Toward a Historically Faithful Performance of the Piano Works of Anton´Inqweˇrt´Y 15 Toward a historically faithful performance of the piano works of Anton´ınQweˇrt´y William Gunther Brian Kell Google, Inc. Google, Inc. [email protected] [email protected] SIGBOVIK ’18 Carnegie Mellon University April −2, 2018 Concrete The great Czech composer Anton´ın Dvoˇr´ak (1841–1904) wrote many pieces for the piano, including the famous Humoresque No. 7 in G-flat Ma- jor [2]. Unfortunately, typical performances of these works today sound nothing like what the composer intended because most modern pianos are configured with a different keyboard layout. Through painstaking histor- ical research, we have reconstructed the original Dvoˇr´ak piano keyboard layout. We have applied this discovery by transposing the Humoresque so that it is playable on a modern piano, enabling the first historically faithful performance of this piece in over a century. 1 92 Figure 1: A Dvorak keyboard with the original or “classic” layout [3]. There are several variants of the Dvorak layout, but Dvoˇr´akwas a classical composer, so this is almost certainly the one he used. Furthermore, this layout has 44 white keys (not counting the spacebar, which is clearly used only for rests). That is exactly half of the number of keys on a piano. Thus we may confidently conclude that the left half of Dvoˇr´ak’s piano layout was just these 44 keys, while the right half was the same keys again with the Shift key held down. Figure 2: A modern QWERTY keyboard with the United States layout [4]. This layout has 47 white keys (not counting the spacebar), but obviouslythree of them are useless: nobody really needs the characters ‘~]}\| [1]. This leaves 44 keys in the same positions as the keys of the Dvorak keyboard, which can then be mapped to the piano in the same way. 2 93 7 1 0 6 = , y g l a e d t - q k m v # ) % $ * , P F R & E I H S ; K B W 1 1 ! 5 3 9 2 4 8 ? . p f c r / o u i h n s ’ j x b w z /4 ( ” /c @ + : .

Although it looks strange to modern eyes, this keyboard would have looked familiar to Anton´ın Dvoˇr´akin 1894 and is unquestionably the layout for which he composed the Humoresques and his other piano works. 3 94 2 5 7 0 = w t u p a d h k ’ x v m . @ $ ˆ ( W R Y O D G J : Z V N < { 1 3 4 6 8 9 - q e r y i o [ s f g j l ; z c b n , / ! # % & * ) + Q E T U I P A S F H K L ” X C B M > ? Figure 4: The familiar Qweˇrt´ykeyboard layout, used by most modern pianos. The mapping from keys of the Dvoˇr´akkeyboard 1 1 to those of the Qweˇrt´ykeyboard is in most cases obvious. The main difficulty lies in the keys /4, /c, and /2 on the Dvoˇr´ak 1 keyboard, which do not appear on the Qweˇrt´ykeyboard. While a modern Qweˇrt´ypiano cannot reproduce the note /4 exactly, 1 we can come close by playing 1, /, and 4 simultaneously. Likewise, we can approximate /cand /2 with the chords c, / and 1, /, 2 ,respectively. { } { } Humoresque No. 7 in G-flat Major Antonín Dvořák Poco Lento e grazioso. !" 2 ! # ! # ! ! # ! ! # ! ! # '''' ' 4 ! ! ! #! #! !

The origin of the peculiarities of the Vietnamese alphabet by André-Georges Haudricourt Translated by Alexis Michaud, LACITO-CNRS, France Originally published as: L’origine des particularités de l’alphabet vietnamien, Dân Việt Nam 3:61-68, 1949. Translator’s foreword André-Georges Haudricourt’s contribution to Southeast Asian studies is internationally acknowledged, witness the Haudricourt Festschrift (Suriya, Thomas and Suwilai 1985). However, many of Haudricourt’s works are not yet available to the English-reading public. A volume of the most important papers by André-Georges Haudricourt, translated by an international team of specialists, is currently in preparation. Its aim is to share with the English- speaking academic community Haudricourt’s seminal publications, many of which address issues in Southeast Asian languages, linguistics and social anthropology.

    This publication is available in other languages and formats on request. Mae'r cyhoeddiad hwn ar gael mewn ieithoedd a fformatau eraill ar gais. [email protected] www.caerphilly.gov.uk/equalities How to type Accented Characters This guidance document has been produced to provide practical help when typing letters or circulars, or when designing posters or flyers so that getting accents on various letters when typing is made easier. The guide should be used alongside the Council’s Guidance on Equalities in Designing and Printing. Please note this is for PCs only and will not work on Macs. Firstly, on your keyboard make sure the Num Lock is switched on, or the codes shown in this document won’t work (this button is found above the numeric keypad on the right of your keyboard). By pressing the ALT key (to the left of the space bar), holding it down and then entering a certain sequence of numbers on the numeric keypad, it's very easy to get almost any accented character you want. For example, to get the letter “ô”, press and hold the ALT key, type in the code 0 2 4 4, then release the ALT key. The number sequences shown from page 3 onwards work in most fonts in order to get an accent over “a, e, i, o, u”, the vowels in the English alphabet. In other languages, for example in French, the letter "c" can be accented and in Spanish, "n" can be accented too. Many other languages have accents on consonants as well as vowels.

