  골콘다

  (Golconda)

  인도 남부 안드라프라데시 주 중북부의 하이데라바드 도시지구에 있는 요새로서 폐허가 된 도시. Golkonda, Golkundā라고도 씀. | 1512~1687년 데칸의 다섯 이슬람 술탄국 중 하나인 시아 왕국의 수도였다.

• 골콘다의 영역은 고다바리 강과 크리슈나 강의 하류 사이였으며 벵골 만의 해안까지 미쳤다. 1687년 시아 왕국을 다스리던 쿠트브 샤히 왕조가 무굴 제국 황제 아우랑제브에게 망했고, 골콘다는 무굴 제국(1526~1857)에 합병되었다.

  하이데라바드 시에서 8㎞ 서쪽에 있는 요새는 둘레가 5㎞이며 벽은 석재를 동심원 모양으로 쌓았다. 궁전, 모스크, 쿠트브 샤히의 무덤이 지금까지 그대로 보존되어 있다. 근처의 산에서 나는 역암에서 추출해낸 다이아몬드로 유명했다.[다음백과]

Born into a renowned family of musicians, Berwald studied violin with his father and composition with J.B.E. Du Puy. After playing in the Swedish court orchestra and touring as a violinist for about 15 years, he lived in Berlin (1829–41) and Vienna (1842). He then returned to Sweden, and from 1846 to 1849 he was in Paris and Vienna, where he attempted to make a name for himself as a composer. He was unable to earn a living in music, however, and from 1850 to 1858 he managed a glassworks in Ångermanland. After scoring a certain success with his opera Estrella de Soria (first performed 1862), he became professor of composition at the Swedish Royal Academy of Music in 1867.

Berwald is considered the founder of musical Romanticism in Sweden and was the first important Swedish symphonist. His music, somewhat influenced by Louis Spohr and Carl Maria von Weber, is highly original in its formal construction and use of harmonic resources. His works include five cantatas; concerti for violin (1821), bassoon (1827), and piano (transcribed by Gustaf Heintze, 1908); and four symphonies composed in the 1840s, of which the third, Sinfonie singulaire (1845), is particularly esteemed.
