Teachers and/or parents can choose the elements that best meet the specific needs of their individual situations. Our hope is that the information will be useful, spark ideas, and make connections.

    The Philosophic Game: Eighteenth-Century Masquerade in German and Danish Literature and Culture A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Anne Beryl Wallen IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Rembert Hüser, Poul Houe May 2012 © Anne Beryl Wallen, 2012 Acknowledgements My studies, research and dissertation writing have been supported by several institutions, for which I must express my most sincere appreciation: the University of Minnesota, particularly for the Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship and the Graduate School Fellowship; the Department of German, Scandinavian & Dutch, particularly for the Hella Lindemeyer Mears Fellowship, the Gerhard and Janet Weiss award, and to Hella Mears and Gerhard Weiss themselves for their support; the U.S.-Denmark Fulbright Comission; the American Scandinavian Foundation; and the P.E.O. Scholars Award. I am also grateful to the University of Copenhagen Institute of Nordic Studies and Linguistics for hosting me during my Fulbright year in Copenhagen. Thanks to Lisbet Hein of Hørsholm Museum and to Ida Poulsen of the Theatre Museum in the Court Theater for generously sharing materials and knowledge with me. At the individual level, my thanks go first to my co-advisors, Rembert Hüser and Poul Houe, for sharing their experience and providing guidance over the past several years. The size of my dissertation committee has raised eyebrows, but I could not imagine having gone forward with my project without the invaluable input each of my committee members has provided. Ruth-Ellen Joeres and Richard Leppert both also served on my Master’s committee, and so deserve special thanks for their support throughout my graduate studies.

    Tour Conciertos Grapa Email: [email protected] WebPage: www.conciertosgrapa.com CHICK COREA Maestro del Jazz, 18 veces ganador de los premios Grammy, brillante compositor y virtuoso del teclado, CHICK COREA ha alcanzado el estatus de leyenda viva luego de cinco décadas de creatividad sin precedentes y una producción artística sencillamente asombrosa. Desde la obtención de su Grammy 2012 como Mejor Solista de Jazz de Improvisación, y a lo largo de su enormemente prolífica carrera, Chick ha abordado un asombroso espectro de bases musicales en su impresionante recorrido profesional – siempre adelante, y a la vanguardia, desde el bebop a la fusión, de canciones infantiles a la música de cámara, con algunas incursiones de largo alcance dentro de la música sinfónica --, y se ha mantenido a través del tiempo en un nivel de excelencia verdaderamente impresionante. Espíritu creativo e incansable, gracias a su permanente impulso superador, Chick sigue reinventándose continuamente a sí mismo en el proceso. Innovador y Pionero Chick comenzó su carrera de la mano de maestros de la talla de Stan Getz, Sarah Vaughan y la banda de Miles Davis, donde participó en sesiones emblemáticas como In a Silent Way y Bitches Brew. Desde que decidió embarcarse en su carrera como solista en 1966, Chick ha estado a la vanguardia del jazz, tanto como pianista de renombre, al tiempo que forjaba nuevos caminos con sus bandas de jazz acústico, así como tecladista eléctrico innovador con Return to Forever y la Elektric Band. Su extensa discografía cuenta con numerosos álbumes imprescindibles, comenzando con su clásico de 1968, Now He Sings, Now He Sobs.

Graduado en el Berklee College of Music de Boston, se orientó hacia el jazz desde su formación. Se unió a Blood, Sweat & Tears durante una gira en 1977 y participó en tres de sus discos: In Concert, More than Ever y Brand New Day. Desde entonces ha trabajado con multitud de músicos, destacando su colaboración con Miles Davis desde 1981 hasta 1983.

Su segundo trabajo, titulado Time in Place, fue publicado en 1988 e incluye a Peter Erskine en la batería, Jim Beard en el teclado, Jeff Andrews en el bajo, Don Alias en la percusión y Don Grolnick al órgano. A este disco le siguió Jigsaw un año después, cuando formó un grupo con Berg, Dennis Chambers y Lincoln Goines que duró hasta 1992. En 1993 grabó su mejor disco, Standards (And Other Songs), que le valió para ser proclamado como Mejor guitarrista del año por la revista Guitar Player. Recibió dos nominaciones a los premios Grammy en 1994 y 1996 por los discos Is What It Is y Between the Lines.
