==Mall history==
'''Karol Maciej<ref>[http://pianosociety.com/cms/index.php?section=1821 Piano Society<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Szymanowski''' (3 October 1882 in [[Tymoszówka]] (present-day [[Ukraine]]) – 28 March 1937) was a [[Poland|Polish]] [[composer]] and [[pianist]], and among the most influential composers of the 20th century.
Alexandria Mall opened in 1973<ref name="ggp"/> with JCPenney, Sears, Beall-Ladymon (a chain based in [[Shreveport, Louisiana]]) and local department store Weiss & Goldring serving as anchor stores. At the time, the mall also featured a single-screen movie theater.


An expansion, completed in 1986<ref name="ggp"/>, added the department stores Dillard's and [[Mervyns]], as well as several additional stores and a food court; clothing store [[Stein Mart]] was later added as an additional anchor. In honor of the mall's expansion, local pizza chefs cooked a 650-pound pizza.<ref>{{cite news |title=Alexandria chefs make 650-pound pizza |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=AD&p_theme=ad&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB473F9C67EF7B2&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM |publisher=Baton Rouge Advocate |date=1986-08-18 |accessdate=2007-07-31}}</ref>
==Life==
Szymanowski ([[Ślepowron Coat of Arms|Korwin/Ślepowron coat of arms]]) was born to a wealthy land-owning family of the Polish gentry in [[Tymoszówka]], then in the [[Russia|Russian Empire]], now in present-day [[Ukraine]]. He studied [[music]] privately with his father before going to Gustav Neuhaus' Elizavetgrad School of Music from 1892. From 1901 he attended the State Conservatory in [[Warsaw]], of which he was later director from 1926 until retiring in 1930. Musical opportunities in Russian-occupied Poland being quite limited at the time, he travelled widely throughout Europe, North Africa, the [[Middle East]], and the [[United States of America|USA]]. These travels, especially those to the [[Mediterranean Sea|Mediterranean]] area, provided much inspiration to the composer and [[esthete]].


Beall-Ladymon was acquired and re-named by [[Stage Stores]] in 1994. In 2004, the mall was sold to J. Herzog Properties of [[Denver, Colorado]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0FOS/is_2004_April_21/ai_n6278524 |title=Mall portfolio goes to 3 buyers |accessdate=2007-07-31 |format=html |work=FindArticles.com}}</ref> and subsequently to General Growth Properties.
The fruits of these trips included not only musical works, but poetry and his [[novel]] on pederasty ''[[Efebos]],'' parts of which were subsequently lost in a fire in [[1939]]. The central chapter was translated by him into Russian and given as a gift in [[1919]] to [[Boris Kochno]], who was his beloved at the time. Szymanowski also wrote a number of love poems, in French, to the 15 year old boy. Among these are ''Ganymède,'' ''Baedecker,'' ''N'importe,'' and ''Vagabond.''


Stein Mart closed on April 30, 2006, followed soon by the closure of Mervyns. In March 2007, [[Burlington Coat Factory]] opened in the former Mervyns location, while Weiss & Goldring relocated outside the mall.
Writing about his novel, Szymanowski said, "In it I expressed much, perhaps all that I have to say on this matter, which is for me very important and very beautiful." It remains available in a German translation as ''Das Gastmahl. Ein Kapitel aus dem verlorenen Roman Ephebos.''<ref name="gastmahl">{{citation |title=Das Gastmahl: Ein Kapitel aus dem verlorenen Roman Ephebos |first=Karol |last=Szymanowski |first2=Wolfgang |last2=Jöhling |year=1993 |publisher=Rosa Winkel |place=Berlin |isbn=3861490099}}</ref>

==Influences==

Szymanowski was influenced by the music of [[Richard Wagner]], [[Richard Strauss]], [[Max Reger]], [[Alexander Scriabin]] and the impressionism of [[Claude Debussy]], and [[Maurice Ravel]]. He also drew much influence from his countryman [[Frédéric Chopin|Chopin]] and from Polish folk music. Like Chopin he wrote a number of [[mazurka]]s for piano. He was specifically influenced by folk music from the Polish Highlands [''Górale''], which he discovered in [[Zakopane]], in the southern [[Tatra mountains|Tatra]] highlands, even writing in an article entitled ''About Górale Music'': "My discovery of the essential beauty of Górale (Polish Highlander) music, dance and architecture is a very personal one; much of this beauty I have absorbed into my innermost soul." (p.97) According to Jim Samson (1977, p.200), it is "played on two fiddles and a string bass," and, "has uniquely 'exotic' characteristics, highly dissonant and with fascinating heterophonic effects." Carefully digesting all these elements, eventually Szymanowski developed a highly individual rhapsodic style and a unique harmonic world of his own.

==Works==

{{main|List of compositions by Karol Szymanowski}}

Among Szymanowski's better known orchestral works are four [[symphony|symphonies]] (No. 3, ''Song of the Night'' with choir and vocal soloists and No. 4, ''Symphonie Concertante'', with piano concertante) and two dream-like [[violin concerto]]s. His stage works include the [[ballet (music)|ballets]] ''[[Harnasie]]'' and ''[[Mandragora]]'' and the [[opera]]s ''[[Hagith (opera)|Hagith]]'' and ''[[King Roger|Król Roger]]'' ('King Roger'). He wrote much piano music, including the four ''[[Etude]]s'', Op. 4 (of which No. 3 may be his single most popular piece), many mazurkas and the exquisite and highly individual ''[[Metopes]]''. Other works include the ''Three Myths'' for violin and piano, two masterful string quartets, a sonata for violin and piano, a number of orchestral [[song]]s (some to texts by [[Hafiz]] and [[James Joyce]]) and his ''[[Stabat Mater (Szymanowski)|Stabat Mater]]'', an acknowledged choral masterpiece.

According to Samson (p.131), "Szymanowski adopted no thorough-going alternatives to tonal organization [...] the harmonic tensions and relaxations and the melodic phraseology have clear origins in tonal procedure, but [...] an underpinning tonal framework has been almost or completely dissolved away."

Mall history

Alexandria Mall opened in 1973[1] with JCPenney, Sears, Beall-Ladymon (a chain based in Shreveport, Louisiana) and local department store Weiss & Goldring serving as anchor stores. At the time, the mall also featured a single-screen movie theater.

An expansion, completed in 1986[1], added the department stores Dillard's and Mervyns, as well as several additional stores and a food court; clothing store Stein Mart was later added as an additional anchor. In honor of the mall's expansion, local pizza chefs cooked a 650-pound pizza.[3]

Beall-Ladymon was acquired and re-named by Stage Stores in 1994. In 2004, the mall was sold to J. Herzog Properties of Denver, Colorado,[4] and subsequently to General Growth Properties.

Stein Mart closed on April 30, 2006, followed soon by the closure of Mervyns. In March 2007, Burlington Coat Factory opened in the former Mervyns location, while Weiss & Goldring relocated outside the mall.
