Yes, Roger Federer has finally won the French Open, after beating Robin Soderling in the final, the man who eliminated Rafael Nadal. Now Roger has won all 4 of the grand slams, and he is only the 6th person in history to do it.

And now, the grass season is fast approaching, and Wimbledon is another chance for Federer to secure the title of the greatest player ever, by winning his 15th grand slam. That would be an all time record, as he now sits with Pete Sampras at the top of the list with 14 grand slam title. Wimbledon 2009 is also a chance for Roger to reclaim the title he lost last year to the ever present Rafael Nadal. Still, Roger has to be the favorite, as this great tennis tournament always has been a favorite of Roger's.

Good luck Roger, and may you win the 15th Grand Slam title.

Roland Garros is one of the four most important tennis tournaments that are held each year, tournaments which are called Grand Slams. Each of the grand slams is played on a different surface. Roland Garros is the most important tennis tournament played on clay in the world.

Easter is one of the religious holidays that are the most important in Spain and is celebrated throughout the country. But if there is an autonomous community which lives with particular fervor, that is Andalusia. Thousands of tourists flock to Andalusia along this special week that is in the first full moon of spring. This Christian festival commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus, but also its ordeal.

Holy Week begins with the end of Lent (from Sunday to Easter Wednesday) and ends with the Easter Triduum (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Sunday of the Resurrection). About 60 guilds leave in procession with pictures of the Virgin and Jesus to the delight of tourists and locals.

The processions are organized parades involving penitents and Nazarenes who bear candles. Usually instrumental music can be heard in its path, unless the procession is a silent one. The Seville Holy Week is very special. This is one of the most important in Spain. It enjoys an international reputation within the Catholic world and was declared an event of International Tourist Interest. But besides a religious holiday, Easter is a cultural value.

The piano is built primarily on three approaches:

The keyboard piano: its strings are in a horizontal position. The grand pianos have an upper deck that can be opened, so that the sounds produced by the strings go out to the listeners without barriers of any kind. These pianos are manufactured in various sizes.

The larger and longer the piano is, the higher the sound quality.

Upright piano: it is a variation, it is less loud and a little bit lower in quality and is manufactured primarily for placement in homes where there is no room for a grand piano. It has its strings in an upright position.

Electric piano: these appeared in recent years and have reached a significant level of improvement, as the sound is extremely similar to that of real pianos and the keypad mimics the strength of hammers and allows the musician to play to a greater or lesser strength. It also offers numerous advantages over the traditional ones, like a metronome, sequencer, or the possibility of playing with the sounds of other instruments.

Piano tuning is the modification of the tension of the strings as to place them in appropriate frequencies. Music that is pleasing to the ear is achieved according to the canons of Western music.
