  The Infidels - Albert Einstein
Einstein began to form a generalized theory of gravitation with the Universal Law of Gravitation and the electromagnetic force in his first attempt to demonstrate the unification and simplification of the fundamental forces.
Einstein also investigated a natural generalization of symmetrical tensor fields, treating the combination of two parts of the field as being a natural procedure of the total field and not the symmetrical and antisymmetrical parts separately.
Einstein's writings on religion are frequently associated with pantheism, an areligious spirituality that regards the natural world as definitionally equivalent to God, and deism, a natural religion that has become identified with the belief that God created the universe but does not intervene in the world.

 The Mozart Project: Mozart, His Character, His Work
Einstein is perhaps best known as the editor of the first thorough revision of the Köchel catalog: the third edition, published in 1936.
Einstein's knowledge of music history, and the depth of his familiarity with Mozart's music in particular, means that he has something pertinent to say about almost everything Mozart composed.
Einstein reserves his cruelest comments for poor Constanze Weber, whose only apparent transgression is that she married his hero: "She owes her fame to the fact that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart loved her, and in doing so preserved her name for eternity, as a fly is preserved in amber.

 Alfred Einstein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alfred Einstein (December 30, 1880 – February 13, 1952), was a German-American musicologist and music editor.
Einstein not only researched and wrote detailed works on specific topics, but wrote popular histories of music, including the Short History of Music (1917), and Greatness in Music (1941).
In the film Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Alfred Einstein is mentioned, presumably as a mispronounciation of Albert Einstein.

Albert Einstein switches places with his chauffeur for a speaking engagement, then fields a question directed to the man the audience thought was him.
When Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speaker's circuit, he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory work.
Einstein is a particularly bad fit for this legend in that of all the brilliant people chronicled in history, he's about the only one almost everyone would immediately recognize.

 The Benucci Recitative to "Non piu andrai" - MozartForum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Einstein believed the energy and freshness of the piece, Figaro's humorously correcting himself in calling Cherubino a page, his emphatic obeisance in the words "Sor Capitano", and the quotation of the March from the following aria after the words "Uffiziale di Cavalleria" are all worthy of Mozart.
Einstein was certain Mozart composed the Accompagnato for a concert performance of the aria by his favorite singer.
However Einstein was inclined to think the concert took place before the first performance of the opera, thus during Carnival or in the spring of 1786.

 Kansas City Star yawns at Einstein by David Arthur Walters
Einstein once wrote, in a cynical vein, that "The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources." In fact, Alfred Russel Wallace sent Darwin a paper which, to Darwin's astonishment, amounted to an abstract of his own theory.
Darwin did not deny the existence of a one-god, by the way: he was not an atheist, but was an agnostic because what he saw in nature was a sort of muddle and not proof of a plan devised by an anthropomorphic god.
On the other hand, Einstein said, "God does not play dice." Not that Einstein was a by-godder (bigot): "A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary.

 Mozart's String Quartet Fragments - MozartForum   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Einstein was certain this was the fragment Constanze Mozart listed in a letter of March 1, 1800 to Breitkopf and Härtel as the "entire first part of the first Allegro to a Violin Quartet in e-minor: 14 measures" [a slip for 54 measures].
Alfred Einstein saw this as the beginning of a String Quartet in A, but any further realization of the movement was abandon in favor of that of the Quartet movement K464, and placed it as K464a in late 1784 or January 1785.
Einstein thought it no doubt was connected to the F-major Quartet K590 and thus placed it immediately before that composition, in June 1790.

 TIME.com: A Store of Knowledge -- Apr. 24, 1950 -- Page 1
Einstein's taste was an arduously cultivated and exacting one.
In 1933, as the music critic of the Berlin Tageblatt, Einstein was obliged to attend the Wagner Festival at Bayreuth held in honor of Adolf Hitler.
Now Einstein looks on his years as a music critic as a "nightmare" when he had time to be "only a bricklayer in musicology." By chasing him out of this rut and back to work as a master mason in music scholarship, Adolf Hitler, he says, became "my greatest benefactor."

 [No title]
Alfred Einstein wrote that Mozart's father, Leopold, called the developmental unity, the progression of musical thought, "il filo," the thread.
It was that "filo," which Mozart followed, which is so dependent on the "right" beginning, that the beginning must be at a high enough level, because everything else develops out of that "kernel." It is the "filo" that Mozart had in his mind before he started writing notes down.

 "New Horizons" - Column by Gail Carr Feldman, PhD - Clinical Psychologist, Author, Speaker
Their creativity has given many forms to the expression of this loving care, so that as we become accustomed to the new horizon we can know it is filled with a new spirit of interaction.
I was fascinated to read that when Einstein's preserved brain was reexamined last year, it was found to be missing a part of the normal human brain, the parietal operculum.
Einstein clearly stated that his efforts were, "to understand the mind of God." When dealing with problems, one spiritual teacher says to, "Take your mind off the problem and place it on God." Similarly, Einstein advised, "Go where the problem isn't." Fear and darkness dissolve when we contemplate light, levity, and spaciousness.

 SchenkerPilot: Einstein, Alfred
Schenker’s contact with Einstein probably arose out of the latter’s position at the Drei-Masken-Verlag at the time Das Meisterwerk in der Musik was being published by that company (1925–30).
Most of the correspondence between Schenker and Einstein survives in the Oster Collection as part of the Drei-Masken-Verlag correspondence, OC 54 (1924–27), but there are also OC B/139 (1930) and OC 50/15 (1931), and in the Jonas Collection OJ 10/17 (undated) and OJ 36/117 (1939) (all Einstein to Schenker).
Einstein published Oswald Jonas’s article “Das Autograph von Beethovens Violinkonzert,” in the Zeitschrift für Musikwissenschaft 13 (May 1931), 443-450, and also his review of Das Meisterwerk in der Musik vol.3 (November 1932: OC 2/p.88).

 Einstein Coat of Arms
The name Einstein is a proud symbol of ancient Jewish culture.
It may be an occupational surname, derived from the German word einsteinen, which means to enclose or to surround, with stone.
Numerous Jewish surnames are ornamental surnames, which are names that have an ornamental value and are not necessarily related to the localities, occupations, nicknames or given names of the first person who used the name.
