    INFORMATION TO USERS This reproduction was made from a copy o f a document sent to us for microHlming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify m " '<ings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “ target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)” . I f it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyriglited materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part o f the material being photographed, a definite method of “sectioning” the material has been followed. It is customary to begin film ing at the upper le ft hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections w ith small overlaps. I f necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • THE MATHEMATICS of the VIOLIN by Nina Hyatt Spring 1988 1
    THE MATHEMATICS OF THE VIOLIN By Nina Hyatt Spring 1988 1 For centuries, men have admired the mellow, resonant tones of Stradivari violins. In fact, the late 17th and early 18th centuries are known as the "Golden Age" of violins because of the skills of luthiers 1 such as Amati, Stradivari, and Guarnari, whose instruments possess a resonant tone quality which today's craftsmen have been unable to reproduce. It is apparent, however, that earlier models of the violin did not meet with as great a success. It is on rare occasion that one may find a modern luthier attempting to imitate the style of a pre-1 7th century instrument, and perhaps as rare is the occasion when we hear one played. Indeed, if we give credence to the words of men who were witness to the quality of the violin's precursors1, perhaps there is little reason to revive interest in the early forms: --Now the musicians Hover with nimble sticks o'er squeaking qrowds Tickling the dried guts of a mewing cat. The fiddler's croud now squeaks aloud, His fidlinge stringes begin to trole; He loves a wake and a wedding cake, A bride-house and a brave May-pole.3 1 For this and other italicized technical terms, see Glossary. 2 William Sandys, F.S.A. and Simon Andrew Forster, The History of the Violin (London: John Russel smith, 1864) 3 1 , as quoted from Marston' s "What You Will." 3 Sandys 31, as quoted from "Cupid's Banishment," 1617. 2 I'th' head of all this warlike rabble Crowdero march'd expert and able, A squeaking engine he applied Unto his neck on north-east side, His warped ear hung o' er the strings, Which was but souse to chitterlings.

  • Draft Authorized Vocabulary for Medium of Performance Statements
    MEDIUM OF PERFORMANCE TERMS FOR LIBRARY OF CONGRESS MEDIUM OF PERFORMANCE THESAURUS FOR MUSIC DRAFT AUTHORIZED VOCABULARY FOR MEDIUM OF PERFORMANCE STATEMENTS IN BIBLIOGRAPHIC RECORDS AS AGREED ON BY THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS AND THE MUSIC LIBRARY ASSOCIATION February 2013 Introduction The Library of Congress, in cooperation with the Music Library Association, is developing a new thesaurus of terms representing vocabulary for the medium of performance of musical works, Library of Congress Medium of Performance Thesaurus for Music (LCMPT). The vocabulary is intended to be used, at least initially, for two bibliographic purposes: 1) to retrieve music by its medium of performance in library catalogs, as is now done by the controlled vocabulary, Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH); 2) to record the element “medium of performance” of musical works according to the cataloging standard, RDA: Resource Description and Access (RDA). The table that follows, which contains approximately 850 terms, updates the previously posted table of terms the collaborators recommend for the new medium of performance thesaurus. The table is a working document, subject to change. Background Medium of performance is now recognized as a separate and distinct bibliographic facet that should have its own vocabulary and vocabulary structure. Searches by medium should enable users to retrieve music by a particular instrument or instrumental group, voice or vocal group, or other medium of performance term or terms the searcher may specify. As presently incorporated into LCSH, medium of performance terms may occur in headings in two ways: either along with a term for genre, form, type, or style of music (as in Sonatas (Violin and piano)), or in headings that have only one or more medium terms in them (as in Violin and piano music).
