Brink, Jules ten, Dutch composer (1838-1889).
Autograph letter signed. 9, rue de Douai [Paris], 1. III. 1888.
8vo. 1 p. on bifolium. To an unidentified editor, asking him to reprint an article from the French daily "L'Estafette" about the first concert of his son Henri ten Brink, a student of the Belgian violin virtuoso Martin-Pierre Marsick: "Mon fils Henri, élève de Marsick, vient de faire ses débuts dans le monde musical et a obtenu un beau succès. Je vous serais reconnaissant si vous vouliez bien reproduire le petit article ci-inclus et découpé dans l'Estafette". - Jules ten Brink was a student of Auguste Dupont in Brussels and Ernst Friedrich Richter in Leipzig. He worked as a bandmaster in Lyon from 1860 to 1868 and later as a piano teacher and composer in Paris. Ten Brink's compositions include an orchestral suite (1874), a symphonic poem (1876), a symphony, two violin concertos, as well as the comic operas Calonice (1869/1870) and Mascarille (1888). After his studies in Paris, Henri ten Brink (1856-1920) emigrated to South Africa, where he worked as a musician and composer. - Minor browning. Well preserved. With collector's notes in pencil (verso).

Brinkman, Alexander R
Pascal Programming for Music Research
Chicago IL: University of Chicago Press. Very Good. 1990. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. 0226075079 . B&W Illustrations & Charts; This book is in Very Good condition and appears to have been issued without a dust jacket. The book is in clean bright condition. There is a very slight dip to the spine of the book due to the weight of the book. The text pages are clean and bright. "Pascal was developed on the pattern of the ALGOL 60 language. Wirth was involved in the process to improve the language as part of the ALGOL X efforts and proposed a version named ALGOL W. This was not accepted and the ALGOL X process bogged down. In 1968 Wirth decided to abandon the ALGOL X process and further improve ALGOL W releasing this as Pascal in 1970. On top of ALGOL's scalars and arrays Pascal enables defining complex datatypes and building dynamic and recursive data structures such as lists trees and graphs. Pascal has strong typing on all objects which means that one type of data cannot be converted to or interpreted as another without explicit conversions. Unlike C and most languages in the C-family Pascal allows nested procedure definitions to any level of depth and also allows most kinds of definitions and declarations inside subroutines procedures and functions." from Wikipedia .
