"Nor do I remember seeing Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) at any of the festivities attending the marriage of the present Emperor William, who was then merely the son of the crown prince. One reason for his absence, perhaps, was his reluctance to take part in the Fackeltanz, a most curious survival. In this ceremony, the ministers of Prussia, in full gala dress, with flaring torches in their hands, precede the bride or the groom, as the case may be, as he or she solemnly marches around the great white hall of the palace, again and again, to the sound of solemn music. The bride first goes to the foot of the throne, and is welcomed by the Emperor, who gravely leads her once around the hall, and then takes his seat. The groom then approaches the throne, and invites the Empress to march solemnly around the room with him in the same manner, and she complies with his request. Then the bride takes the royal prince next in importance, who, in this particular case, happened to be the Prince of Wales, at present King Edward VII; the groom, the next princess; and so on, until each of the special envoys from the various monarchs of Europe has gone through this solemn function. So it is that the ministers, some of them nearly eighty years of age, march around the room perhaps a score of times; and it is very easy to understand that Bismarck preferred to avoid such an ordeal"

Fagottina(Italian) a small bassoon sounding a fifth higher than the standard bassoon
Fagottino(Italian m.) soprano bassoon, pitched a fifth higher that the standard bassoon, although the term is sometimes applied to a basson one oactave above the standard instrument
on the various unusual sizes of Fagott : the Quintfagott is a fifth higher as the bassoon is, so an instrument "in c" with as the lowest note an F. The Quartfagott is, an instrument in b-flat going down to G, a fourth above the bassoon. Confusing can be that also a Quintbassfagott and a Quartbassfagott did exist, a fifth and a fourth lower than the regular bassoon. And then we had the Tenoroon or Octavfagott or Fagottino, one octave above the bassoon, and the Contrafagott one octave below

Fair usea doctrine in United States copyright law that allows limited use of copyrighted material without requiring permission from the rights holders, such as use for scholarship or review. It provides for the legal, non-licensed citation or incorporation of copyrighted material in another author's work under a four-factor balancing test. It is based on free speech rights provided by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. The term "fair use" is unique to the United States, and since lately to Israel as well; a similar principle, fair dealing, exists in some other common law jurisdictions. Civil law jurisdictions have other limitations and exceptions to copyright. United States trademark law also incorporates a "fair use" defense, which also stems from the First Amendment of the U.S. constitution

These alternative resonances are often known as false tones or privileged tones
Falset-register(Dutch) falsetto register
Falsett (s.), Falsette (pl.)(German n.) falsetto, head voice
Falsettista singer who uses a method of voice production called falsetto or voce di testa, in which the vocal chords are allowed only partially to vibrate, a result that is weak in timbre and incapable of much expressive variety. For this reason, the effect is used only rarely, mainly to produce extreme tonal softness or refinement, whether intentionally or for the purposes of satire, for example, when a male singer might mimic a female voice
the art of falsetto singing was part of an old, long-standing tradition among German university student groups, as a way of replacing the use of castrati in countries or regions which abhorred them. This attitude was only strengthen as a distinction in Germany between Protestants and those Catholic courts, like the ones in Dresden and Munich, that continued to employ Italian castrati. The opera houses of Hamburg and Leipzig would never have survived without employing falsettists. The same is true for the "Collegium musicum" of any university city. When Melchior Hoffmann conducted the former Telemann - 'Collegium' (1707), there was a 'mixed male quartet' (called "Singing Choir") consisting of the following men: 1) Bass - Langmasius, who later became privy councilor to the prince in Eisenach; 2) Tenor - Helbig, later poet and secretary to the prince in Eisenach; 3) Contralto - Krone, later a chamber musician at the court in Weimar; 4) Soprano - Margrave, later deputy headmaster in Augsburg; all of these individuals are listed as enrolled at the University of Leipzig. Much later Telemann praised, as being one of the best altos, a certain Schneider (who may later have been Bach's pupil and later yet assumed the position of organist at St. Nicholas Church). The situation will not have been any different when Bach took charge of the "Collegium musicum")
