...most interesting things about bands, is that oft times they play the same tunes, but there is a distinct difference in presentation. In other words, arrangements are different. This has plenty to do with one's style. Even if two bands played the same arrangement, there would be a noticeable difference in execution and interpretation. Thus, a certain band becames prominent because its peculiar style appeals to the public. In every band there is something about the arrangements, that should more or less attract attention, either because they are unusually different or decidedly unique in some particular detail.

...German unity. Writers had preceded the 30s, to be sure, and students in the radical universities had given Metternich many a violent headache with their liberal ideas; but only then did they begin to succeed in their boring from within.
