The discovery of the correspondence between the composer, the artistic director Alessandro Piovesan and the organizers of the Venetian Festival allows to reconstruct the events that led Stravinsky to change his initial plans for a Passion selon Saint Marc in favour of a short Canticum. The objections, which concerned above all the limited size of the piece, were repeated several times by Piovesan, but were all disregarded by Stravinsky. In the light of the eight letters deposited in the Archivio Storico delle Arti Contemporanee （ASAC） of Venice （in Appendix）, the circumstances bringing about Stravinsky＇s refusal can be fully understood. The references to recent studies by David H. Smyth, Akane Mori, and Jonathan Kramer regarding the identification of palindromic and proportional structures in the Canticum, offers further proof sustaining Stravinsky＇s declaration that to enlarge the piece would have been impossible. These events confirm the composer＇s unbending determination to undertake a new experimental stylistic direction already tried out in pieces like the Three Songs from William Shakespeare and Agon.展开更多

Overall prevalence ofListeria spp. in both food and water samples were 8.77%, of which one was （1.75%） Listeria monocytogenes, 2 （3.5%） were Listeria innocua and 2 were （3.5%） Listeria welshimeri. When compared between two types of samples, water samples contained two Listeria spp. （11.76%） of which one was pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes and the other was Listeria innocua. In case of food samples, three Listeria spp. （7.5%） were isolated of which one was Listeria innocua （icecream sample） and two were Listeria welshimeri （icecream sample and raw milk）. No Listeria was found in pasteurized milk, sweet, matha and borhani. Antibiotic resistance profile of the Listeria isolates showed that 60% isolates were resistant to Ampicillin and Erythromycin, 20% isolates were Sulphamethoxazole and Ciprofloxacin resistant. No resistance was observed to Chloramphenicol for any Listeria isolates.展开更多