  • Writing & Language Development Center Phonetic Alphabet for English Language Learners Pin, Play, Top, Pretty, Poppy, Possibl
    Writing & Language Development Center Phonetic Alphabet f o r English Language Learners A—The Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a system of phonetic symbols developed by linguists to represent P each of the wide variety of sounds (phones or phonemes) used in spoken human language. This includes both vowel and consonant sounds. The IPA is used to signal the pronunciation of words. Each symbol is treated separately, with examples (like those used in the dictionary) so you can pronounce the word in American English. Single consonant sounds Symbol Sound Example p p in “pen” pin, play, top, pretty, poppy, possible, pepper, pour t t in “taxi” tell, time, toy, tempted, tent, tender, bent, taste, to ɾ or ţ t in “bottle” butter, writer, rider, pretty, matter, city, pity ʔ or t¬ t in “button” cotton, curtain, kitten, Clinton, continent, forgotten k c in “corn” c in “car”, k in “kill”, q in “queen”, copy, kin, quilt s s in “sandal” c in “cell” or s in “sell”, city, sinful, receive, fussy, so f f in “fan” f in “face” or ph in “phone” gh laugh, fit, photo, graph m m in “mouse” miss, camera, home, woman, dam, mb in “bomb” b b in “boot” bother, boss, baby, maybe, club, verb, born, snobby d d in “duck” dude, duck, daytime, bald, blade, dinner, sudden, do g g in “goat” go, guts, giggle, girlfriend, gift, guy, goat, globe, go z z in “zebra” zap, zipper, zoom, zealous, jazz, zucchini, zero v v in “van” very, vaccine, valid, veteran, achieve, civil, vivid n n in “nurse” never, nose, nice, sudden, tent, knife, knight, nickel l l in “lake” liquid, laugh, linger,

  • Rgreekl2.Ttf © Copyright 2006 Vernon Eugene Kooy Phd This Font Is An
    Rgreekl2.ttf © Copyright 2006 Vernon Eugene Kooy PhD This font is an expanded version of earlier versions, hence named Rgreekl2, which stands for Renaissance Greek with Ligatures version 2.0. It is a large font with approximately 960 glyphs and uses Unicode WGL4 numbering to accommodate the number of characters. However, semantically It is not a Unicode font. It is beta encoded similar to other Greek fonts which use beta encoding. This font is freeware and may be used and distributed freely. I retain the copyright however, in order to make improvements, expand it, or otherwise come out with an improved version. It is not an imitation of any particular font such as those of Robert Estienne, Holbein or Aldus Manutius. It is rather a composite font which incorporates many glyphs (sorts) from each of the many early printers. It is hoped that this font gains a modest distribution and not be a mere curiosity. The font is meant to imitate early printed Greek from the age of incunabula to the end of the 18th century. It is not the intention of this font to make Greek any more difficult or obscure than it already is for beginning students. The font is essentially a font for scholars. This font is organized in such a way that it can be used either as a standard Greek font or a font with Ligatures. The basic Latin section contains control codes and keyboard characters for standard Greek with ligatures for and The Latin supplement section contains Unicode control codes, kai\, ou ou=. prepositional prefixes, alternate letter forms and essential diacriticals.

  • How to Enter Foreign Language Characters on Computers
    How to Enter Foreign Language Characters on Computers Introduction Current word processors and operating systems provide a large number of methods for writing special characters such as accented letters used in foreign languages. Unfortunately, it is not always obvious just how to enter such characters. Moreover, even when one knows a method of typing an accented letter, there may be a much simpler method for doing the same thing. This note may help you find the most convenient method for typing such characters. The choice of method will largely depend on how frequently you have to type in foreign languages. 1 The “ALT Key” Method This is the most common method of entering special characters. It always works, regardless of what pro- gram you are using. On both PCs and Macs, you can write foreign characters in any application by combining the ALT key (the key next to the space bar) with some alphabetic characters (on the Mac) or numbers (on PCs), pro- vided you type numbers on the numeric keypad, rather than using the numbers at the top of the keyboard. To do that, of course, also requires your NumLock Key to be turned on, which it normally will be. For example, On the Mac, ALT + n generates “ñ”. On the PC, ALT + (number pad) 164 or ALT + (number pad) 0241 generate “ñ”. A list of three- and four-digit PC codes for some common foreign languages appears at the end of this note. 2 The “Insert Symbol” Method Most menus in word processors and other applications offer access to a window displaying all the printable characters in a particular character set.

Second!Reader!! ii ABSTRACT Author: Natalie Sullivan Title: Writing Arabizi: Orthographic Variation in Romanized Lebanese Arabic on Twitter Supervising Professors: Dr. Barbara Bullock, Dr. John Huehnergard How does technology influence the script in which a language is written? Over the past few decades, a new form of writing has emerged across the Arab world. Known as Arabizi, it is a type of Romanized Arabic that uses Latin characters instead of Arabic script. It is mainly used by youth in technology-related contexts such as social media and texting, and has made many older Arabic speakers fear that more standard forms of Arabic may be in danger because of its use. Prior work on Arabizi suggests that although it is used frequently on social media, its orthography is not yet standardized (Palfreyman and Khalil, 2003; Abdel-Ghaffar et al., 2011). Therefore, this thesis aimed to examine orthographic variation in Romanized Lebanese Arabic, which has rarely been studied as a Romanized dialect. It was interested in how often Arabizi is used on Twitter in Lebanon and the extent of its orthographic variation. Using Twitter data collected from Beirut, tweets were analyzed to discover the most common orthographic variants in Arabizi for each Arabic letter, as well as the overall rate of Arabizi use. Results show that Arabizi was not used as frequently as hypothesized on Twitter, probably because of its low prestige and increased globalization.
