They met at the Widow Pratt's (The Royal Standard Tavern on Market Street), selected two surveyors, and laid down rules stipulating that at least one of them survey each house and write up reports that would be discussed by the entire Board, which would make decisions about the extent and rate of insurance. Franklin named the company The Philadelphia Contributionship for the Insurance of Houses from Loss by Fire. Already in 1736 he had helped to found Philadelphia's first fire brigade, the Union Fire Company. The Contributinship was a mutual insurance company that pooled risks. They based its method of operation (and name) on that of the Amicable Contributionship of London, founded in 1696. The new company was conservative in its underwriting, sending surveyors to inspect each building before insuring it. Accepted properties sported fire marks: four clasped gilded hands mounted on wood plaques. The actual cost of the survey was presumably deducted from the 10 shillings earnest money paid by every person insuring in the society. This also covered the costs of the policy and the "badge" or fire mark. Insurance at this time was limited to properties in Pennsylvania located within a ten mile radius from the center of Philadelphia.

Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Thomas K.

    A Performance Guide to George Rochberg’s Caprice Variations for Solo Violin by YUNG-YU LIN A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by YUNG-YU LIN 2020 A Performance Guide to George Rochberg’s Caprice Variations for Solo Violin YUNG-YU LIN Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2020 Abstract The American composer George Rochberg’s Caprice Variations, composed in 1970, draws on a vast array of historical stylistic references from the Baroque to the modern musical periods. For Rochberg serialism, arguably the most influential compositional technique of the twentieth century, could no longer convey the full extent of what he wanted to express in his music. After the death of his son Paul in 1964, he determined to renew his musical language by returning to tonality, yet without abandoning a twentieth-century musical idiom. His Caprice Variations marks one of his first attempts to bring together the two polar opposite worlds of tonality and atonality. This one-and-a-half-hour-long work for solo violin is based on the theme from Paganini’s 24 Caprices for Solo Violin, Op.1, No. 24, and presents a wide range of technical challenges for the violinist. Since the piece is long, difficult to play, and now fifty years old, a performance guide to assist violinists is a useful contribution to the pedagogical literature. With a thorough analysis of the piece, and a consideration of both compositional and violin practice issues, as well as discussions with the original editor of the work and two violinists who have recorded it, ii my research will offer a complete performance guide for performers, advanced violin students, and violin teachers to assist them in achieving a deeper understanding of the work and a high level of artistic performance.
