Details

Saint-Georges published his concertos and symphonies concertantes in pairs, typically with one work scored for strings alone and the other with wind instruments, although this is not signalled on the title pages. Saint-Georges typically does not entrust the auxiliary parts with presenting thematic material, but their presence adds both to the weight and brilliance of the ritornello sections. The scoring in the solo sections is unusually delicate even by the standards of the mid eighteenth-century concerto with its frequent use of two- and three-part string textures, and this serves as a reminder that concertos were performed and thought of as a type of chamber music at the time even when they were played by expanded forces as was likely the case with Saint-Georges’s concertos.

The confident handling of musical structure in the first movements of Saint-Georges’s Op.2 concertos suggests that he was already an experienced composer at the time they were produced. These works established both a structural pattern and style that Saint-Georges largely adhered to in his later concertos, including those of Op.8. If there is a weakness in all these movements, it is that the solo sections contain a good deal of bravura passage work, which is not linked in any way to the thematic materials upon which the movements are based. These passages, however, reveal what a fine violinist Saint-Georges must have been. He exploits the high register of the instrument a good deal and combined with writing that demands great agility on the part of the performer, the solo parts possess an almost palpable physicality. Saint-Georges’s striking appearance, his physical grace and athleticism must have also contributed to the impact he made as a performer. His awareness of this fact may also explain in part the strong familial resemblance between his solo concertos, which represents not so much a failure of invention but rather an understanding of the visual dimensions of performance. To some extent, these same qualities are to be found in the finales of the concertos, but, being cast in the fashionable rondo form favoured by French composers, the display of virtuosity is rather more restrained. Both types of movement, however, also exbibit in places a more lyrical style of writing that also characterizes the slow movements of his concertos.

Absolute game changer for chronically dry feet/cracked heels
Size: S (up to size 7)-Beige
I had recently bought a pair of silicone heel/ankle wraps to fill out my boot a little since I noticed my heels were lifting when I was skating. I tested them out around the house and noticed they left my heels softer while the rest of my sockless feet got quite dry. So I got these full foot silicone socks to see the effect of having my whole foot covered. I slather the entirety of my feet with Dr. Scholl's Severe Cracked Heel Restoring Balm (love how convenient it is to apply it to my feet with the solid stick form) and then slip them into these silicone socks. After just a couple hours, when I pull out my feet they're (a teeny bit sweaty at first), but then overall soft and smooth and have absorbed the balm fully leaving barely any residue in the silicone sock. I find these silicone socks generally comfortable; I wear them in the evenings while relaxing on the couch, take them off after a couple hours and let my feet breathe a bit, and then reapply my balm and socks and wear them to bed. If I wake up in the middle of the night, which I almost always do (not because of the socks), I'll take the socks off and allow my feet to breathe again. I wear a woman's size 6 shoe and the small size is pretty comfortable. However, I made the mistake of wearing them while being on my feet for a couple hours straight during household chores -- they must've somehow cut off my circulation a bit with the standing, so I wouldn't recommend wearing these silicone socks while being active. And since they're not exactly my foot size, they slide around sometimes and will start to feel tight at my big toe. But if that happens, I just tug on the toe area of the sock to give my big toe more wiggle room and problem solved. Prior to wearing these socks, I was soaking and doing heavy duty exfoliation of my feet every week. These socks seem like they'll work to help me extend the time between soakings and exfoliations. The 5 pack is a great value. So far none have torn, so they seem rather durable. Not sure what I could even do to tear a hole in these.

EXCELLENT FEET MOISTURE PROTECTION
Size: S (up to size 7)-Beige, Size: S (up to size 7)-Beige
Why did you pick this product vs others?: I have burns on my feet and needed something that I could put burn creme on and still walk around in with. I tried other silicone footsie but they would teae really easily. So far these are doing really well for this purpose. They are holding their shape too. The only caution I have is the same with all silicone footsies: They can be slippery on wet floors, so also wear with socks over them. The biggest issues is when they say a size they mean it. The silicone used in these have little give in them, so they won't stretch out and loose their shape. That can be a good thing, or not so good, depending on how well they fit your feet and what your intent is with wearing these. The other issue is if they fit snug around those toes, that tends to be where the first tear in the material will happen. Because of how these are made, the tear is actually more like cracking in the material and once it occurs you won't be able to get much use out of the sock after that. If you are planning to wear them around the house or for long term use, I suggest going up a size or look for the toeless options.

Silicone socks
Size: M (up to size 9)-Beige
The socks are sized large. The quality of the silicone is good. But they slide around on your feet if you try to walk, making them difficult to use and a bit uncomfortable. Unless you are able to sit for long periods of time the likely will not work well. Recommend looking for a better value.
