A. Laubin, Inc. is an United States American maker of oboe s and English horn s, located in Peekskill, New York . The first Laubin oboe was made in 1931 by Alfred Laubin , a performing musician who was dissatisfied with the quality of Musical instrument instruments available at the time. The creation of oboes began as a home project, but soon Mr. Laubin was able to make oboes which met the demands of his own playing career. These instruments impressed his professional oboist friends, many of whom began playing Laubin s oboes during this time. Eventually, oboe making developed into a full time occupation, beginning in the mid 1950s. In 1956, Alfred s eldest son Paul Laubin joined the business, doing repair work and eventually learning every aspect of oboe making before taking over the business when Alfred died in 1976. ref cite news url http www.nytimes.com 1991 04 26 nyregion our towns.html title Our Towns work New York Times date April 26, 1991 accessdate September 9, 2011 author Malcolm, Andrew H. ref Today, Paul Laubin who was born about Birth based on age as of date 75 2008 05 29 , his son Alexander who was born about Birth based on age as of date 31 2008 05 29 , ref cite news url http www.lohud.com article 20080529 CUSTOM02 805290557 Close up Paul Alex Laubin Oboe Makers title Close up Paul and Alex Laubin, Oboe Makers work Intown Westchester date May 29, 2008 accessdate September 9, 2011 author Higgons, Jenny ref and longtime repairman and instrument finisher David Teitelbaum, continue to produce just under 20 instruments per year.

Image PanniniMusImagin.jpg thumb 250px right Capriccio of Rome by Pannini, 1758 In painting, a capriccio plural capricci , in older English works often anglicized as caprice , means especially an architectural fantasy, placing together buildings, archaeological remains and other architectural elements in fictional and often fantastical combinations, perhaps with staffage of figures. It fits under the more general term of landscape painting . It may also be used of other types of work with an element of fantasy. This genre was perfected by Marco Ricci but its best known proponent was the artist Giovanni Paolo Pannini . This style was extended in the 1740s by Canaletto in his etched vedute ideale , and works by Piranesi and his imitators.

No individual titles help to explain these works mood and style are everything. A later series was called Scherzi di fantasia Fantastic Sketches . His son Domenico Tiepolo was among those who imitated these prints, often using the term in titles. Goya s series of 80 old master print prints Los Caprichos , and the last ... more details
