, dado que muchos tratados sobre la música se sitúan dentro de la tradición de otros tratados, que son citados habitualmente de igual manera que escritos académicos citan estudios previos.
Spanish to English: Historia del cine General field: Other Detailed field: Cinema, Film, TV, Drama
Source text - Spanish Hollywood y el Star System
En Estados Unidos, el cine tuvo un éxito arrollador, por una peculiar circunstancia social: al ser un país de inmigrantes, muchos de los cuales no hablaban el inglés, tanto el teatro como la prensa o los libros les estaban vedados por la barrera idiomática, y así el cine mudo se transformó en una fuente muy importante de esparcimiento para ellos.
Viendo las perspectivas de este negocio, y basándose en su patente sobre el kinetoscopio, Thomas Alva Edison intentó tomar el control de los derechos sobre la explotación del cinematógrafo.
El asunto no solo llegó a juicio, de Edison contra los llamados productores independientes, sino que se libró incluso a tiro limpio.
Como consecuencia, los productores independientes emigraron desde Nueva York y la costa este, donde Edison era fuerte, hacia el oeste, recientemente pacificado.
En un pequeño poblado llamado Hollywood, encontraron condiciones ideales para rodar: días soleados casi todo el año, multitud de paisajes que pudieran servir como locaciones, y la cercanía con la frontera de México, en caso de que debieran escapar de la justicia.
Así nació la llamada Meca del Cine, y Hollywood se transformó en el más importante centro cinematográfico del mundo.
Translation - English Hollywood and the Star System
In the United States, cinema had an overwhelming success due to a particular social circumstance; it being an immigrant-filled country, most of whom didn't speak English, the linguistic barrier hindered all theater, news, and books alike, therefore silent cinema became a significant source of entertainment for them.
Seeing the prospects for this business, and going off of his kinetoscope patent, Thomas Alva Edison tried to take control over the exploitation rights of the cinematograph.
Not only did the matter of Edison against the so-called independent producers reach a court trial, but it also resulted in a gunfight.
As a result, the independent producers migrated from New York and the East Coast, where Edison had power, to the recently-turned-peaceful West.
In a small village called Hollywood, they found ideal conditions for filming: sunny weather almost all year through, plenty of landscapes that could serve as filming locations, and the closeness to the Mexican border in case they needed to run away from justice.
That is how the so-called cusp of cinema was born, and Hollywood became the world's most important cinematographic landmark.
