A violinist without a strong technical background meets many obstacles performing standard violin literature. This document provides detailed guidelines on how to practice selected etudes effectively from a pedagogical perspective, rather than a historical or analytical view. The criteria for selecting the individual etudes are for the goal of accomplishing certain technical aspects and how widely they are used in teaching; this is based partly on my experience and background. The body of the document is in three parts. The first consists of definitions, historical background, and introduces different of kinds of etudes. The second part describes etudes for strengthening technical aspects of violin playing with etudes by Rodolphe Kreutzer, Pierre Rode, and Jakob Dont. The third part explores concert etudes by Wieniawski and Paganini.

  • Report to the Friends of Music
    Summer, 2020 Dear Friends of the Music Department, The 2019-20 academic year has been like no other. After a vibrant fall semester featur- ing two concerts by the Parker Quartet, the opening of the innovative Harvard ArtLab featuring performances by our faculty and students, an exciting array of courses and our inaugural department-wide throwdown–an informal sharing of performance projects by students and faculty–we began the second semester with great optimism. Meredith Monk arrived for her Fromm Professorship, Pedro Memelsdorff came to work with the Univer- sity Choir as the Christoph Wolff Scholar, Esperanza Spalding and Carolyn Abbate began co-teaching an opera development workshop about Wayne Shorter’s Iphigenia, and Vijay Iyer planned a spectacular set of Fromm Players concerts and a symposium called Black Speculative Musicalities. And then the world changed. Harvard announced on March 10, 2020 that due to COVID-19, virtual teaching would begin after spring break and the undergraduates were being sent home. We had to can- cel all subsequent spring events and radically revise our teaching by learning to conduct classes over Zoom. Our faculty, staff, and students pulled together admirably to address the changed landscape. The opera workshop (Music 187r) continued virtually; students in Vijay Iyer’s Advanced Ensemble Workshop (Music 171) created an album of original mu- sic, “Mixtape,” that is available on Bandcamp; Meredith Monk created a video of students in her choral class performing her work in progress, Fields/Clouds, and Andy Clark created an incredible performance of the Harvard Choruses for virtual graduation that involved a complicated process of additive recording over Zoom.

I feel so lucky to lead Asuch an amazing group of scholars—faculty, graduate students, and undergradu- ate majors—for the next two years. I am grateful to Clare Crowston for her advice and wise counsel throughout the summer as we prepared for the transition. My faculty joins me in wishing her all the best for a productive and restorative sabbatical this year and in the new position she’ll assume in August 2020 as Associate Dean for the Humanities and Interdisci- plinary Programs in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The dedicated staff in 309 Gregory Hall provide the support we all need to keep the department running smoothly, attending to every detail. I have relied on their expertise, experience, and professionalism as I have learned the job, and I am grateful to each of them. For the past eighteen years, Tom Bedwell, our business manager, has ensured the successful running of all aspects of departmental operations. His total commitment, professionalism, and skill as a financial manager are matched by his unflagging dedication to the welfare of each and every faculty member, student, and staff. Dawn Voyles assists Tom working effi- ciently to reserve flights for faculty, pay honoraria to visiting scholars, and process receipts.

  • ABBA MANIA Return to the Florida Theatre on February 25, 2021
    ABBA MANIA Return to the Florida Theatre on February 25, 2021 Jacksonville, Fla. (May 26, 2020) – The Florida Theatre is pleased to announce the return of the world’s number one touring ABBA tribute concert, ABBA MANIA, on Thursday, February 25, 2021. ABBA MANIA returns to perform the group’s biggest hits "Dancing Queen," "Waterloo," "Mamma Mia," "The Winner Takes it All," "Super Trouper,” Fernando,” ‘‘Take A Chance On Me" and many more in this special live concert. ABBA MANIA formed in 1999 and the show has been selling out theatres and concert halls internationally ever since. This show has toured the world in its quest to bring the music of the Swedish supergroup to their millions of fans, old and new. ABBA’s timeless songs were written to be enjoyed live and ABBA MANIA gives you exactly that. Two hours of uplifting, dance inducing and sometimes heart-breaking songs, fully live with fantastic staging, lighting and effects. ABBA MANIA is the perfect concert for lifelong, die-hard ABBA fans as well as the new generation of fans who never had the opportunity to see ABBA live. Agnetha, Bjorn, Benny and Anni-Frid, collectively known as ABBA, dominated the charts for nearly ten years and enjoyed nine UK number 1 hits. At their height they became Sweden’s highest export earners, amazingly, outselling Volvo cars. ABBA Gold was continuously in the album Charts throughout the nineties and is one of the biggest selling albums ever. “Beware of imitations…this is the real musical tribute!” - Polly Graham, Sunday Mirror The historic, nonprofit Florida Theatre is sponsored by Community First Credit Union.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis is a contribution towards an historically informed understanding of contemporary music making amongst Roma in Ostrava, Czech Republic. It also challenges, from a theoretical perspective, conceptions of relationships between music and discourses of ‘race’. My research is based on fieldwork conducted in Ostrava, between August 2003 and July 2004 and East Slovakia in July 2004, as well as archival research in Ostrava and Vienna. These fieldwork experiences compelled me to explore music and ideas of ‘race’ through discourses of diaspora in order to assist in conceptualising and interpreting Romani music making in Ostrava. The vast majority of Roma in Ostrava are post-World War II emigres or descendants of emigres from East Slovakia. In contemporary Ostrava, most Roma live on the socio­ economic margins and are most often regarded as a separate ‘race’ with a separate culture from the dominant population.
