  • Tno, /W the EDITION of a QUARTET for SOLO DOUBLE
    tNo, /w THE EDITION OF A QUARTET FOR SOLO DOUBLE BASS, VIOLIN, VIOLA, AND VIOLONCELLO BY FRANZ ANTON HOFFMEISTER, A LECTURE RECITAL, TOGETHER WITH SELECTED WORKS BY J.S. BACH, N. PAGANINI S. KOUSSEVITZKY, F. SKORZENY, L. WALZEL AND OTHERS DISSERTATION Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS by Harry P. Jacobson, M.M. Denton, Texas May, 1982 Jacobson, Harry P., The Edition of a Quartet for Solo Double Bass, Violin, Viola, and Violoncello by Franz Anton Hoffmeister, a Lecture Recital, Together with Three Recitals of Selected Works by J.S. Bach, S. Koussevitsky, N. Paganini, F. Skorzeny, L. Walzel, and Others. Doctor of Musical Arts (Double Bass Performance), May 1982, 68 pp.; score, 31 pp.; 11 illustrations; bibliography, 65 titles. A great amount of solo literature was written for the double bass in the latter half of the eighteenth century by composers working in and around Vienna. In addition to the many concertos written, chamber works in which the bass plays a solo role were also composed. These works of the Viennese contrabass school are an important source of solo literature for the double bass. A solo-quartet by Hoffmeister perviously unpublished was discovered by the author in the archives of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde in Vienna. This work contributes to the modern solo repertoire for double bass, and has considerable musical merit. It is a well written work using. cleverly overlapped phrases, counterpoint and imitative writing, and effective juxtaposition of contrasting instrumentation.

  • Ornamentation in Music
    Ornamentation in Music Anticipation: An anticipation occurs when a note is played before the chord to which the note belongs and resolves when the "anticipated" chord is reached: Appoggiatura: a note preparatory to another or to a chord acting as an unprepared suspension. The appoggiatura is always played on the beat - the principal note follows. The duration of the appoggiatura in performance is determined by the note value of the principal note; for an undotted principal note, the appoggiatura, as performed, takes half its value - the principal takes the remainder; for a dotted principal note, the appoggiatura, as performed, takes two thirds its value - the principal takes the remainder. The appoggiatura is written as a grace note prefixed to a principal note and printed in small character, usually without the oblique stroke: This would be executed as follows: Escape Tone: An escape tone (ET) or echappée is a particular type of unaccented incomplete neighbor tone which is approached stepwise from a chord tone and resolved by a skip in the opposite direction back to the harmony: Ornamentation: Page 1 Gruppetto (or Turn): The general shape of the turn is a sequence of four notes, the note above, the note itself, the note below, then the note itself again. Grace Note: A form of appoggiatura, the 'grace note' is played either just before the beat resolving speedily to the principal note which is itself on the beat or is played on the beat but resolves speedily to the principal note which is accented. In all cases the 'grace note' is short.

For example, the grace note, a one-note musical ornament, has no precise duration written in the score; it has to steal its duration from either the preceding or following melody notes. The empirical questions this study seeks to answer are: what duration grace notes are given; whether this varies depending upon musical context or individual differences; and whether their durations are subtracted from the preceding or subsequent melody note, or by inserting additional duration and leaving these preceding and subsequent durations unchanged. In an experiment, sixteen professional pianists performed three musical fragments (from a Beethoven Theme) ‘with’ and ‘without’ grace notes in seven different.

  • Analysis and Classification of Ornaments in North Indian
    Analysis and Classification of Ornaments in North Indian (Hindustani) Classical Music Pratyush Master Thesis MTG - UPF / 2010 Master in Sound and Music Computing Master Thesis Supervisor: Dr. Hendrik Purwins Department of Information and Communication Technologies Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona ii . to Maa, Baba & Didi iii Abstract North Indian Classical Music also known as \Hindustani Classical Music" is one of the oldest music cultures still being performed actively. Although the technologies related to Music analysis have taken a giant leap over the past few years, not much has been researched related to the expressiveness of Hindustani Classical Music. In the current work, we have tried to analyze & classify the four major types of ornaments present in the Hindustani music viz. Kan, Meend, Andolan and Gamak based on the micro variations of the pitch information of Hindustani Music. The choice of research based on the pitch data was made because of the fact that Hindus- tani music is primarily monophonic and melody based, as such the \Time Series" analyses techniques could be applied to the pitch data for analysis of Hindustani Music. AutoCorrelation Function and Dynamic Time Warping has been used to classify the four different ornaments. Kan-Meend vs. Andolan-Gamak has been classified with a success rate of 88.7% while Kan vs. Meend with 85.4% and Andolan vs. Gamak with 86.8% Apart from the methodology for analyzing & classifying the ornaments described in the current text, while undertaking the current work, a new method to correct \Octave Errors" in Hindustani Music was also developed. ii Acknowledgements First of all I would like to present my sincere gratitude to Dr.

Are the changes sudden or gradual? Does the dynamic change often? Is there use of either a sudden loud section or note, or complete silence? Is the use of dynamics linked to the dramatic situation? If so, how does it enhance it? Duration/Rhythm (length of notes etc.) Note values e.g.
