  Physics: Quantum Theory: Albert Einstein: Explaining Albert Einstein's Light Quanta 'Photon' of Quantum Theory
Albert Einstein (1905) used Planck's relationship to explain the results of the photoelectric effect which showed that the energy E of ejected electrons was wholly dependent upon the frequency f of incident light as described in the equation E=hf.
Albert Einstein unfortunately agreed with this probability wave interpretation, as he believed in continuous force fields (not in waves or particles) thus to him it was sensible that the waves were not real, and were mere descriptions of probabilities.
Albert Einstein assumed this interconnectedness was due to the spherical spatially extended field structure of matter, instead, it is due to the interaction of the spherical spatially extended Standing Waves of matter with other matter's Wave-Centers distant in Space.

 Classical Music :: The Classical Source :: Andante — Gounod’s Faust: A Cornucopia :: Classical Music
Both performances are supplemented by a disc’s worth of extracts recorded between 1927 and 1936, and the whole effectively forms a monumental survey of what is usually described as ’the French performing tradition’, a tradition widely perceived as having been fatally undermined by the time of the mid-1950s.
Wolff gives a darker, more melancholic account of the score than Busser (a quality reinforced by the abridgement), and also has, marginally, the better orchestra and chorus.
Wolff’s Polydor engineers were clearly more technically advanced in 1930 than their HMV counterparts since he gets a much warmer recording, whereas Busser loses some orchestral detail.

The son of the Neustrelitz sculptor and master builder Christian Philipp Wolff (b 1772), he went to Berlin in 1831 to study at the Akademie and subsequently gained acceptance in the studio of the sculptor Christian Daniel Rauch, a friend of his father’s.
Among Wolff’s first independent works was a bronze figure of a girl with a lamb, known as Innocence (1836; Berlin, Berlin Mus.).
In 1844–5, Wolff was in Italy (mainly Rome and Carrara), where he executed the charming Children’s Fountain, intended for Sanssouci (marble replica, 1844–9; Neustrelitz, Stadtpark).

Wolff’s firm held the commercial account for images with Norddeutscher Lloyd, but many of these were travel posters and the like, and not that many have apparently survived.
Wolff says there explictly that 100 of the images were replaced with those by Tritschler and by Dr. Wolff's students, to show that any serious photographer could accomplish similar results.
Wolff's name appears nowhere in this volume, but the Archiv states the halftone photos of the workers at their machines are his.

 New Insights Into Einstein, Unsealed Documents Shed Light On Physicist’s Private Life - CBS News
(AP) An Albert Einstein letter decrying the attentions of a Berlin socialite is among newly unsealed documents that promise to shed light on the private life of the 20th century's greatest physicist.
Ethel Michanowski was involved with Einstein in the late 1920s and early 30s, going so far as to chase him to England, said Barbara Wolff of the Hebrew University's Albert Einstein Archives, which on Monday unsealed more than 3,500 pages of correspondence written between 1912 and 1955, the year Einstein died at age 76.
Wolff described their relationship as an affair, but disclosed little about Michanowski other than that she was about 15 years younger than Einstein and was friendly with his stepdaughters.

On the wall to the left of court no 1 is a life-sized portrait of Sir Albert Wolff, the judge who presided over Mr Beamish's first appearance in the Supreme Court 43 years ago.
He was the judge who seemed to strongly support the police back in the 1960s - without question - and to take a grim view of anybody who dared to criticise them.
Lawyers these days are stunned to discover that Sir Albert was the presiding judge at the Beamish trial and then was one of three judges who made up the Appeal Court to hear an appeal against his own work.

 Desormiere / Wolff historic recordings
Wolff's recordings were made in the same hall in November 1957 with James Walker as producer and the legendary Kenneth Wilkinson as balance engineer—and these recordings are in fine stereo.
Albert Wolff (1884-1970) studied at the Paris Conservatory under Xavier Leroux, Paul Vidal and André Gédalge winning first prizes for harmony and accompaniment, joining the Opéra-Comique as chorus master in 1908.
In the early days of stereo Wolff made a number of recordings for Decca/london, including Glazunov's The Seasons and two of Massenet's orchestral suites (Scènes Pittoresques/Scènes Alsaciennes), all recorded with the Paris Conservatory orchestra, issued on CD in 1991 on a budget-priced Weekend Classics CD (433 088), long out-of-print.

 The Classical Music Guide
The program notes deal entirely with Wolff and really what is there to say for the very light and rather dull Massenet or the usual overtures?
Wolff's credentials were mostly in the theatre and his recordings for Polydor in the late twenties included the first ever of Prokofiev's Chout and the Fauré Pelléas et Mélisande the former with the Lamoureux Orchestra and the latter with no less than the Berlin Philharmonic at Furtwängler's invitation.
He was an expert stick man in the same vein as Paray although no way near that mighty man's match.

In 1876, the French critic Albert Wolff, writing for Le Figaro, introduced the artist Berthe Morisot to the Parisian gallery-going public: “A so-called exhibition of painting has just opened.
Here five or six lunatics, one of whom is a woman, and a group of unfortunates deranged by ambition have gotten together to show their work…These self-styled artists call themselves…Impressionists.” With this scathing commentary, Wolff inextricably linked Morisot, the sole female participant at this second Impressionist exhibition, with Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and Edgar Degas.
For the critic and for her fellow painters, Morisot’s artistic style reflected the core aesthetic values of the avant-garde group, while her inner convictions and unconventional spirit made Morisot a stand-out among professional women painters in late 19th-century France.

 Albert Wolff - Overtures In Hi-Fi - 180 Gram Vinyl
The other way round is no problem, though ideally the overture music should already contain the musical synopsis which later unfolds pleasurably into the arias and choruses.
Of the six instrumental powerhouses heard here, three have their origin in the French opera comique tradition and the three others originate in the colourful musical life of the Austrian monarchy, and all are given the full limelight here by Albert Wolff and the orchestra of the Paris Conservatoire.
One is amazed at the way in which the maestro’s brisk pace still allows the listener to sample the subtleties which otherwise tend all too often to be subsumed into the sweet array of melodies.

 Ravel Conducts Ravel
The late conductor Antonio de Almeida has said Portuguese conductor Pedro de Freitas Branco had told him he had conducted the 1930 recording of the Piano Concerto and that Albert Wolff had conducted BolÈro.
Wolff was involved to the extent that he had rehearsed Boléro, but Ravel conducted the recording.
Freitas apparently made a recording of Boléro issued on Westminster but long out-of-print; it is said that his performance took an unbelievable 18:20, almost four minutes longer than most.

For example, Albert Wolff and Samuel Mayer had a dry goods store, at which Max Mayer clerked, while Abraham Frank and Max Goldfrank, proprietors of Goldfrank, Frank & Co, wholesale dry goods, boots, shoes and hats, employed one of the Simon Franks and Phillip Sulzberger.
Following a general American trend for German-Jewish immigrants, the majority ran dry goods stores, outfitting cowboys embarking on cattle drives, local farmers and traders who passed through the city.
Some, like Albert Wolff, eventually expanded their modest emporiums into major department stores.

During World War I ozone was used to treat wounds, trench foot, gangrene and the effects of poison gas.
Dr Albert Wolff of Berlin, Germany, also used ozone for colon cancer, cervical cancer and decubitis ulcers in 1915.
As if to corroborate its validity, Dr Otto Warburg of the Kaiser Institute in Berlin, Germany, announced that the cause of cancer is lack of oxygen at the cellular level.
